You will have to admit, you're getting a great mix of Egyptian and Greek flavors here. Deserves the lengthy review. I believe the owners are a family, in operation for about 2 years and you can really tell from their warm conversations that love goes into the food. The attention is not just a great service experience but a natural feeling of the intention they pour into what is hard work and quality food. Don’t know if it’s fair to say “service” or “atmosphere” or if it should just be called “the passion” expressing itself but you feel the hard work and enjoy the food more. The atmosphere was beyond any expectations as a result. Overall, the experience feels very genuine, making this my favorite place to eat in Edmonton right now. I am compelled by my first time here to highly recommend Pharaohs Restaurant—it’s a must-try.
The menu is small but well-chosen, all of what you would expect and want to eat in the genre of three cuisines, so everything is made just right. We ordered the platter for 2-3 people, but honestly, it’s enough for three. They did warn us and explained everything clearly, that you’ll want to save room for dessert. We were too full to enjoy dessert properly because each dish was so good—you’ll want to savor each one! Still, that just means you'll have to come back and try more and fit dessert. The Italian is woven in and fantastic! It’s a true fusion that stays true to its roots, without sacrificing authenticity. I’ve had good Greek food and homemade Egyptian dishes before, but I didn’t expect them to blend together so seamlessly. This is not Michelin Star but not your everyday home cooking either.
I know I have hyped it up and I clearly enjoyed it but it deserves this level of extended review even just for the next aspect I want to highlight. The cozy, authentic vibe is hard to find after the pandemic changed how many restaurants operate, but this one really stands out as what I only now innately remember was an excellent dine in experience pre-pandemic. Almost would not mind being stuck anymore on Gateway and Calgary Trail knowing I can just eat dinner here! The options in this part of town have not disappointed and many deserve a visit - but this one most of all.

You dont need to know My name
I may be Filipino but I am a sucker for any type of Mediterranean food.
Lemme start with the service. The gentleman who I presume is the owner, was very kind and offered some amazing service. Awesome conversation, and very honest gentleman!
That’s not even the best part. The food? Absolutely amazing. Rich in flavour and the portions left me full and happy. I had the Lambshank with rice and garlic sauce.
Haven’t had anything this good in the city before. Absolutely amazing.
Definitely bringing more of my friends and family here!

I love this restaurant!! The food is amazing, staff is helpful and so friendly, and the prices are great! I went once in 2024 and had the most lovely conversation with Katherine and her I think her daughter or niece. I just went again for lunch over a year later and Katherine remembered who I was and our conversation and it truly made my day! Thank you!! Can’t wait to come back:)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Pharaoh’s is a gem in Edmonton! This family-run restaurant serves amazing Egyptian and Greek food. We had the Chef’s Platter for 2–3 people, and it was outstanding—every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and perfectly cooked. The variety made it a true feast, with portions that were more than generous and perfect for sharing. Warm service and an overall excellent experience. Highly recommend!

Such a beautiful place and Katrina is a very nice lady
I love grape leafs and so we placed an order and it was made quickly and so we picked it up and it was actually hand crafted grape leafs not the pre-made stuff and it was delicious. This restaurant serves great authentic freshly made traditional food that is simply awesome. If you are from Egypt and craving Egyptian food, I can honestly say this is the best place in Edmonton by far.
