Can’t Recommend Less

Honestly I don’t even know where to begin, our dining experience here was a mess from start to finish.

To begin, the server took our orders, left us for 20 minutes, then came back to ask us what we had ordered. 20 minutes waiting and they hadn’t even started making the food (mind you there were only 2 other occupied tables in the restaurant).

After confirming, the server comes out with my food about 30 minutes after we first sat down, and brings my partner the wrong dish (despite having reconfirmed it). Taking the dish back, he comes back to our table about 10 minutes later to confirm (for a second time) what my boyfriend had ordered, and points to the dish on the menu he had just accidentally brought us. After confirming AGAIN, 5 minutes or so pass and then another staff member comes out to confirm what we’d ordered, and he was STILL under the impression that it was the incorrect dish that we had ordered. After 4 times confirming that we’d ordered a sandwich and not the fatteh, my boyfriend finally got his food. At this point my food is ice cold from the ridiculously powerful AC in the restaurant.

To top it all off, they then tried to charge me for the incorrect dish instead of the correct one, which was half the price. I can honestly not remember a more lacklustre experience in a restaurant. It’s a complete breakdown in communication between the staff, the food is meh at best, and the atmosphere is incredibly tacky. I wouldn’t set foot in this restaurant again if I were paid to.

Koshary 🤤

Nice Egyptian place with koshary and all the staples at a reasonable price. The molokhia is so nice!

Pros: Koshary, Middle Eastern food done well

Cons: Not 100% vegan
