Al-Masri Egyptian Restaurant

Absolutely disappointed.Food was very mediocre and not even close to Arabic cuisine. Hummus was yucky. I’ve had better hummus even from a grocery store! The main course lacked any taste. The only saving grace was perhaps the coffee. Never ever going back again.

Went there last Friday with two friends. The place was empty except for one other person but the food still took a long time to come out and it wasn’t good. It didn’t look like anything was prepared fresh except the rice and there was a bitter taste to a lot of the food. When we got the check there was a 20% gratuity already on the check. When we asked the waitress why there was automatic gratuity added for a group of 3 when their menu said 18% for groups of 4 or more, she said it was a requirement from the city. I asked a friend that lives in SF and he said there is no such rule. It was a very disappointing experience.

I'm very glad we went to this charming Egyptian restaurant. The restaurant had a very unique blend of vibrant flavors and cozy ambiance, the live band and belly dancing performance was fantastic!

The host was very kind and helpful
We were passing by and wanted a small snack (not a meal)
Even though it was getting busy and they had a prix fixe dinner menu, the host still accommodated us
Their coffee was EXCELLENT!
They had live music and belly dancing - thank you for the show. We had a great time. I wish we could have stayed longer

I ordered koshry and it had nothing related with koshry from the taste, to the ingredients and too much rice and over cooked and no chick peas and even the sauce is just tomato purée with salt no taste at all and after i said i don’t like it, The chef was American white woman claiming she is Egyptian and she doing it perfectly and maybe my family doing it with another way and telling me why u don’t like it and even after i explain it to her she say i send the plate messy lol i told her thats how we eat koshry, you’re supposed to mix everything together so how come she doesn’t know the koshary dish is supposed to be eaten and claiming she doing it perfectly she was hella rude and aggressive while she was talking to me but the waitress was nice and friendly tbh. Horrible experience from the food and quality of service.

I'm glad we found this unique gem in SF. The restaurant had a very unique aesthetic unlike anywhere else in the city and the belly dancing performance was fantastic!

This was the worst meal I’ve eaten I San Francisco by a lot. Like shockingly so. The belly dancing was amazing. The chicken tasted like fish. The fish was cold. The vegetarian dish was literally potatoes and eggplant in like warm tomato sauce.

Go for the entertainment, not the food. The place is gorgeous, and the live band and belly dancers are amazing.We still cannot fathom the idea of the five falafels for $25 and the beyond-mediocre food (quantities and quality) for our high price.I ordered the grilled chicken kebab and grilled lamb (mixed grill) a very famous Egyptian dish and the chicken was either baked or boiled with almost zero to no seasoning.My husband is vegan and he ordered the eggplant dish with rice. The eggplant dish was “okay” the rice was beyond bland.I highly recommend that you go for the fun but not the food. I had a blast nonetheless.

The rice included with your dish is shaped like a pyramid. Great belly dancers. Food so good I scarfed it down in minutes. The service is nice and you feel like you’re stepping into Egypt. A gem of this city.
