    Pick up only from a ghost kitchen (building with other restaurant for being picked up). Nothing like the restaurant seen in pictures which was disappointing. No physical staff to explain etiquette or answer any questions; order from digital menu. FYI, the Cauliflower Shawarma with spicy Tahini ($10.99) is out of this world!!! It's a must!! Very easy to love for anyone new to Egyptian food like me.

    Another amazing all vegan restaurant that I wholeheartedly endorse!!! I’d been wanting to try this place for a while as it comes highly recommended. I live across town from them, hence the delay. I can tell you it was worth the wait, and their food is: fresh, delicious, creative, gorgeous, and really satisfying. I cannot wait to go back, to try some more things here! We had the ‘Just a platter,’ the cauliflower shawarma, and then a delicious little dessert whose name is escaping me... it had toasted coconut, some delicious Creamy vegan sauce, and also some currants. The people here are so nice and the space is very cozy, happy, and clean.

    Got the cauliflower shawarma, apricot extravaganza, and finished with the halawa brownies. Food came out quickly, and was extremely flavorful and filling. Would highly recommend!

    If you're looking something different on the vegan side of dining, this is a great place to consider. We stopped by last night for dinner out of curiosity and were pleasantly surprised. We explored the menu and landed on the Cauliflower Shawarma (favorite) made with spicy tahini sauce, labna dressing, salata baladi and arugula. We also had the Taamia pita sandwich and Eygptian Fries, which are spiced with Egyptian doqqa. Dont laugh too hard but the house ketchup made from scratch was exquisite, we had to ask for more. All are pictured below. The place is fairly small so I imagine on a busy night you will need to take your food to go. We will definitely return to try other menu options.

    They have lemon drink that is a slush. It’s the most fresh beverage I’ve probably ever had in my life. I went there when they were closed and begged for three more of their green mint and lemon drinks. They actually went back inside and brought me out three more drinks. I am so happy with the customer service. The food is so delicious too. Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect place to eat if your a vegan. This is my new favorite place to eat.

    We got a wide assortment of everything since we hadn't been here before. The just a platter was incredible! So fresh and delicious. I'm not vegan (but was eating with one) and I didn't miss meat at all. It was that good. The fries (both kinds) were huge and delicious, and the red sauce that came with them was like ketchup on steroids. I wasn't a fan of the cauliflower sharwma, but I noticed everyone after me bought the spicy and I got the regular so that might have been the reason. Next time, I'm getting a whole serving of the babaganoush. It was fabulous.

    Best meal we’ve had in a while! SO freakin’ good. New cuisine to us and let me tell you, Egyptian Food is THE BEST. Fresh, hot, flavorful, served with a smile, conscientious dining, vegan “leather” couch, compostable optional straws, great vibe, cute place. Their selection of fries is cool/unique and they give you a lot. In fact, all portions were generous. The Konafa Cup dessert is out of this world! Just get to POTS - you WILL love it. This place TRIES (which, a lot of places just slop themselves out there and run with it), they’re humble, they care, and they ROCK it.

    1st time here. Cute little corner spot. Ordered an arugula salad. Some of the arugula was yellow and looked old. Cauliflower and hummus and pita bread were good. Will try again

    ONE OF THE BEST 100% VEGAN RESTAURANT IN VEGAS!! It’s really hard to find really good restaurants that are vegan friendly here, but today we have struck gold. Amazing food I’ll have to keep coming back for all my new favorite cravings. Loved our server and so heartwarming. I hope for the best <3

    In short, get off the strip and eat here. This is authentic Egyptian food served with love. AND it’s absolutely delicious. I’m not a vegan, but this is making me think twice about it. You won’t miss eating meat while you are diving into this food. Just do yourself a flavor and try it! 😉

    This place is located inside of Lucky Food Co it's no longer a stand alone restaurant. I wasn't able to make it when it was its own restaurant. I'd imagine it to be more personable. I got the cauliflower shawarma it was really good and flavorful. Although I ordered when I arrived it only took about 15 minutes to get the food. I'll be back to try more.

