One of the best Egyptian/arabic restaurants, the owner himself is greeting every guest, the staff are very helpful and quick service. It is suitable for families and couples. The amount of food is huge and the prices are very reasonable. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone specially small families.

Ordered and had the patience to wait an hour and received no food, while the tables around us who arrived later received theirs. Asked wait staff twice during that hour if our food would be arriving, and were told they would check, but received no follow up.

Maybe it’s a cultural thing, but I find it hard to go to dinner and part of the restaurants offering is shisha/hookah pipes for people to smoke, while others try and enjoy a meal. For this reason we chose to dine inside, which was a pity because it was such a beautiful Melbourne autumn evening, and outside dining would of been great. With current staffing issues in hospitality, I am a little lenient on the service times at the moment. The little staff that were on hand were as prompt as possible considering. Food was excellent. The only thing that would prevent me from coming again is the smoking, but that is a personal thing and not a reflection on the restaurant and their hospitality.

Doesn’t honour Open Table bookings - don’t bother booking through here - they don’t monitor it at all

What an amazing find!! The food was delicious, can't go wrong with the beef liver entree and charcoal grill for two. Our first taste of Egyptian food and will be back again. A huge shout out to Rehan, and the other two staff (their names escape me) that looked after us. They were all so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We will be back for more food and dessert!!!

Staff were so welcoming and helpful. Food was really delicious and the servings quite large. The banquet for 2 people could feed a family of 4.
