Awful Meal. Made a reservation October 21st after reading rave reviews. Pulling in to this restaurant the first impression was it was run down and unkempt. This was confirmed once inside the dark, drab, cold and uninviting interior. I had to keep my coat on with hands in pockets, except when trying to eat, the whole time. The place desperately needs refurbishment and heating.We were shown to a table in the bar area which only had back lighting from a hallway behind the bar. I sat on a booth like bench seat which became so uncomfortable I switched to a chair on the other side of the table. My back is now so bad I’ve had to take painkillers and alternate between heating pad and ice to my back.We ordered the octopus starter to share. It came out looking black in the dim light, speckled with uncooked bits of garlic, sprinkled on as an afterthought. The octopus was so charred the only taste was burnt.Then came our salads which we couldn’t eat. There was limp mixed lettuce, one small cherry tomato, one slice of green pepper, one piece of cucumber and a thin slice of radish. The vinegary house dressing rendered the salad inedible.Then came our main courses. There was far too much food for 2 and in the dim light both dishes looked like piles of mud. My husband had the lamb stew, which he didn’t like at all and normally he loves lamb in any form. I had the scallops in lobster sauce. The sauce looked and tasted like the glutinous brown gravy you can buy in jars at the store. It ruined the taste of the scallops, and vegetables, and there was enough rice for 4. Needless to say we did not take home doggie bags, the food would have made our dog sick.This was our first visit to this restaurant and it will be our last. I don’t understand all the great reviews especially the one on Google featured on their headline page!! This place is the opposite of a “hidden gem”!

Slow service but very nice people. The food can be a little dry sometimes too. But the women that owns the place is my old 1st grade teacher.
We have not been in NJ for four years. We are up from N C and plan to go to the Golden Pyramid tomorrow. It was the best restaurant that we went to. We can hardly wait for tomorrow.

The only regret I have when talking about Golden Pyramid is not discovering its Egyptian, Italian, and Mediterranean blend of heaven sooner. The cuisine breathes the experience of a chef who's honed his expertise over decades and pours his heart into every meal. Chef Mohammed cooks with a masterful attention to the finest detail; every dinner here is made to order.Tonight I started with his Greek lemon chicken soup. There's no question the powerful lemon zest asserts itself as the star of this soupy show. It's bolstered by a cast of appetizing ingredients that play a passive yet impactful role. It's lightness leaves room in your stomach for delights to come without broaching a feeling of levity. Every bite offers a new perspective in taste, its flavors taunt you to find them.I followed with the chicken curry as my entrée, selecting garlic mashed potaotes and saffron rice as sides.The garlic mashed potatoes are wonderful. They inspire a sense of nostalgic familiarity without being offensive in their originality. The handmade smoothness complements an intentional amount of texture so as not to become machined mush. As with all of Chef Muhammeds cusine, I find it difficult to stop myself from hastily devouring what's before me. Not doing so would prevent me from appreciating the lifetime of complexity he's created.Likewise, the saffron rice demands to be savored with patience. Those who dont risk missing the subtle entirety of an artisinally crafted spice blend. It pairs incredibly well with his sweet chicken curry, an entrée largely, regretfully unfamiliar to the American pallet.Chef Mohammeds culinary brilliance is on full display here. The natural heat that often accompanies curry is assuaged by the addition of coconut and raisens. It's not fully absent though. He's designed a dish that dances an ever so slight tinge of heat, perfectly moist tender chicken breast, and creamy sweetness into a flavorful ballet.I find it easy to describe every entrée here in similar light, they all embrace a unique gourmet vision. Golden Pyramid is both a treasure waiting to be discovered and one to be cherished by those who already have. Cindy and Chef Mohammed work tirelessly to provide Mays Landing with a local, authentic dining experience and it's a better place for it.

You can not beat the seafood combination broiled! It is amazing and the portion is very generous! We love the service and the food. If you have never been there you have to try it!!
Went last night with a friend. They were packed with 2 or 3 parties and short staffed, but the waitress was super nice and apologetic for the wait.Had the Egyptian Chicken, Shish Kabob, Coconut Basbousa, and Falafel. EVERYTHING was great. Had enough leftovers for another meal or two.Place is cozy and relaxing overall. Will definitely be a common place for some nights out. Thank you for a great time!