    I wish I took more photos, but my friend Coco and I were too excited to eat. I haven’t had food from here since I moved to downtown. I have had everything on the menu and it has never disappointed. I’m glad they are close to the arts district! It’s only a curb side pick up location, but its still soooo worth it. They do have some seats inside if you want to have a quick meal on your lunch break. We ordered the Egyptian Street food platter and the falafel samosas and has a picnic at the park. Highly recommend!!

    Loved this place.. All the dishes are vegan and I'm so glad we chose to go here.. It was something different but very refreshing and filling!

  • 5/5 Roxanne S. 3 years ago on Google • 56 reviews
    Today I visited @potslasvegas finally! Authentic Egyptian Vegan restaurant owned by an amazing woman chef who brought a taste of her culture to us. Seriously.. the food was amazing. I went all out and ordered even more than pictured because I don't get out much to restaurants during this whole pandemic scenario and this was a vegas bucketlist for me. I can't recommend this place enough. They do so much to give back to our community as well, they deserve our support in return ❤ not pictured we had tahini shake with coconut milk and hibiscus tea (🔥🔥🔥). Even if you're not vegan and you just like yummy authentic food, make a stop here because it's so worth it.

    Food is consistently incredible here. Me and my mom are not vegan but we still love coming here. Staff is always kind even when they are super busy. I love getting the Cauliflower Shwarma and the fries are 1000% worth getting. The sauce they give you for the fries is AMAZING, like a ketchup but a million times better and a secret recipe. Can't wait for them to expand to a larger location because this place is amazing.

    High price

  • 5/5 Gregory B. 3 years ago on Google
    Chef Iman's unique Egyptian spin on vegan food has been one of the most pleasant surprises in the Vegas area for me. The wraps are full of flavor and more than filling, and even the fries and lemon ketchup have flair!

  • 5/5 Katie E. 3 years ago on Google
    absolutely love POTs!!! my favorite dish is the cauliflower shawarma (and the fries), but we ordered platters and baklava as well. the owner is the sweetest and all the food is great. no alcohol btw!

  • 5/5 Bill H. 2 years ago on Google
    Vegan - Egyptian street food. Very pleasant and clean. The food is fantastic. I’ll be back often.

  • 5/5 pheinox w. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing place. THEY HAVE A EVERYTHING VEGANS LOVE. You must try the fries if your a fry lover. Overall if your are visiting or live in Las Vegas this is your go to place for ALL VEGANS !!

  • 5/5 Daniel E. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the closest restaurant to being fully healthy vegan food I've found so far compared to other vegan restaurants that is mainly composed of soy. Awesome food! 😁👍🏽

  • 5/5 MAY A. 2 years ago on Google
    Ive been craving koshari for a while and when I saw this I could not believe my eyes. Then i tried it and oh my god it brought back flavors from home and hit the spot.

  • 5/5 Justanother G. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious! Better visited as a snack or light lunch! Hummus is tasty, and their brownie dish is a Must Have!

  • 5/5 Tamil J. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the food here. My first try of Egyptian food. I think this is the only Egyptian joint in Vegas. Very healthy and expertly prepared food the Cauliflower Shawarma was our All time favorite. The fries were super good too

  • 5/5 Angie M. 2 years ago on Google
    Such tasty and flavorful food! Perfectly created and plated, and super kind and thoughtful service. I could eat nothing besides food from here for the rest of my life and die happy.

  • 5/5 Sharadhi R. 2 years ago on Google
    Hidden gem of Las Vegas. This was the first time I tried Egyptian cuisine and this place made me fall in love with it. Must try: Cauliflower shawarma

  • 5/5 Idunn The W. 2 years ago on Google
    100/100! Well I just ate here for the first time and I had to run here to leave a glowing review! This is the only place I've been able to find koshary outside of the middle east and it is on point - authentic as can be. If you close your eyes, you can almost imagine you're on the streets of Cairo! Absolutely delicious, full of flavor, crispy tasty onions and the delicious yellow sauce! Very filling, plenty enough to share or great for leftovers. I was lucky to sample the lentil soup and it's the best I've ever tasted, on a whole new level. I also tried the kinafa dessert which was just delicious! A sweet coconut twist on an old classic that's I'm going to have a real hard time saying no to when I come back to try the falafel, foul and cauliflower. ZAKKY KATEER!

