Amazing atmosphere, Maurna and his staff always take care of us. Saying the food is delicious is an understatement! Genuine food, hospitality, and service!

Great Egyptian restaurant with super authentic food and amazing vibes. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and well seasoned, and the place smelled incredible as soon as you walked in. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the food was easily some of the best I’ve had. Definitely coming back!

Ordered 3 items for pick up, got home and found the main item missing! How difficult it is to get a simple order right? Asked the lady behind the counter to give me hot sauce (happy to pay for it if needed), she said they are already included and added in the bag. Found no hot sauce in the bag when I got home. So, I lost money on a main item they didn't include/forgot, and got lied to about hot sauce being added in the bag. Now let's talk about Koshary, too much lentils, not enough daggah/red sauce. Never trying this place again and will tell my friends to not waste their time. Disappointed.

Wow! What a diverse menu. Dont sleep on this place, it’s a must try! They have all the comfort food from home. Everything was delicious, my favorites were the falafel and the hawawshi. Absolutely perfect!

The food was fresh and delicious. The ribeye steak was perfectly grilled, the hawawashi (meat pie) and koshary were amazing. Very authentic food and atmosphere. The owner was so kind and friendly, we will definitely be eating here next time were in town.

UPDATE: tried again same item, asked for extra sauce but didn't get any sauce at all, not even regular sauce but instead got ketchup. seriously ketchup with chicken schwarma. and wrap was still very dry, even chicken felt stale. Horrible culture awareness. Won't be back.
If you're in the Fatima Bazaar area and looking for a spot to eat, you should definitely check out Cario Grill.
First off, the vibe is surprisingly nice. They have a great lounge area to sit in—it’s actually comfortable and modern. You place your order using these neat screens inside, which is pretty slick. Just a quick heads up: you might run into a little bit of waiting time for your order, so don't go there absolutely starving if it looks busy!
Now for the food breakdown. Two things are absolutely stellar here: the falafel are really good (seriously, order them!) and their collection of good sauces is fantastic. They really elevate everything. I tried the chicken shawarma. The chicken filling itself was good, flavorful and well-spiced, but I'll be honest, the wrap exterior layer was a little on the dry side. It wasn't a dealbreaker because the sauces helped, but maybe ask for extra sauce if you get the wrap!
The takeaway: A solid, pleasant experience with great falafel and a cozy atmosphere. Go for the good fresh food and the lounge!

Huge selection of Egyptian dishes, we tried the schwarma and hawawshi. The flavor was incredible. Trying the different sauces was unreal. Overall amazing restaurant, it’s great to eat meat you know was taken care of well, and tastes so good. Outdoor lounge seating was the cherry on top. If you live in San Jose and you haven’t tried this place, you are missing out.

Fantastic service. The meat pie(dont remember its Egyptian name) was very, very good. Rice pudding was phenomenal, surprising to me given ive never been a particular fan. Its actually...very good. Father said its maybe the best he's had. Great atmosphere too. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. Honestly, loved the experience. Hope to be back in the future.
The restaurant has that small welcoming business feel to it that really draws you in. The food is made with love and care. I would recommend this to anyone looking for Egyptian food.
