Egyptian restaurant

Lovely lunch here. Our waiters suggestions were spot on, with 3 of us sharing the dishes amongst us

It was so delicious! Will be coming back!! We had the yellow lentil soup, the tabouleh salad and foul mudammas! The sizes were very generous and so affordable with lots of extra pita bread. Highly recommend!

Was so looking forward to this experience. The owner and host was amazing and friendly so was the decor and atmosphere. I loved the Arabic music playing in the background, made me want to get up and dance. Sitting outside overlooking the water gave it a nice touch. The food portion was good and presentation amazing. Unfortunately the food was bland. A little disappointing for such normally tasty cuisine. I liked the watermelon cocktail. The hibiscus tea was very weak , couldn’t really taste it. I’d give it another try tho!!

Authentic and delicious Egyptian food... in Forster of all places!The entry stairway, adorned with Pharaonic statues and decorations, leads up to the dining room and a beautiful balcony with a stunning lakeside view.The koshari felt like an old and treasured family recipe - a little light on lentils this time, but otherwise perfect in ratio, texture and flavour. The fried onions were outstanding.Next time you're in town, support this excellent local business and try the vibrant, unforgettable cuisine of Egypt.

Heard about Breakfast Menu recently, this place is such a great find. Amazing customer service. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Perfect atmosphere to go with family and friends for a wide range of food. Maple Pancakes and Shakshuka were just brilliant, freshly made.Definitely will come back.

I had a very nice dining experience tonight to celebrate my birthday. The food was SO GOOD (Cairo King Grill & Lamb Shank Fattah & Om Ali), the atmosphere was so great, and the waitresses were especially friendly and lovely!Enjoyed everything tonight and thank you to Nini, the waitress, for serving our table.Everything was amazing and memorable.Will definitely be back!Thank you!

We went in for drinks. The staff was so sweet and very attentive. Their cocktails are worth trying. Recommend for a night out.

Great customer service , food was delish , entertaining was excellent, will come back again for a nice out

The dips and kebda iskandirani is another must-try - its homemade essence radiates through each bite, whisking you away to a traditional Egyptian kitchen.One of the stars of the dining experience is the warm and hospitable owner. His passion for his native cuisine is unmistakable and resonates in each meticulously crafted dish. With his jovial nature and personal touch, you feel more like an honored guest in a family home than a customer in a restaurant.The ambiance is pure magic. The subtle lighting, the warm hues of the walls adorned with Egyptian motifs, and the soft, traditional music playing in the background complete the enchanting Egyptian dining experience. It's like stepping through a portal right into a cosy dining room in Cairo.In conclusion, this Egyptian restaurant offers not just a meal, but an immersive and delectable journey through Egypt’s rich culinary heritage right in the heart of Melbourne. Its remarkable blend of homemade recipes, heartfelt service, and the charming Cairo-like ambiance make this spot a must-visit. This is more than just a restaurant - it's a home away from home for every lover of authentic Egyptian cuisine.

Loved the mixed plate and the veggie mix plate. The fried cauliflower is so good and the little lamb sausages have a great herby flavour. Those fries were excellent too. They're seasoned with some kind of umami salty flavouring.The courtyard is the best place to sit when there is some sun available. Such a lovely place to get some afternoon sun.
