This place is fantastic and just what Pottstown needs more of! The food is delicious and homemade. The hummus is the best I have ever had. The falafel is wonderful. The service is fast and friendly. Finding this place made my day. It is a tiny little place with a relaxed environment. They have some tables for eating in or you can order for take out. I plan to become a regular. Highly recommend!

Nice old lady was the only person in this restaurant. She did it all . In the restaurant business, food storage and food safety is Paramount. The way food is stored and handling is unacceptable. The back door and front door was open with no screen on the doors . This created a atmosphere that was less than appetizing or clean.The old lady that was running around trying to get it all done probably can pull it off at her house, unfortunately as a restaurant it's an epic fail. The health department in any legitimate jurisdiction would close them down and offer suggestions on self correcting. A prep area in a restaurant should never serve as a chair .

We just at Cleopatras Cafe and it was fantastic! My wife and I ate here for a date and we got the falafel sandwich and the cleopatra special dish. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious. Highly recommend! Plus the owner is very sweet.

Great find in Pottstown, PA not too far off the highway! The soup was phenomenal and the presentation of my take out box was pure art! I've never had a take out meal look so beautiful! The flavor of the food is so delicious and I really enjoyed my salad as well and the price points are great! I do prefer my chicken to be more tender & I wasn't crazy about the texture of the hummus that came with the meal and in my opinion those two things can use improvement, though all else was perfection & I definitely will be stopping by again each time I pass through Pottstown. Over all, the food was very good and I totally recommend this place!

The food was really outstanding. The chef owner could not be nicer. But it's kind of dumpy. It was a really hot day and I don't believe they have air conditioning. The portions are large and the prices low. If this was anywhere close to where I live id eat here all the time. Went with a fried and had the Egyptian falafel. Real deal made with Fava beans. Totally great. Comes with Pita, fries, salad, fruit. Like $9. Also got the house special. $15 Grilled lamb, grilled chicken breast, Gyro meat, Salad , pita. Totally huge. Tremendous value.

This place is truly a gem--don't let the location in a strip mall off the main road deter you! Portions are quite generous--I have a huge appetite and always end up feeling almost grotesque by the end of attempting to polish off an order of food.It's truly delicious, quick and freshly made. The owner/chef is an absolute sweetheart. This is probably my go-to recommendation for Pottstown, since it's hard to find authentic middle eastern cuisine in general, and this is some of the best fare my Pennsylvania Dutch self has had. Keep an eye on their Facebook page! They post specials there that are UNBELIEVABLE. I just finished an order of Rice-Koftaah (beef ground with rice and other spices) that was so big they put it in two boxes, and this is what finally compelled me to write a review.Eat here. If you've never had middle eastern/Egyptian food, DEFINITELY eat here. It's some of the most comforting food around.

Cleopatra Cafe has the best falafel I've had in a long time! Service was quick, and the setting was very cozy. I felt like I went to a friend's house for lunch!

Wanted to try a new cuisine so I landed on this restaurant through the Yelp app. The menu had a variety of different foods. The Kufta was amazing and everything else we tried there was good too. Seems like you can't go wrong eating here. Also the baklava is divine, definitely recommend getting some when you go. The service is friendly too.

We wanted to try some Mediterranean food and was excited to find a place in Pottstown. It's in a little strip mall and looked like most of the businesses were no longer there. We gave it a chance and I am glad we did! Great food, wonderful owner and all around great experience, will definitely be back.

I've gotten a few meals from here, including the lamb gyro, kababs and Cleopatra's Special Dish, which is basically a sampling of everything. The food is delicious! Not only is the food good but the lady that owns and runs it is a sweetheart. I once ordered through GrubHub (never again) and they failed to deliver the entire order. I called the restaurant to verify it all went out and she said it did. I then called GH who refused to do anything about it. I'm only a few minutes from the restaurant and next thing I knew the woman herself brought me the hummus that GH didn't deliver. She made me a new one and brought it to my house!!! That is above and beyond!! I highly recommend the restaurant! Best hummus ever, by the way!
