Amazing experience! Fantastic service! And delicious food!! Honestly Saint John’s best kept restaurant secret. I wish I had know about it sooner!!!
Had a meal with friends at Taste of Egypt on Saturday. Wonderful service, friendly staff, super yummy food, very creamy hummus! Tried the shawarma poutine, yummy chicken gravy, lots of curds and nice thick home-cut fries. Tried the arayes with yummy kofta beef filling, lovely creamy garlic sauce, all breads were fluffy and soft. Wonderful experience, hibiscus tea was divine.
Nice atmosphere, great food, and even better service!

Taste of Egypt, located in the East Point shopping center, offers an authentic Egyptian dining experience. The exterior shares space with Taco Boyz, and the restaurant has a large parking lot for easy access.
Inside, the atmosphere transports guests to Egypt with decor featuring artifacts, Egyptian statues, and beautiful accents. The ceiling is draped with black sheets, creating a "streets of Cairo" vibe, complemented by regional music that adds to the inviting ambiance. The decor and ambiance are appreciated, making it a pleasant environment for diners.
The service is attentive and friendly, with staff often making multiple rounds to ensure guests are comfortable. Customers describe the staff as "absolute gems" and "very sweet and welcoming," providing excellent care. Some reviews mention that service can be a bit inconsistent, with a few staff members seeming a little distracted.
The menu includes a variety of Egyptian dishes. The Chicken Shawarma plate is highly praised for being juicy and tender, paired perfectly with garlic mayo. The Greek salad features fresh vegetables with a flavorful dressing and pickled turnip slices. French fries are homemade, crispy, and versatile with or without ketchup. The lentil soup is smooth and layered in flavor. The "Key of Life" dish, a plate of hummus topped with chicken shawarma, is a customer favorite. Vegetarian options and dietary restrictions are accommodated, with gluten and dairy free choices clearly marked and made with fresh, high-quality ingredients.
Dishes like shish tawook and schwarma are considered authentic and flavorful, with delicious dipping sauces like Dthooma garlic and Tahini. The tabouli is made with the perfect mix of bulghur wheat, parsley, and mint, and the fattoush salad is also highly recommended. Desserts such as baklava are offered, with many customers preferring the traditional version over chocolate syrup, noting the flaky, fresh quality of the baklava. The restaurant’s coffee is also appreciated.
Overall, Taste of Egypt provides a warm, authentic Egyptian experience with delicious dishes, good service, and a beautiful environment. Though a bit on the expensive side, many find it well worth the experience. It is a popular local spot, highly recommended for those seeking Egyptian cuisine.
