Malek Egyptian Cuisine (Southeast Grand Avenue)

First of all, they were open late New Years Eve! I placed an order around 11:40 and it wS ready for pickup by 11:50. The entrance is a little confusing because they bring the order out to your car, some signage might be helpful? I thought they were closed because the door was locked. But everything was excellent and the staff were great. They even brought me a bottle of sparkling martinellis for the holiday while I was waiting

No restaurant so that was a little weird, but excellent food and good portions. Pretty pricey but it is quality ingredients. Definitely recommend!

This is not a restaurant. Pick up only. Researched for a new fun place for Friday night date night dinner, finally settled on this spot, and drove 30 mins to here to find a guy greet us in the parking lot to ask if we’re picking up an order and when we said no he then returned inside and locked the door. Not being one for complication or confrontation we debated knocking on the door vs going home. Finally did knock and were brusquely greeted. Told we had to order online. We did. I also asked why there were not any signs or instructions and was told it was because someone broke the door? Okay. Waited for food. After a while tired to find confirmation and or update for the order and couldn’t find anything but then the same guy came out with our food like magic. I said how do you know this is us. He said you’re the only one here. Okay. We drove home arguing the whole way. Date night over. I poured all three sauces on my dish and ate in bed with kitty and puppy at my feet. The food was delicious. I would order here again.

So... service and atmosphere : you can only order online. There is a door on the building that will open and the charming chef will pop out and hand you your order when it's ready. There is no 'inside', no desk, the atmosphere is what you bring - maybe your car? The food was delish . Ordered koshari- would skip the cheese next time and see if it's even better.
The crazy part: it's open til 4 am
4 am.
Work late and need a delicious gluten free snack? Malek has you covered.

I got the grand mac which was alright. Definitely not worth $26, how much I paid after getting the sauces everyone recommends and tip. It was the most mediocre Mac I’ve had at a restaurant. Also not a very big portion for the steep price. I still really want to try their national dish there tho! I love that they use high quality ingredients and that’s what drew me in, just wish the food tastes as high quality as the ingredients.

Get over people delivering food on bikes. You wasted so much of my time.

Amazingly delicious food! Pizza was unbelievably good and unique. Roman and his crew were so genuine and accommodating. The cheese pie was perfect for the kids and the jalepeno pineapple, mushroom sausage and even dessert pizza... All excellent. Will definitely be a new favorite on our list!

We were at a soccer party and had Alotta cater our food. Everything that came out for us to eat was amazing. Unique pizzas and traditional. All of them were worth trying.

Take out or delivery. Too 4am

There are very angry people working here who don't know how to serve people. I don't even know what to say next. There are no more words.

I have celiac disease, and it’s awesome to finally have somewhere safe for me to eat in Portland that’s open past 9:00pm, especially in the summer months when cooking at home gets hot.

Food is great and consistent, and the owner is very kind, always greeting me with a big smile. He’s the kind of business owner you want to support.
