    I ordered koshry and it had nothing related with koshry from the taste, to the ingredients and too much rice and over cooked and no chick peas and even the sauce is just tomato puree with salt no taste at all and after i said i don’t like it, The chef was American white woman claiming she is Egyptian and she doing it perfectly and maybe my family doing it with another way and telling me why u don’t like it and even after i explain it to her she say i send the plate messy lol i told her thats how we eat koshry, you’re supposed to mix everything together so how come she doesn’t know the koshary dish is supposed to be eaten and claiming she doing it perfectly she was hella rude and aggressive while she was talking to me but the waitress was nice and friendly tbh. Horrible experience from the food and quality of service.

    It's buffet, every Sunday night from : pm, they have belly dance show and live music. The belly dancers are so amazing, they're so pretty and professional. I really like the live music from those musicians too! I like their rice, fish, chicken and dessert. Bob is really nice! Great service! The bathroom decoration is so nice too! Overall, great value. Highly recommended to come here to eat and entertained at adorable price.

    Go for the entertainment, not the food. The place is gorgeous, and the live band and belly dancers are amazing.We still cannot fathom the idea of the five falafels for and the beyond-mediocre food (quantities and quality) for our high price.I ordered the grilled chicken kebab and grilled lamb (mixed grill) a very famous Egyptian dish and the chicken was either baked or boiled with almost zero to no seasoning.My husband is vegan and he ordered the eggplant dish with rice. The eggplant dish was “okay” the rice was beyond bland.I highly recommend that you go for the fun but not the food. I had a blast nonetheless.
