We ordered Cairo Falafel through Uber Eats, and overall it was a really great experience! The platters were flavorful and filling, but the absolute standout for me was the grilled veggie pita with fresh hummus. I honestly haven’t had anything like it before — the vegetables were perfectly charred, the pita was soft and warm, and the hummus tied everything together so well. Just thinking about it now has my mouth watering.
The only downside was the falafel. While they had good flavor, the texture was a little too dry, and they didn’t have that “wow” factor I was hoping for. Given the name, I expected them to shine more, but they fell short compared to the other items we tried.
That said, the overall meal was delicious, and I’ll absolutely be ordering again. Cairo Falafel clearly does a lot of things right, and I’m already looking forward to having that veggie pita again soon!

Not authentic - The picture shows alot of food but the actual portion is so much smaller. Chicken shawarma tastes more like a mexican fajita, NOT a shawarma. The garlic sauce is more of a whipped butter than actual tuom. If I knew all of this I wouldnt have came here. Im sure they have other good stuff on the menu but this was a miss for me.
Ordered through Door Dash. Everything was well packed. However, I was missing a pita. I ordered extra 3 but received 2.
my husband had the chicken shwarma sandwich. he said it was good. I had the falafel dinner and the rice was OK. I don't have a complaint about that, but the falafel was very spongy and was lacking flavor. Dry. The pita was not the usual pita I can't even describe it. It was a little glutenous. It wasn't your typical pita and I really didn't care for that. I also ordered extra tahini sauce and that was lacking something. I'm not sure really what it was lacking, but it didn't have much flavor and I also ordered hummus which came with one pita and the hummus was missing something so I don't know if it was maybe not enough lemon or garlic, but it was very bland. The baklava was OK. It wasn't very moist and it just had an OK flavor.
This is just my experience and perhaps you like the flavor more than I but I probably won't be ordering from this restaurant again.
5/2025- was looking for a falafel place. On Door dash they are now Vegan Vibe Mediterranean. I said I was not going to order from Cairo again. Well I was fooled. Seems like they rebranded to Vegan Vibe. I ordered and wondered why these falafel were so familiar - dry. Now I know why. Samosas were greasy …. Shame.

Very good
Got three containers of white sauce all three tasted like nothing, the hot sauce taste like ketchup and the samosas are ONLY meat with no seasoning. The saving grace was the platter.
Best shawarma sandwich ever had and everything is super fresh no doubt I’ll keep eating from this restaurant

This place is delicious. You have to try the lamb gyro and absolutely MUST try the Mint lemonade. It’s light and invigorating!!! Geyry is fantastic, he’s kind and gentle and makes good suggestions on what to have.
