Giza Middle Eastern Food

Located in the Hecht Building in a space of many former fast casual concepts is a small shop that sells three kinds of wraps and bowls (chicken, beef/lamb, and falafel). For $11, I orders the falafel wrap. It comes in a large wrap and you pick your toppings. The spicy onion sauce they have is really good. My wrap was full of flavor but the falafel balls were a little dry. All in all, it was a great experience.

Basically a better, more authentic version of Cava with a friendlier owner across the street from the Ivy city strip with Other Half and axe throwing.My wife and I end up at Other Half every other month or so and love the beer, but there's hit and miss food options there. We used to get Della Barba Pizza when they were around the corner, but they moved to Capitol Hill. The last time, we tried out Giza.It's very similar to Cava in the sense that you get to pick your options to make a bowl of yummy middle eastern food. The difference is that the ingredients here are fresher and home made. The pickled onions, chicken shawarma, and everything else were good. They also had stuffed grape leaves that didn't disappoint. They didn't have the Egyptian special the day we came, but I'd like to come back to try it.

The Space:The space is definitely meant for a grab and go situation. There is some seating but not enough for a group larger than 2-4. However, if you do want to sit inside and eat that is entirely possible. The set up is more like a standard order at the front and wait situation. The Service:The owner is super nice and enthusiastic. He even gave me a free grape leaf to try! I think they are still figuring a few things out because it did take a bit for me to get my food. Maybe call in and order and pick it up if you have a large order. The Food/Drink:I got the special which is really filling! My favorite was the macaroni bechamel which is perfectly spiced and had tons of meat. I will definitely come back to try more things but I wasn't disappointed at all. They also have smoothies as well which is something I felt like Ivy City needed.

Great, high-quality food and several options for both meat eaters and vegetarians.The owner and staff are super kind and hospitable and ensure you have a great experience.Overall the location is great for a quick stop in or there's some inside and outside seating options to have your meal.My personal favorite item was the rice- great flavor and huge portions of everything. Highly recommend!

My friend and I happened to pass by this restaurant and decided to give it a go. We weren't disappointed. Lots of flavor and pretty decent service. The bowls are very filling! I will definitely return. (Pictured: beef and lamb bowl and falafel bowl)Vegan and vegetarian friendly.

I have been meaning to try this place after going to the gym for the past few weeks and it does not DISAPPOINT. Better than Cava, with such friendly staff. I went at 10pm and the man working the kitchen was so nice. For $12 you can't beat the amount of quality, healthy food! My new regular spot for sure.

My boyfriend works in the bike shop down the street from this place, and he and his coworkers have been stopping into Giza for lunch. I went by today and got an incredible chicken shawarma sandwich. There are tons of toppings and sauces you can pick from, and everything was super tasty and full or great spices. It's a pretty large sandwich (see picture), but I might just be able to finish it today because I'm hungry and it's so good. I also grabbed a Giza smoothie to bring to my partner, and of course I tried it first - yum! Can't wait to come back and try some of the Egyptian dishes, too.

What a delightful meal and experience of hospitality. They make everything from scratch to serve authentic and delicious food. We tried their chicken wings and chicken and lamb shawarma, and all were great. They have many sauces to complete your order. Besides their food, their kindness and service was amazing. Definitely recommend that you try it out!

Some of the best middle eastern food I've ever had. Get the grape leaves and the tahini!!!

wow great food for a take out orders, you must try, chicken shawarma with hibiscus tea is perfect
