Hummus and Pita Bread
This was a suggested restaurant from pictures that were spotted on someone's Facebook. After a little looking around and with no luck on seeing their website I had no choice but to rely solely on the reviews of fellow Yelpers.
A very casual restaurant with a homely feel. The walls were adorned with many Egyptian plates and statues and had very vivid tapestries draped along the walls. Their menu was angled downwards from the ceiling so you had to crane your neck as if you were sitting in the front row of the movie theater, an awkward angle for all heights. The first thing we ordered were two beef/lamb shawarmas which we later added a side of hummus and pita as well.
Lamb/Beef Shawarma
Prior to ever trying a shawarma, I have always been confused as to what the differences between a shawarma and a gyro were. A shawarma seems to resemble a burrito stuffed with extremely tender slow-cooked meats that you would typically find in your gyro, except it is rolled in a similar fashion to a burrito. The meat is also diced rather than laid down in strips as seen in many gyros I've had. On the topic of the meat in the shawarma. I found it difficult to actually distinguish the taste of the meat itself, as it was completely overwhelmed with the flavors from the rest of the ingredients inside (which is not entirely a bad thing).
The service was quick and humble, but the food is definitely good. We gazed at another dish being served to another table which looked very appetizing as well (we were unsure of the dish but I will take a picture of their menu next time).
I will definitely suggest coming here if you are craving for some great tasting Egyptian food. Don't expect a single shawarma and hummus to fill you up though. But it will curb your cravings.
