    Just went there 2 days ago. The line up was an hour long because the restaurant's capacity is 24 people. We were outside standing in the freezing rain. But if there was one place that deserved a long line this would be it. Do make sure you try "Noah's Pudding," "Cairo Classic" and "Honey Cardamom Latte"

    Bryce Arabs go crazy if you start eating traditional food the "American" way , you shall eat the traditional way . And so they would tell you how to eat it correctly and explain all the things that go throught it .

    As an Egyptian, I have to commend the creativity of this restaurant. They were able to keep the authentic ingredients and flavors of Egyptian cuisine while imagining new forms of the traditional dishes. I’d love to eat there some day. Also, I’m pretty sure the letters a in Maha are pronounced like the a in “man.”

    they think yes by the Copts who would eat it as a meat substitute during Lent and it made its way to the Levant. But the Syrians /Lebanese debate this. Molokhia and -bread are 100% Egyptian . Maqloube is definitely Palestinian. hummous, tabouleh, babaganoush, yebre (grapeleaves) , muhumera are definitely Syrian/Lebanese.
