oh Hooka!!?? i didn't know i was going to time-travel 2000 miles away to Egypt  to a dimly lit (even in the daytime) smoke filled rooms, but i went in because i'd heard from a friend that they have the best burger in town, to this all the other restrs that uses Sam's Club cheap 1/2 lb burger, this one is Pretty good, having stopped smoking 7 months ago ( still counting it day by day), i didn't have the Hooka, but i want to, i liked the Egyptian fries but next time i'll ask them to double fry them, i would have liked the seasoned steak fries a little more crisper

I have no credibility in rating this spot because I rarely go to hookah joints. I am rating based on customer wait time, menu options and hospitality. I ordered the gyros, which were not bad nor good. The Egyptian tea is not what I dig, it is very tamarind tasting which I do not prefer. The beer selection is limited but the wine menu is quite vast. The location is quite pleasant for all the young peoples to go and hang out. As for the hookah,  I guess it is quality. The workers know what they're definitely doing and help out the newbies. Hope this helps! good eats and good smokes.

Stay away from grape leaves but everything else is good. Good value on hooka and as a first timer flavor of tobacco was nice and smooth

The food was excellent. yes it was pricy but the food was incredible. We also did the hookah, which was novel. Try their hummus dip!

Note: This review is only for the food, not the hookah.  Ate the chicken kabob for dinner.  It was dry.  Egyptian tea: gross! And not just regular gross, it was offensively gross.  I like most teas, but this one had awful before/during/aftertaste.  Seated quickly with really friendly service.  It was a hot spot for the young crowd.

Having been first for both The Egyptian and Khoury's, I now humbly declare myself Crown Princess of Hookah, Kingdom of Indianapolis. Yes! Check that off the Lifetime Goals List. I knew all that fawning in front of the mirror in tutu and tiara as a child would pay off someday. Oh, hell, who am I kidding--I still do that. No, really.Anyway, for daytime hookah adventures, this place definitely bests Khoury's. Their hookahs are cheaper and, arguably, more flavorful. They tend to employ young, cute and artsy waitresses, if you're into that. The ambiance is perhaps my favorite of any restaurant in town. It takes me right back to Istanbul--the dark wood furniture with intricate inlays, the star lamps, the willowy potted plants and the multitude of mirrors. I love it. The music could stand to be turned down a notch, but perhaps even saying that betrays my age. I'm old enough to appreciate a venue where I can actually hear my companions.Which brings me to my least favorite aspect of The Egyptian. If you are old enough to drink in public, do NOT venture into this place on a Friday or Saturday night. You will be knee-deep in underage college students looking for a place to show as much skin as possible and get mildly high (hookah does give you a slight tobacco buzz, after all). Even amongst that demographic, I would have guessed it'd draw a goth/pretentious/art victim kind of crowd. But no, it somehow functions as a vortex for bottle-blonde girls wearing those brightly colored, sweatshirt-fabric mini-skirts and jockish guys in ball caps rakishly turned to the side. If I wanted to go back to high school, I'd...well, I'd actually kill myself first. Any other time of the week, though, it's wonderful. I recommend a pot of tea and a large order of hummus with your hookah.
