We've ordered several times & the quality has been consistently excellent. I really appreciate the variety of vegan & vegetarian options available. The vegetarian pasticchio is outstanding - easily a must-try. A true hidden gem in the West Island. Highly recommend for both takeout & catering!
Excellent restaurant!

La nourriture est d'une qualité exceptionnelle & toujours très fraîche. Chaque plat est savoureux & préparé avec soin. Je recommande vivement !
If you are looking for authentic Egyptian food, this is the place! The food tastes home made. Everybody was very kind & attentive. I haven't had molokhia in years, it was delicious, similar to how my mom used to make it. I will be back for some bamia! Thank you.
*** update oct 2025: om ali & hawashi were excellent today
On a commandé le kouchary, le molokhia (avec riz & poulet) & les hawawshis épicés. Quelle belle découverte culinaire!
Le kouchary, plat national de l'Égypte, est un mélange surprenant, mais harmonieux & addictif, de macaroni, de vermicelles, de riz, de lentilles & d'oignons frits dans une sauce tomate acidulée. Chaque bouchée donnait envie d'en prendre une autre!
Le molokhia est un ragoût de légumes très visqueux qui requiert une certaine période d'adaptation, mais c'est un vrai délice avec le fameux riz aux vermicelles égyptien. Le goût du molokhia rappelle un peu celui de la menthe.
Les hawawshis, pains farcis d'un mélange de boeuf & d'épices, étaient un vrai régal trempés dans leur sauce piquante.
Bref, on a tout aimé, & que dire du prix? Absolument imbattable pour des mets aussi uniques
Good food is more than just a meal-it's an experience. Fresh ingredients, balanced flavors, & beautiful presentation make every bite memorable. Whether simple or gourmet, the best dishes bring joy & connection to the table.

Hawawshi was top notch, fairly authentic & tastes pretty much like home 9/10 BRAVO
Betengan/eggplant 11/10, astonishing
Foul, needs some adjustments
Falafil, not bad, but can be much better
The owner & staff are very nice & friendly, definitely going back
