The atmosphere was great. Good service, nice decor, and old school 90s Arabic music. I was excited to try the koshary with halal lamb shawarma. But the food was very disappointing. The koshary was meh, and the lamb tasted musty. I ended up having to throw the food away.

My husband and I found this gem on Google, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations! The Koshary, Cairo Platter, Arabic coffee, and the delicious Basbousa were all 10/10—bursting with flavor and authenticity. We’re already excited to come back and try their sandwiches next! Our server was wonderful, and Mohammed and his family made us feel incredibly welcome with their warm hospitality. You have to try this place—wishing them all the success they truly deserve!

Absolutely amazing food! The service was phenomenal and we got our food in perfect time. Not too fast and definitely not too late. The shawarma and the chicken kebob were our favorites but everything was delicious. Oh yeah, the garlic sauce was out of this world and presentation of how it came out was somehow even better. Can’t wait to come back.

Do not order through DoorDash with them. I ordered Hawashi and received a platter of just fries no Hawashi how do you forget the sandwich part of the sandwich meal?? Make it make sense. Save your time and money do not come here.

The food is fresh and absolutely delicious. The meat is cooked to perfection. The mezza came with piping hot pita bread! We got the kofta kabab and shish kabob plate. I also got the Turkish coffee. Food and service was excellent! I highly recommend this Jem of a place.
