Egyptian Cafe Reviews
by Julie T.
Hookahs and tobaccos sub-par. Difficult to draw smoke and even the premium tobaccos are not worth noting. Ordered dolma, which was average, but the server realized AFTER I was finished he had forgotten to bring yogurt with it. Shawarma sandwich is pretty good. Fairly cheap. Overall not that great.

I love the atmosphere at the Egyptian; they are built in some kind of renovated garage and the garage door is often open during the evenings in the summer. This creates a delightful breeze and just a fun atmostphere in general. The service has always been pretty good, and the hookah is decent as long as you splurge for the Premium tobacco flavors. The food I tried was always decent, too -- I love the spicy feta dip (but beware, it IS pretty spicy)!

The service is just dismal. It ruins a trip to go smoke. The hookah is way below what I can do at home. It just does not have the flavor or the amount of smoke i've gotten from even 2 bucks a box tobacco. Teach your employees how to set up a hookah!! It's almost cheaper to buy a hookah and tobacco then to to smoke the good stuff here for about the same experiance. They do have nice hookahs(the actual waterpipe) for pretty good prices.

The service was slow, but the food is yummmmmmmmmmy. I don't smoke, but I do love to come here and have a hookah. My fav is the passion fruit mojito. Don't go if you are in a hurry. No one seems to be in a hurry here. Sit back, relax, have some sheesha. Mellow out! Seriously, the food is good, as is the hookah, but don't expect speedy anything.

The food was real good -- we all had rice bowls (paneer, lamb, chicken). The rice was super tasty, so was the curried veggies and meat. We got hot pita breads too. Good priceOn the downside, the place was filled with yelling El Salvador soccer fans and their American counter parts watching a soccer game between the two teams. The service was a bit slow.We did not smoke.
