This is my favorite restaurant in Thao Dien. I have eaten the Chicken Shawarma here at least 30 times! The chicken shawarma hummus and tabbouleh salad are also my favorites. Oh and I love the garlic sauce and pickles too! Consistent quality always brings me back. I’m really picky about chicken and I never find any tendon or other chewy parts in the Chicken Shawarma. The prices are really reasonable too, especially for the location.

Đánh Giá
Very good Egyptian/ Middle East Restaurant in Saigon. You’ll find flavors that are hard to find in Vietnam. The best of this restaurant is the river view in the last floor. However you’ll need to climb a lot of stairs.
It’s like I’m in the pyramid. The food is great. The lamb is to die for.
Absolutely fabulous! Yesterday lunch was my third visit. The food is delicious and have plenty of vegetarian options as well. But what stands out most is the service of the staff. After eating a dish called koshari in Luxor, Egypt last year December, I was excited to find this Egyptian restaurant in Thao Dien. I asked if this dish is on the menu, it wasn’t, as alternative she mentioned she will text me when koshari is available as a once in a while special. And indeed, two days ago I got a message from the team. Well done. Great service. And the dish? Almost as good as in Luxor. All three visits have nice, good food, great service and for sure I like to come back.
I know nearly nothing about Egyptian food, so don't take this review too seriously. The food is extremely good (in my humble opinion). The hummus goes really well with the pita bread and naan bread. The beef and chicken, though a little dry, marinated and cooked just right so it blend nicely with all the condiments. Overall it's a very easy to eat meal, which heavily leans toward the richness and fatiness of the food instead of just simple sweet/salty/spicy/sour taste. My only complain, is that the food take ages to arrived. My first dish took approximately 50 mins, so i guess you can't rush perfection. Also, i can hear cursing coming from the back of the house, so not a very pleasant thing to hear. In conclusion, if the service time is a little bit faster, it would be perfect.
