I was lucky enough to stumble upon this place where I found the elegant mixture between western and oriental Egyptian vibes. Food is amazing with an adequate serve size. Warm atmosphere and welcoming by Mahmoud & Dr. Ashraf. All the best guys. Will come back again for sure.
Came with my girlfriend for a hookah on the patio, great service from Misha and the rest of the staff. Ice pipes are a perfect touch. Definitely coming back.
An unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable, 10 out of 10. The attention to detail, the kindness, and the care in every moment made us feel truly welcomed. The food was simply spectacular, and the cleanliness of the place was spotless. They made our evening a wonderful one, exceeding all our expectations. We will definitely be coming back soon. Highly recommended!
