Street Cafe

Excellent cafe & co-share concept. This restaurant is open two days only, Tuesday and Thursday, for lunch, inside a local mini--donut shop who also remains open and sells coffee and warm donuts. Both businesses benefit. This Egyptian American mom and her daughter-servers set up a cloth tablecloth family setting and serve you their beloved dishes. They love to explain things and help you grow culturally. Everything I have is delicious, fairly priced, quick to come out and worth repeat visits. There is no comparison in Lakeland to this delightful cuisine. You are briefly transported to an international place by tastebuds & music for your lunch hour. I've enjoyed the chicken but they have a great reputation for their lamb, beef & vegetarian dishes as well. The best hummus I've ever had is offered as an appetizer while you wait.

I am giving them 5 stars even though we really didn't care for the cuisine. Different likes and dislikes for different people. We decided that Egyptian cuisine isn't for us. After talking to one of the servers she explained the 50/50 mix of beef and lamb in their selections that takes out some of the gamy taste that I associate with lamb, so I tried the beef and lamb Shawarma and my wife ordered the Shakshuka with chicken entree. We also tried the Mish with cucumber sandwiches.First off, our fault for not reading the descriptions thoroughly as my wife's dish was topped with sesame seeds which she does not tolerate very well. Still, she wasn't impressed with her selection, the spicy tomato sauce was too spicy for her liking. The pita bread used in the base was crunchy and added a different texture to the meal. We took the big majority of it home where I will try it tonight. My Shawarma was a little dry but had a good flavor, grilled to a perfect temperature to give the bread a nice crunch that was perfect. The cucumber, onion, tomato side salad was very fresh and the lemon vinaigrette went well with the salad. Also served with a pomegranate and tomato bulgar pilaf. Wasn't sure what I expected with this side dish but I wasn't expecting it to be served cold. Interesting taste but a bit on the bland side. The Mish with cucumber sandwiches were the hit of the meal. The cheese was very good with a salty sharpness with just a touch of something that added some heat. We both liked them.I wish the owners great success and judging by the lunch crowd they are off to a great start.

Street Cafe was such a great experience! The atmosphere is great, they have warmly arranged the donut shop into a cafe setting and the menu was well priced with a variety of options. Customer service was wonderful. The food was so delicious and well prepared, flavorful and unique options! We are so excited to see this charming local buisness grow! :)

Oh my, this little gem was AWESOME! The spicy lamb salad was so good, fresh hummus was outstanding and good place for authentic Egyptian food, the only thing I didn't get to enjoy was stuffed grape leaves. I would highly recommend make the time to grab your next lunch here.

We finally got a chance to try this restaurant today and it was so good. First, the food was so delicious. I got the beef and lamb shawarma and my wife got the chicken shakshuka. Both were so flavorful. Secondly, the service was special. More like a family atmosphere. We will definitely be back for more delicious food and would recommend trying this place.

Amazing food! Nice people and very authentic. Everything was very fresh. I can't wait for them to open up their hours. I hope to see them open their own place!

We were lucky enough to come out on opening day and this place is amazing. Lakeland just got another total gem. The atmosphere is super cute. Everyone working was so friendly and great. And the food was so amazing. I had never tried Egyptian food and this was so great. So flavorful and delicious and filling. Super great prices for some amazing food you gotta come out and try it!
