Al Masri

My friend wanted to come here for her birthday celebration, since she enjoys doing belly dancing. My friend made a reservation. We came when it opened at 5:30pm on a Saturday, and ended up staying the whole night. I tried Egyptian food for the first time. The menu had like 5 options for around $27-30 each. The food included complimentary hummus, pita bread, and an olive oil with spices dip. They also sell Turkish coffee, chocolate, and other flavor cookies. I tried the Turkish coffee cookie and baklava, $3 each. Both is yummy but I liked the baklava more. I ordered the chicken kabab plate and my friend ordered the fish plate, both comes with rice and salad. Service was really good, with one of the waitress also being one of the belly dancers at the end. There were 3 dancers that night and they danced throughout the evening. Be prepared for a long evening if you want to watch everything. My friend really enjoyed the audience participation and danced with others during certain segments. Very beautiful restaurant and decorations, even the bathrooms are decorated!

If you want to have " Egyptian experience "This is the place to be.The ambiance is very warm and relax, very happy place.. music and belly dancers. Food is amazingly delicious, dessert Baklava soo yummy best baklava that ever had.Everyone there is so nice and polite the chef and owner very pleasant person. Everyone there is nice and everyone knows each other lots of regulars .. .. live music! Outstanding!!Everything everyone there is so worth to visit over and over again.

We all need a little pick me up as we shelter in place and Al Masri delivers -- literally.Order directly from the restaurant to get the best deal on delectable Middle Eastern and Mediterranean dishes.The hubs and I loved the spinach stuffed spanikopita and basteela, a sweet and savory Moroccan delicacy filled with chicken inside a flaky phyllo crust. It was delivered fresh and hot and safely -- social distancing and mask protocol was on point. Wonderful business run by a phenomenal owner who really cares about the community. Treat yourself and keep an amazing local restaurant alive through this crisis!

Even 1 star is a lot for this place. These people call themselves Al Masri. But we ordered from a place named falafel fix and picked it up from this place "Al Masri" This restaurant is fraud. We ordered 3 items and we didn't receive half of the order. I'm not even talking about the taste. It's not even edible. Everything went to trash. We ordered Chicken gyro and received some chicken kabap, no chicken gyro. We ordered grill plate combination and received one beef and one chicken kebab and rice. No gyro no kafta kebap. We ordered veggie's platter We received some veggies and rice. No falafel no grape leaves. Shame on this business. With this quality they can't go far. (I hope pictures are explaining everything.)

21.11.20 First VisitPerformance ------------------ 5Decor ----------------------------- 4.5Food ------------------------------ 3.5 to 4 depending on itemService --------------------------- 5 single female wait staff! For all the tables occupied by several mid to large groups. She did a stellar job! It took longer due to short staffed (C19)! 30+ people!Fish - ok They were swamped within ... 15-25 minutes overwhelmed the kitchen. Therefore a raw review on this item.Hummus - pretty goodThe entertainment was fun.Fun to see customers getting into groove!Some are pretty damn good doing it.I have to revisit to finalize my food review ... Picture 20-30+ orders swamping the kitchen within 15-30 mins!They, especially the waitress, did a excellent job at taking order, bringing out food, and maintained her upbeat and humorous attitude

We happened to be around a night they were open, and it was a treat. Good food and excellent live music. The interior replicates a plaza or courtyard. There was a belly dancer. In general it was a fun experience.

Everything we needed and more! San Francisco is in lockdown and "Shelter in Place". And we are unable to visit the restaurants we love. Fortunately, Al Masri is open for business and also delivery! We arranged for our family dinner four hours early and at 7pm our dinner was delivered and it was delicious. We ordered 5 or 6 dishes. Everything from an Eggplant and spiced beef dish to Lamb Shank to baked Cilantro Chicken..... and salad too. Finishing off with my favorite Baklava in San Francisco. Actually, the best Baklava I've ever eaten. Support our local small businesses.

Food was good, but the ambience and welcoming feeling was amazing! A small group of people dancing together. I have never been to a restaurant that made me feel like we were friends!!!

Walked in here to grab dessert after a long day exploring SF. My friends and I were met with very unwelcoming staff. When we expressed our concern with how we were being treated the server threw her towel, walked away and said someone else can help you. We requested a manager and then ended up deciding to leave without purchasing anything or speaking to anyone. and while waiting for our uber outside for 10 minutes, the owner emerges asking us to calm down while we were minding our business on the sidewalk. When we told her about our experience she said "well it's a busy night' as though all busy businesses treat their patrons like unwelcome guests. to wrap it up she said "sorry you feel that way". can't expect much more from a woman appropriating a culture and running a lackluster business on her fetishized view of the middle east.

This restaurant has excellent food, service and music and dancing!I had the chicken kebab plate and they even had a nice vegan option for my wife. She often has a hard time finding good vegan food so it was really nice to have such a great choice of food available. The dish was a sort of tomato sauce mix vegetable plate with some nice rice and salad.She loved it!Food is delicious and made with care!The decoration of the restaurant is very nice; it really feels like you are in a proper Egyptian restaurant in Cairo.When we came there was also belly dancing and music (Arabic music?) which made the experience a definite 10/10Would highly recommend!
