Egyptian Kitchen

Amazing! My boyfriend and I come here consistently! Anything you get will be delicious and make you feel good after eating it! I love their chicken swarma and koshari bowl! The restaurant is so whimsical and service is like family (a genuine/kind family). Price of food is completely reasonable! So perfect spot if you ask me:)

I've never tasted Egyptian food before and I finally got the opportunities on a beautiful summer evening. I've been wanting to try this restaurant since they were located in Westland. They've now relocated to Garden City, so not that much further away from the original location. Parking is in the back of the building, but don't worry, there's a door that'll lead you right to the restaurant. There's plenty of signage so you won't get lost. Once seated, we ended up ordering 2 appetizers and 3 authentic entrees. They were all different but very enjoyable. By appearance and taste, so much respect is placed behind each dish to keep them true to their roots. Customer service was absolutely amazing! He was so humble and willing to explain each dish to us and how the meals are prepared the Egyptian way. I'm really glad we had the opportunity to try a taste of Egypt.

What I love about Yelp is that it makes me aware of new restaurants I would never know about like this one.We arrived at 9:15 p.m. The waiter told us that the kitchen closes at 9:30 and the restaurant at 10.I said to him "Oh. I thought you closed later."We commenced to leave, but the waiter said "Please sit down. There is time."We sat down, and I glanced around the restaurant. You don't come for the atmosphere. You come for the food. We had the following : Koshari - A dish made up of pasta, lentils, chickpeas, onions, and rice.Kabab Halla - A type of beef stew that is topped with a layer of dough and oven cooked.Fatah Masria - Beef chucks on a bed of rice.Molokia - A soup made of molokia leaves and spices. It has a texture that okra gives.Turkish Coffee.We enjoyed the Kabab Halla and Fatah Masria.I would skip the Koshari. Nothing special about it. How did this dish become Egypt's national dish ?The Molokia soup is unique. It's worth a try. Would I go back. Yes. They have a large menu.

This review is for their moved location to Garden City (30112 Ford Road) - note that this location has closed.We had the Koshari Bowl, Mombar (rice stuffed sausages), and a beef and okra stew with pita from their Authentic menu.All super delicious and refreshing!! Generous portions as well!

Finally I had the chance to try Egyptian Kitchen with my Egyptologist sister. It helps to have someone along who knows what you should order. We ordered falafel to start, which she says is a special kind you find in Egypt - it's green in the middle. The falafel is served with hummus and fresh pita bread. It was a good appetizer. For entrees, we split orders of koshari (the Egyptian national dish), the Feteer chicken shawarma (which I've had before and liked), the macaroni with bechamel, and my nephew had chicken tenders and fries because he's a kid. Everything was great, my favorite is still the Feteer. And I must say my nephew's fries were surprisingly good and fresh. We also had a drink that had lemon juice and mint that was quite refreshing. For dessert, we had Umm Ali, which tasted like a soupier version of bread pudding, but was quite delicious. Most portions, and particularly the dessert, were big enough to split between multiple people. We had lots of leftovers. I recommend Egyptian Kitchen and love their new location in Garden City.

I had the lamb chops and they were delicious! Rice was delicious, bread was delicious, restaurant was clean, staff was friendly. I'd DEFINITELY recommend.

The original Egyptian Kitchen is located in Westland, which I've been to before. It appears they opened up a location here in Garden City. Unlike the one in Westland, this one is an elegant sit-down restaurant where the other feels more like a takeout place. I can see some similarities with the menu items but I do believe there might be some dishes that are unique, although I could be wrong about that. I ordered two items on this day. The first was "molokhia", which in Lebanese culture is a leafy green that is stewed with chicken or beef and served with rice. The Egyptian version of this seems to be cut up more finely and has a smoother (as well as slimier) texture. This is served as a soup rather than a stew, but I really did enjoy the unique flavor. Although I will say without any kind of protein the texture can grow tiresome after awhile. They served it with this small and fluffy pita bread which I loved. My main dish was the "bamia", which literally means okra. It's a tomato based stew served with beef and okra; one that I also grew up eating. This version of it is more hearty than what I'm used to and therefore more satisfying. Some of the menu items are a bit overpriced, but if they taste nearly as good as what I had between my last two visits then it's worth it.

It's promoting as only Egyptian Restaurant a LIE . Cleopatra been open a dozen years, Egyptian owner and marvelous food. Really bad experience. All these reviews are fake. The Hummus and garlic are watered down -20/10. The mahshi is old and has a smell to it. The chicken is not clean and also has a smell. The molokhya is terrible, it's so watered down. I will never go there again. This place doesn't represent Egyptian food. First of all, I don't think the restaurant is Egyptian, I think the owner learned how to cook Egyptian dishes. The restaurant lacks authentic touch. I got heartburn when I ate here, and it's not really the best food. I see people commenting that the food ratio for the money is not really equivalent, yeah, and I approve this. It's a little bit expensive for the money. Fateer msheltat, and hawawshi, we're not the best. The hummus was a canned one. Mombar was microwaved. Umm ali was great, meshawi was great. The restaurant was leaking water, it was raining outside, the waiters were polite and quick. Decor was very basic.

I have to say, last night was a real disappointment. We moved to the area in November and were really looking forward to trying this restaurant. We looked on their website and noticed they had delivery; for once, it was not delivered through a third party. So we opted for their in-house delivery instead of a pickup since it wasn't too far from the house (10 min). To my surprise, the delivery estimate was 30 min! So after an hour and twenty minutes of waiting, I called the store to check. They seemed baffled, asked for my name, came back to the phone and said it would be 15-30 min longer. So we waited and then immediately started getting texts from Doordash. 30 minutes later, more than 2 hours after ordering our cold food arrived via doordash. I am guessing that they weren't paying attention to delivery vs. pickup on their ordering system and our order sat there after being prepared. I get it. Things happen. But it would have been nice if the mistake had been acknowledged and at the very least we received hot food after a 2-hour wait. It was a few minutes before 10 pm before it was delivered. On top of everything, the order was incomplete and the pudding spilt inside the bag. I will say what we did get was quite tasty, but definitely would have been much better if it had been hot and fresh. We really like the feteer and the umm ali (what was left of it), so we may try it again, but the first experience was quite awful. Hope it was a one time thing!

incredible chicken shawarma wraps. Great quick service. Would totally highly recommend to anyone!
