    Veggie platter
    Jil R.

    Where to start, great service and great food! We've been looking for a spot to get delicious middle eastern food and nothing has been able to get us to come back. We will definitely come back here. The pita is the best we've tasted in the area. The food had flavor! Great use of spices. Do yourself a service and don't skip desert. This a place where you go for the food and people. I wouldn't call them staff because they treat you like family :)

    Excellent Egyptian food, service was just okay, could have been more attentive considering we were the only ones in there. We were there between lunch and dinner so can't say what it would be like during lunch or dinner hours and the ambiance was nice for a strip mall location.

    Go here! I just visited again today and this place is a hidden gem!!! The staff is lovely, the food is great and you'll get some of the best hummus and flatbread you've ever had. Fresh, hot, delicious. This clean little restaurant is great for casual lunch or dinner. Help keep great little independent restaurants thriving in this area!!

    Had a lovely lunch here the other day! The first thing you notice when you walk up to this new Hazel Dell restaurant are 2 life size Egyptian/Pharaoh looking statues. They are a nice welcoming touch! We took selfies with them for fun! The hostess/waitress was very friendly and helpful. I asked her what menu item she liked best and she pointed to the Nefertiti Special. It comes with a mixture of chicken or lamb or one can choose either one exclusively. I got the mix and it was good! It came with buttery seasoned rice and a fresh salad with cucumbers, onions and tomatoes with a lemony dressing. It comes with hummus but I love Babaganoush and she subbed that in with no extra charge. I also had one of their chocolate garnished baklavas in a cigar shape. Everything was delicious! It's nice to have another Mediterranean restaurant in Clark County. I'll be back for sure!

    How wonderful for us to be able to welcome delicious Middle Eastern food to North County! Nefertiti offers many dishes on its menu that you will recognize if you like Arabic food, and some that are house specialties, like the Nefertiti special, which I had. It consisted of delicious fresh veggies mixed with your choice of chicken, lamb or a mix of the two that is nicely spiced. Rice and a salad of cucumber, tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and parsley with a tangy lemony dressing. Oh and hummus and soft warm pita triangles is also included, making it a great value! They let me substitute baba ganoush for the hummus and didn't charge extra. They also have several kinds of baklava, including one with chocolate & walnuts. Fabulous! Our server and the woman who appeared to be the owner running the cash register were friendly and gracious. I'm looking forward to trying more items on the menu! You should try it too!

    Pretty good overall. Hummus was very tasty. The beef kabob was better than the lamb and the rice addition was excellent. Definitely eating here again but maybe not an hour before closing.

    I put in an order to go - they were friendly and pretty quick with my order. The place is nice with some fun Egyptian decor and statues. The gyro and falafel were so good. I would pass on the fries and hummus next time( bland flavor).

    We tried the new Nefertiti Egyptian restaurant on HWY 99 last night. We had the hummus, warm pita bread, gyro and garlic fries. Everything was absolutely wonderful! Very tasty tzatziki, awesome gyro and some of the best fries ever. They were almost like very light potato skins.. but not skins? Love the spices and how they use subtle hints of lemon. Sooo good! Makes my mouth water to think of it again. They've only been open for a little over a month now and honestly I don't think there are too many kinks to work out as a new restaurant. Our waitress was super warm and welcoming, the place was spotless, and they have a great menu! And the food... DELICIOUS!

    Nefertiti special with hummus included

    Great service and yummy food! We like that the food warm-hot when they came out, even the pita bread! We ordered Baba Ganoush, Nefertiti dish (chicken and lamb) and Nefertiti special (chicken) --all yummy!!! We'll be back!

    Call me a pharaoh because I felt like a king eating here. It's a nondescript restaurant facade in a small shopping center off hwy 99 on a busy section. You may have been driving past it for months. I was. Don't let that fool you. The seating is comfortable and plenty. The staff helpful and kind. But best of all, the food! We had the Veggie Mazza Platter to get us a taste of many things. I didn't expect much because it looks like a typical menu. These dishes are at the top of the food pyramid. Fantastic! The hummus was uniquely spectacular, so creamy and with its own special seasoning. The baba ghanoush was the best I've had. Dolmas were not as tart as I'd like but the flavor was more than balanced. The falafel? Most and seasoned perfectly. Great texture on the outside and inside. Even the greens and reds were satisfying. The whole dish was gobbled up. I ordered lentil soup because I've always loved lentil soup. That soup was so good we had to order another. So good! It's almost not a lentil soup because it's not grainy or lumpy and it's so delicately seasoned that you forget it's good for you. If you don't like lentil soup, you must try it. It'll change your mind. The pita was so fresh and scrumptious. Our friends had the Shawarma and the Nefertiti wrap. Both were exceptional! We all agreed we're going back. And I think I have a new favorite lentil soup/falafel/hummus platter spot. Queen Nefertiti never had it so good.

    veggie mezze platter
    Nicole K.

