Amazing place! Am here right now. Great first hookah experience, the chicken nachos are amazing, the bathrooms are not gendered which is wonderful. The service was impeccable, fast and everything's just perfect!

What a gem! I've walked past this place a million times. I recently found out they served food, so I decided to pop in today and try it out. The atmosphere was awesome. It was dark, but not dank, tastefully decorated in the middle east tradition, soft, chill music playing. I got to my table and there was a literal couch to chill on. I started with chicken schwarma over pesto hummus with pita chips. Fantastic! I wanted some kebab, but couldn't decide, so I got the sampler. The kafta was excellent, the chicken good, but the lamb was the star of the show. I don't know that I've ever had a better grilled meat. I will definitely be back, but I'm bringing friends and throwing down on a little bit of everything and a lot more of that lamb!

I’ve known about the Egyptian hookah spot for a while now. I went a few times to jump in quickly and meet friends and it always seemed very dark and not that exciting. , After trying the food for the first time a few weeks ago I can’t stop coming back! Everything I’ve ordered from here has been delicious. From the chicken wrap to the rice to pretty much everything on the menu comes out delicious. And the hookah is great also. This has become one of my new chill spots not just for food but also to work, and smoke some good hookah

The waiter we had last night was so sweet. I wish I would’ve caught his name. Food was different but pretty good.

The Egyptian is a nice place to visit but I wouldn’t recommend going every day. I was here for a conference and came two different days. I give them credit because the vibe is guys with headphones- zoned out on their laptops in flow state and hyper focus. Meaning, you stay for 5 or 6 hours and the server takes care of you. Between the two days I spent well over 100 and probably toasted some parts of my lungs - but there are far worse habits. I like the decor. The food is very good. The gyro pizza was probably the best thing I tried. The tea was excellent and the 12 pit has good value because it has about 5 or 6 cups. It pays for itself at the third cup. Thanks for the hospitality WiFi access is good.
