Le Kahéra is described as a casual, welcoming spot with flavorful options from ful and shawarma bowls to vegan dishes, good coffee and desserts, and a friendly vibe; reviews praise staff, quick service, generous portions and a lively atmosphere, while some mention occasional bland dishes, a winter-only koshari, and a few price concerns on items like hawawshi, but the overall impression is that Le Kahéra is a reliable place for a tasty, quick bite or a coffee stop.
im egyptian & i came here expecting an authentic egyptian experience, given the name, kahera. i understand its a fusion concept but nothing about my visit made me feel like home. its more of a progressive style, so keep that in mind. the price for one howowshi sandwich was a bit outrageous, $14+tax. the taste wasnt bad but it definitely isnt worth that pricetag for only one sandwich & no sides. it was also disappointing that i went for their koshari & was told they only serve it in the winter, they should make that clear on socials/website. overall disappointed in my visit but every establishment has their audience
Belle ambiance, bonne musique & bon service. Les sourrires semblent francs & on nous accueille chaleureusement.
La viandes est bien assaisonnée & c'est goûteux. Plusieurs choix santé! On a choisi le bol shawarma & le shish poulet & c'était très bon. On regrette parfois de choisir des restos juste avec les'reviews' mais cette fois-ci, on n'a pas été déçu du tout.
Par contre, pour avoir assisté à la préparation d'une salade, une chose qui saute malheureusement aux yeux est l'omission de laver certains légumes avant de les utiliser dans les recettes. Ce n'est pas parce qu'ils sont emballés dans du plastique (concombres par exemple) qu'il ne faut pas les laver. Vous avez déjà des machines qui coupent certains légumes ultra rapidement pour vous alors pour le peu de temps que ça prend de rincer les légumes, c'est un investissement sur votre image aux yeux de vos précieux clients. Bref, on aimerait, si possible, éviter de manger les insecticides & herbicides qui nous rendent tous malades à petit feu.
Sinon à part ce petit bémol, c'est un 5 étoiles bien mérité.

Cute little Egyptian Cafe. The owners are amazing & so many choices of local beer & wine.
Food is excellent. Def need to pass by if you're in the area.
Ful pita was so flavourful & vegan! It was so good I ate mine & then half my friend's, who was too full (pun intended) to eat the rest of her's as they are so big boys!
I'm Egyptian, so my review is based on authenticity first,
The Ful: It has absolutely no relation to any authentic Egyptian Ful recipe, it was good, very good, but not Egyptian.
Beed (Eggs) Bastirma, too much western additions, 2.5/5
Hawawshi, very good, taste 4/5, authenticity: 3/5
Bread: Tiny, you'd need at least two. I was served a tiny piece of bread.
Overall experience was not bad, but I don't think I'll come back.
If you're not Egyptian though, you'll be very satisfied. Because you wouldn't tell the difference. 😅
Excellent repas ! Mon bol de riz au poulet était savoureux, bien assaisonné & plein de fraîcheur. Le sandwich est tout aussi délicieux. Service rapide & ambiance agréable. Je reviendrai sans hésiter !

Super endroit, nourriture délicieuse. 3 étoiles pcq a la base c'est un dépanneur & ça ferme hyper tôt... Vendredi 19h, dommage car il y a une belle sélection de cidres, vin & bière.
I was a bit excited when I found out about this place online & decided to go right away since I do miss Egyptian food but I got really disappointed from the way I was treated - totally unfriendly staff - maybe because I arrived 6:30 while they close by 7. If it is late, I don't mind getting told that the kitchen is closed like any restaurant & would walk away normally. But instead I got treated in a stressing way like that made me feel unwelcome & mistreated that got me disappointed a lot which made me decide to never visit this place again.
To be honest, the chef was friendly & nice person - the food I would give it 4/5.
Hope this kind of issues not to be repeated with other customers as this place has a good potential.
Note my order was a takeout.
The food was very tasty, only shakshuka could have some salt in it. I wish the owner install an AC as the place is filled with the smell of boiled oil & can be annoying for dine in.