    YUM. The food here is fantastic. The service is super friendly and attentive. The veggie mezze platter was one of the finest we've had (and we've had them all over). The baba ganoush was super smoky, the dolmas were delicious, the falafel was crispy, and the pickled cabbage was delightful. The platter could use tzatziki, but the gyro came with it so we used that with the falafel. The meal came with unlimited pita as well. The boba tea feels out of left field (it was good, though) - looking at the first review from earlier this year we now understand how that happened. The decor feels a little unfinished, but don't let that put you off. The food belongs in a much higher-end location than in this random shopping center.

    We were at the Mall and wanted something different. I went to google Maps and typed in "food near…read moreme," to get every possible option. At the edge of the screen I saw "Mediterranean." It was only a couple of miles away. We find what appears to be a food truck and behind it a tiny storefront mostly hidden by the truck and an empty store next to it. There are a few parking spaces. Most people might turn and drive away, but having traveled the world and growing up near NYC, I know not to ever judge a restaurant by its unfortunate location. We ordered two of the Gyros. They serve a nice tea for free. The owner's name is Edmund. He was very friendly and he gave us some samples of his Chicken Shawarma and Falafel so we could try them. All the food was fresh, carefully prepared, and was delicious. You can see he takes his business and his families traditional foods very seriously. So if you want a break from pizza, burgers, cold cuts, and greasy American Chinese food, go experience Edmond's Humas Humas. Don't forget to tell him a guy on Google sent you.

On our last visit there earlier this week, we had gyros, falafel, and salad. The gyros they serve are the best we have ever eaten as well as their falafel. The sauces are all topnotch and delicious also. Their food is authentic Middle Eastern and it is the best we have had in Vancouver. The restaurant is small and is located in a strip mall, so it apparently does lots of take out orders. We always dine in but our orders are always served in take out containers, but each table in the dining room had vases of fresh roses. We are just happy we discovered this restaurant and this wonderful food. Highly recommend if you like Middle Eastern fare.

    So happy to add "I Heart Gyro" to our list of Mediterranean restaurants!…read moreIt's easy to get to, the dining room is medium sized w/booths, it's clean inside & out and the food is delicious! Plus, I love going into places where the employees seem genuinely happy to work there & this place is no different. We were greeted warmly, questions were answered & in spite of ordering at a counter, they didn't forget about us. They brought drinks & silverware to the table, then checked up on us a couple of times during our meal. They have a menu with several choices, the portions were generous enough that we had plenty to bring home for another meal. If you're into "clean eating", this is a great example. The food and sauces aren't OVERLY salted or seasoned, but just right. You can taste the actual flavors of the food, which was so refreshing! I've included pictures of their current menu & the dishes we ordered. We're definitely looking forward to visiting again!

The first time they had nice big chunks of chicken breast that were charred just right. This time it was just chicken strips and I felt that they barely grilled them. There wasn't much charred taste to them. I tried the plain garlic sauce this time. it was OK, but I really liked the spicy garlic sauce that I got in my the first Gyro better. It was more flavorful.. I also got a small order of their fries. Must say the fries were pretty good. However, at over $17 ane charge ,before tip, I don't feel it's worth that much. I noticed us when you look at the photos from the reviews some of the chicken chunks look more grilled and charred than other times.. I guess it depends on who works there. Too bad they're pretty inconsistent. That's exactly why I will not be coming back.

I ordered the chicken Gyro and asked for cucumbers. Unfortunately, the chicken was not very tasty. I was hoping for charbroiled chunks of chicken breast, like "I Heart Gyro" does. Instead it was thin strips of seasoned chicken that were probably thawed out from the freezer. The Tzatziki sauce was very good though! Because I asked for extra sauce, it made the Iceberg lettuce soggy, as well as the thin slices of onions. By the time I picked off all the soggy pieces of Iceberg lettuce and thin slices of onions, I was left with just two slices of tomatoes and two slices of cucumber! Definitely not worth paying the extra dollar for two slices of cucumber! I paid almost $15 for this Gyro that lacked crisp veggies and they were stingy with the Feta cheese! Only a few crumbles. I feel very disappointed, because I read wonderful reviews about this place. Too bad, so sad! P.S.: If you want a delicious Chicken Gyro with marinated and grilled chunks of chicken breast, "I Heart Gyro" can't be beat!
