Al Azayem Restaurant offers a variety of Middle Eastern cuisine, including dishes such as baglla bil-beith, Basturma w-eggs, Eggplant Salad, Falafel, and Shawarma sandwiches. The food quality has been described as good, and the service has improved. However, some customers find the TV playing annoying songs to be a distraction. The restaurant has ample parking, but is not wheelchair accessible. Recent reviews mention that some meat dishes, like Pacha, are undercooked and lack seasoning, with salads and soups being better options. Customers have noted that the menu can be unclear, and service may require multiple calls to get attention. Despite these points, many find the food authentic and delicious, appreciating the simplicity of decor, the chef, and the servers. Favorites include dolma and kebab, along with creambsh, shawarma, and bakile. The lentil soup, Shorbet Addis, is highly recommended. Vegetarian options such as lentil soup, salads, and dips are available. There is plenty of parking at the back of the restaurant.