  • 5/5 bex 3 years ago on Google
    Daaaang! This was so delicious. Ya know when you order things to go, you usually have to expect a lower level of quality due to the time from pan (or POT) to table? Well, not here. I was surprised at how the cauliflower was still crispy when I got it home. Everything was delicious. It's nice to have a vegan meal that isn't full of fake meats. This mighy be my favorite vegan spot in Vegas!! I cannot wait to come back and try that Tahini Shake.

  • 5/5 Dov B. 3 years ago on Google
    I hate giving this place 5 stars but they deserve it. This is a very small restaurant with only two tables but the food is delicious. I've been back three times already and will continue to frequent this hidden gem. Make sure that if you're not a fan of spicy to tell them because everything can be made spicy here. Great Egyptian cuisine.

  • 4/5 Opal H. 3 years ago on Google
    The only issue I had is they were on the phone when I was trying to order. Personal call not an order. She asked the other couple if it was their first time and didn't ask me anything. I just ordered. The food was hot and flavorful. I will try the other location for a better experience

  • 5/5 Matt R. 3 years ago on Google
    All vegan Egyptian, are you kidding me?! I was hyped and it fully lived up to my expectations. You might look at this menu and think you’ve eaten foods like hummus, falafel, baba ganoush; but you probably have not had it like this. Everything I tried was full of flavor from the falafel or pickled onion (!) samosas, to the warm fluffy pita and the Turkish coffee. I didn’t get to try the cauliflower shawarma but it looked incredible. Reminded me of Lebanese arnabit a little and it’s definitely what I want to try next. Plus the service is super friendly so if you are unsure what to get they will help you, so just go!

  • 5/5 Olivier B. 3 years ago on Google
    First time here. Did not disappoint. Very different food and very tasty. Fresh and appealing. Staff is friendly and explains things well. Will be back

  • 5/5 Viviana B. 3 years ago on Google
    A great experience and even though we didn’t get to dine in due to not realizing they were about to close, my friends and I got to enjoy it elsewhere. The takeout presentation was spot on and wasn’t messy like other places. I decided to share my thoughts on my order because I really did enjoy the tasty food shared at POTs Drink- Lemon Na’na Not too sweet and the right amount of zest and mint flavor. You won’t regret this flavorful drink Dessert- Halawa Brownies The ice cream was like something I’ve never had before and with the brownie it made me teary eye from how delicious it was (I am a dessert lover). My friends said I had a ratatouille strawberry and cheese moment envisioning and taking in the flavors within these two great pairing desserts. I must ask what is the ice cream made from? It was the creamiest ice cream I have had. Dish- Samosa A great pairing of spices and earthy taste creating a savory filling all wrapped within the warm pastry. The hummus and sauce that come with this dish give it the addition taste of umami. It is now my new favorite dish and I am glad I got the chance to try something new. Egyptian Fries- the added seasoning added more flavor making them not your everyday fries and the accompanying sauce was the right amount of sweet and tangy, also thank you to the owner again for the extra fries to share around with my two friends and for the delicious food that won’t be forgotten.

  • 5/5 Sherri C. 3 years ago on Google
    Pots is consistently GREAT food. My favorites - The Cauliflower Shwarma (sp?) Pita, Kanafa Cup, and either of the fries! Fast, friendly, fresh prepped food. Support this local female chef/owner!

  • 1/5 Zani Z. 3 years ago on Google
    I had high hopes for this place. The decor is nice and the restroom has a toilet with a bidet attachment. I ordered a cauliflower shawarma, Egyptian fries and the mint lemonade which was a total of $22. The restaurant is listed as a low priced eatery, which it is not. I went to a restaurant under the same category and got more food for less money. The fries are large and come with a small side of sauce that was gone after eating a few fries. An extra sauce is 50¢. The shawarma was just ok. I had to add salt and some of the spicy ketchup because it was lacking flavor and also had an unpalatable bitter taste. It was probably the spicy tahini sauce. The Egyptian fries also lacked salt. The flavors are a mix between Mediterranean and Indian food. Tastes like someone accidentally dropped a whole bottle of garam masala on the cauliflower shawarma. It was very bitter and the salt I added didn't do much to make it taste better. The best thing I had was the mint lemonade. Based on other reviews, it seems like today just wasn't a good day for POTs and I won't be coming back to see if the food tastes better on another day.
