This is my fourth time ordering from here, and the food has been great each time! After having such a horrific experience at another restaurant nearby (Papa Fattoush) I will always come to this restaurant from now on. My total runs about $50 give or take for me, my husband, and son.Needless to say each time we never have any food left over. Food is excellent, and service is even better. ?
Little Cairo has a nice atmosphere. Hole in the wall but also upscale enough to be welcoming in the area. A little confusing to be seat. You just walk in and sit down but that is not clear. The waiter was pleasant and helpful. The menu was limited but had all the basics to have a good Egyptian Mediterranean meal.A lot of inconsistency in the food we ordered. The lentil soup was amazing as well as the spanakopita. Salad with everything was fairly basic but average greek salad. Beef and Chicken Kababs were well flavored but very dry depending on which plate you picked from. The lamb was dry all around and bland. Rice was good. The Taziki sauce was not good at which was disappointing. Grape leaves are an acquired taste and these ones were no acceptation. Not my favorite Grape leaves but traditionally to the more Egyptian style of food.Overall its a good authentic restaurant but would benefit from some quality control.Dietary restrictions: We asked for gluten free and most of what is available is gluten free. Vegetarian food is common in Mediterranean food. Dairy free would be fairly easy too.Parking: Definitely park in the free parking garages rather than the paid street parking.Kid-friendliness: There are kid friendly foods and portions.Wheelchair accessibility: There is wheelchair accessibility. Small area so a bit tight but you could do it.

If you are familiar with my scoring then you won’t be hungry.My first visit to this spot was on a cold day a few months ago. I had the best hummus in the Midwest to date as my favorite hummus was actually in Santo Domingo- I’m digressing. Upon return this was not the experience I had in that cold day 2022 December in Carmel.I added the other pictures as my experience limits me to describing the hummus as previously having relish - but I am not sure what it is.So basically the menu holds another name therefore the assumption is that it is the same spot but different owners.The falafel is okay as the texture is great however the flavor does not send waves through my taste buds.The boys had lamb over cooked and chicken dry. The rice had a nice flavor however I was already fired up about the hummus I really couldn’t see a differentiating flavor that would urge a return visit.You won’t be hungry when you leave short of a party in your mouth friends.

The staff was cheerful and knowledgeable. The food was authentic and abundantly large portions.Vegetarian options: Multiple offerings that are vegetarian. Feta cheese and olives are sooo flavorful, who needs meat?Parking: Lots of parking in the free garage that is 1 street west and 1/2 street north of the restaurant

We went for dinner on a Thursday evening. They are located on Main Street in Carmel. There is parking on the street, but if no spaces are available, there is a free parking garage just a 1/2 block west of the restaurant on the right. For your enjoyment they have seating outside in front of the restaurant. We both ordered the regular gyro with a Greek salad. The Greek salad was excellent with very fresh ingredients. The gyros were outstanding and were only able to eat 1/2 of our meal. We both agreed this was now our favorite Greek restaurant in town.
