“The food is great. The service is great, but they seem to just keep taking things away. The classics came with soup, salad and a meal. It was a tiny salad, they simply eliminated it. Why? The food , while the portions shrunk, is not as good as even 2 years ago, my assumption is new owners probably. It's “
“Very good little restaurant/take out. The food is healthy and delicious. It’s kind of a selfserve. There is no table service. The place is clean and comfortable. We always get s delicious meal there. Although I’m only tasting it 4/5 that doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong here. For me to give 5/5 a restaurant has to be simply outstanding.“
“Love the foodSpecially the chicken shawarma and i really loved the warm welcome of the guy named Kaif..My friends really enjoyed the food and the garlic sauce was too yumm must try thing.I truly recommend people to experience Let’s Hummus delicacy.“
“Our first time at Taste of Egypt's new location at East Point shopping center. We arrived on a Friday at 11:30 as lunch was starting.Exterior: New building shared with Taco Boyz. Parking lot is new with ample space for the seats in the restaurant.Entrace: The atmosphere throughout the restaurant has been appointed to provide an authentic Egyptian vibe with replicated egyptian artifacts and symbology throughout. The ceiling has black sheets draped to give a bit of a streets of Cairo vibe complete with regional musicService: During lunch, front of house duties and service were handled, attentively, by the same server. She made 3 rounds before our mains were even served and 6 or 7 rounds total. This shows me that staffing numbers are wisely managed to balance the business and the service.Food: For our appetizer, we selected what we thought could be the most authentic experience.We selected Arayes (GF+DF) for $14.00 (at the time of posting) it consists of grilled beef kofta, cooked in pita bread, served with our house garlic mayonnaise and hot sauce. Think of a thin hambuger with a pita bun, except this burger has a far deeper taste profile that you would expect from the region.My wife's lunch selection included a lentil soup appetizer. I expected plain bland lentil soup. Instead, we were greeted with a blended soup that had a layered and yet smooth taste and consistency that was delightful. Both were fun, had great taste, and had perfect texture. The meat in the Arayes was juicy, and the pita was soft.For our mains, again, I selected what I hoped to be the most authentic experience, and my wife selected a more fusion dish.I selected the "Key of life" as my main (GF) for $25.00, a plate of hummus, topped off with chicken shawarma. Served with garden salad and pita bread.I judge the passion for food creation and for the customer experience from the back of the house in the little details. I judge management based on little details as well. My plate hummus was shaped into a heart, the dressing for my house salad had an excellent taste balance and was a simple yet elegant mix of Olive oil, vinegar and Oregano. A restaurants management can manage one of two ways and I look at a salad at the start of the day to help me with this. Management can instruct the back of the house to save any remaining prepped fresh veg at the end of the previous day to be used up first at the start of the next day OR they can instruct the back of the house to ALWAYS use fresh. We were the second people in for dinner at restaurant opening, the other customers didnt get salad and my lettuce wad cut fresh. That is very important to me....the little details.My pita was moist and fresh and my hummus was excellent as was the chicken it came with.My wife selected the falafel burger with greek potatoes. It was the best falafel she ever had and the greek potatoes were on point.Her selection came with baklava for desert. We have had it at many of the Mediterranean themed restaurants in the area and this offering trumped all of their BAR NONE. It was flaky and fresh it had not been sitting for days it was presented fresh and crisp, from the base to the flakey top.One other thing that made me feel like the customer was put first: the tap water is filtered. There are not many restaurants in Saint John that add that detail.Facility: 10/10Authenticity: 9/10Food: 9/10Service: 10/10Overall: 9.5/10 I doubt you will find a better egyptian dining experience.Vegetarian options: ManyDietary restrictions: Gf, DF and a few others“
