The owner of the shop showed me and personally picked out some of the best selling chips and snacks near the front counter after I was done ordering the main course.
I am a huge fan of trying different foods from different countries, both overseas and in America, so this spot was perfect for someone like me to try!

Hard to explain, fast food ethnic? Small place with 5 tables, some only seat 2.
Order at cash register and not see anyone until food is ready. Ah but the food! We had a mite pricey mixed grill that came with yellow rice, one pita and mix of chicken, lamb and beef fresh from the grill and a portion of tahini sauce. We also ordered an Egyptian salad, mix of red onion, tomato, bell pepper and parsley lightly dressed. Wonderful.
