A slice of Egypt right there on 17th Ave. The owner is a delightful, friendly and welcoming Egyptian. We ordered the Nile Special Grill for 2, see pic. Freshly cooked and full of flavour. The green tea has fresh mint in it. Please support this wonderful local business, they will appreciate you and they will treat you to authentic Egyptian food.

Honestly one of my favourite go to lounges I usually go there with my friends to smoke shisha and have their lovely desserts with their house made karak tea.
And I truly find it such a shameful thing from people who just go out of their way to ruin a place’s reputation that a lovely family has built. Everyone has their own business and we all face a bunch of rude comments whether they are from haters, competitors, enemies etc. and that’s because of the envy and jealousy...
