Everything was prepared fresh in front of you. The owners were so kind and a pleasure to talk with. Absolutely amazing from the moment we walked in to the time we left. We will definitely be back! This place is a must try in Calgary!"

The staff were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole visit even more enjoyable. It felt like a warm and inviting place from the moment we walked in. We especially loved the kushari and the mumbar—both dishes were absolutely delicious and full of flavor. Their Hawawshi and Feteer were also very tasty. I’d definitely recommend giving this place a try if you’re in Calgary and craving something unique!"

May 16, 2026"First time in here, and I'm not super familiar with specifically Egyptian food but saw the raving reviews about the pitas being handmade, decided to try the hawashi and, man, lemme tell ya, the flavourful spices in this thing are crazy. I could smell it cooking across the waiting area despite multiple fans blowing the other direction. This thing is juicy, crispy, delicious. The dude working there was super nice and chatted for most of my stay, too. Shout outs all around great time!"
