This is place is visited by my roommates and I on a weekly basis. Prices are quite affordable and they have an amazing selection of hookah and appetizers/sandwiches. I will say their dessert selection is not too great and there is poor ventilation on the weekends when it tends to get crowded. Otherwise, this place is a great place to enjoy some apps and relax over some shisha. The Rose Paan and Blue Mist hookah are my personal favorites.
Aside from it being kind of difficult to find if you’ve never been here before (walk into the building with the door reads 2881 next to the McDonald’s and go up the staircase). The hookah was good, they had games (backgammon), and the food was authentic (they had kebda iskanderani! (Alexandrian liver)). Service was great too!
You want to get a feel of our average Egyptian coffee shop is like, then that is the spot. Good Egyptian hot and cold drinks selection. The have huge hookah selection. They also offer some Egyptian dishes such as middle eastern sausage or liver. I have seen they have koshari and some other grilled options. The staff is friendly and helpful so feel free to make them happy too and tip generously.
