"I was snowed in and craving some homemade egyptian food. Next thing you know I found this place. I couldn't believe it. Their Egyptian Hawawshy is so fresh and mouth wateringly delicious. This is normally Egyptian street food, but it's made in a different, unique and better way that feels more home made. The Hummus & Pita was freshly made and generous portions. I really cannot wait to try everything else on the menu. I'm so excited that there's a quality Egyptian restaurant here in New Haven (finally). I encourage everyone to try it. I'll be ordering from here regularly!"
"Amazing middle eastern food. The Egyptian Hawawshy is to die for. It's sorta becoming addictive. I decided to try the Baba Ganoush today. It was good, but I wouldn't necessarily call it fresh. However, it certainly wasn't bad. If there is only one criticism I have of this place--which can be easily improved--they need to bring their prices down. Their current prices are a little too high, and they won't be able to keep up with the competition in this economy. Unless of course they only have a short-term vision, and don't plan on staying open for long."

The sandwich was very good though, it was the chipotle chicken one (forgot name) I thought the fries were going to be a different kind based on the picture but they tasted like regular thick fries, which I'm not a fan of. The sandwich in itself was so good though, definitely recommend."

"I was given the wrong sandwich, I order the central Central Park East but received a sandwich of just salmon and egg. It was still delicious so I'm still giving five stars, and even though they were out of the pastry I ordered they gave me two apple turnovers instead. Still a delicious breakfast and my wife will love the turnover when she gets home from work. 😁"
