I wish I could give more than 5 stars. I'm from Egypt, I moved here in 2016, so I can tell if some restaurant's food is authentic or not. Chef Mohamed's food wasn't just authentic, but it was absolutely appetizing and delicious, and much better than a lot of actual Egyptian restaurants in Egypt. It just blew me away! I tried the Egyptian Chicken dish; the grilled chicken breasts were perfectly cooked and seasoned. The rice, the Egyptian Lasagna, everything just tasted like home. The entire food was delicious, the prices were perfect, and the portions were huge! So if you're reading this and wondering if you should go or not, please do yourself a favor and try this place, once you go the first time, you know you'll visit again. Thank you for the very friendly and positive environment that you created, for the home feel, and overall for the great experience! We had a blast!

The food here is always excellent quality, fresh, and hot. We have a pretty diverse food palette and this is our favorite Egyptian cuisine. As you can see the portions are very generous. There is also a very pleasant and welcome atmosphere to dine in.

The only regret I have when talking about Golden Pyramid is not discovering its Egyptian, Italian, and Mediterranean blend of heaven sooner. The cuisine breathes the experience of a chef who's honed his expertise over decades and pours his heart into every meal. Chef Mohammed cooks with a masterful attention to the finest detail; every dinner here is made to order. Tonight I started with his Greek lemon chicken soup. There's no question the powerful lemon zest asserts itself as the star of this soupy show. It's bolstered by a cast of appetizing ingredients that play a passive yet impactful role. It's lightness leaves room in your stomach for delights to come without broaching a feeling of levity. Every bite offers a new perspective in taste, its flavors taunt you to find them. I followed with the chicken curry as my entrée, selecting garlic mashed potaotes and saffron rice as sides. The garlic mashed potatoes are wonderful. They inspire a sense of nostalgic familiarity without being offensive in their originality. The handmade smoothness complements an intentional amount of texture so as not to become machined mush. As with all of Chef Muhammeds cusine, I find it difficult to stop myself from hastily devouring what's before me. Not doing so would prevent me from appreciating the lifetime of complexity he's created. Likewise, the saffron rice demands to be savored with patience. Those who dont risk missing the subtle entirety of an artisinally crafted spice blend. It pairs incredibly well with his sweet chicken curry, an entrée largely, regretfully unfamiliar to the American pallet. Chef Mohammeds culinary brilliance is on full display here. The natural heat that often accompanies curry is assuaged by the addition of coconut and raisens. It's not fully absent though. He's designed a dish that dances an ever so slight tinge of heat, perfectly moist tender chicken breast, and creamy sweetness into a flavorful ballet. I find it easy to describe every entrée here in similar light, they all embrace a unique gourmet vision. Golden Pyramid is both a treasure waiting to be discovered and one to be cherished by those who already have. Cindy and Chef Mohammed work tirelessly to provide Mays Landing with a local, authentic dining experience and it's a better place for it.

Great food, large menu selection and even better appetizers!! So much food that I took almost half of it home. Friendly waitress, my favorite glass of wine. Amazing food and night out with friends

Awful Meal. Made a reservation October 21st after reading rave reviews. Pulling in to this restaurant the first impression was it was run down and unkempt. This was confirmed once inside the dark, drab, cold and uninviting interior. I had to keep my coat on with hands in pockets, except when trying to eat, the whole time. The place desperately needs refurbishment and heating. We were shown to a table in the bar area which only had back lighting from a hallway behind the bar. I sat on a booth like bench seat which became so uncomfortable I switched to a chair on the other side of the table. My back is now so bad I’ve had to take painkillers and alternate between heating pad and ice to my back. We ordered the octopus starter to share. It came out looking black in the dim light, speckled with uncooked bits of garlic, sprinkled on as an afterthought. The octopus was so charred the only taste was burnt. Then came our salads which we couldn’t eat. There was limp mixed lettuce, one small cherry tomato, one slice of green pepper, one piece of cucumber and a thin slice of radish. The vinegary house dressing rendered the salad inedible. Then came our main courses. There was far too much food for 2 and in the dim light both dishes looked like piles of mud. My husband had the lamb stew, which he didn’t like at all and normally he loves lamb in any form. I had the scallops in lobster sauce. The sauce looked and tasted like the glutinous brown gravy you can buy in jars at the store. It ruined the taste of the scallops, and vegetables, and there was enough rice for 4. Needless to say we did not take home doggie bags, the food would have made our dog sick. This was our first visit to this restaurant and it will be our last. I don’t understand all the great reviews especially the one on Google featured on their headline page!! This place is the opposite of a “hidden gem”!

To say the food was deliciously impeccable is an understatement! I have been wanting to try Golden Pyramid since it was in its old location, but life happens. So thrilled to finally have eaten (stuffed myself) there! Chef Mo really packs a punch when it comes to making top-notch, fresh, healthy, gourmet food! Our server, Joseph was wonderful, kind, and very knowledgeable. I had the Seafood Platter Special which included stuffed flounder, blackened salmon, shrimp, and the most delicious scallops I’ve ever eaten. Garlic mashed potatoes and veggies as the side, and the meal started off with a complimentary trio of Mediterranean dips and pita, followed by an appetizer of falafel, and amazing crab bisque. We left with so many leftovers as the portions are more than any one human can handle in a sitting, which is amazing. 1000% would recommend eating here to everyone.

The food is always amazing! My scallops and flounder stuffed with crabmeat were so delicious! The chef always delivers fantastic food! We love the entire staff because they treat everyone like family.

AMAZING CUISINE, EVERY TIME! I LOVE the Egyptian Flounder and my husband alway orders the Paella and we ALWAYS go home happy and with left overs (the portions are ridiculously generous!) This is our FAVORITE place to go. The Golden Pyramid gives quality AND quantity. Do yourself a favor and GO! (Save a seat for us!) 💕

First experience at the Golden Pyramid! First was the appetizers, the octopus was amazing! I could have drank the oil that it was in right from the plate. And the stuffed mushrooms were great. Very generous crab and the saffron sauce was tasty. We had the lamb and the paella. Both dishes were generous and very tasty! The lamb was cooked perfectly. Our waiter Joe was exceptional! He was very helpful and passionate and the food and was excited that it was our first time there. We will be going back very soon and can see us being regulars! Great experience

Went last night with a friend. They were packed with 2 or 3 parties and short staffed, but the waitress was super nice and apologetic for the wait. Had the Egyptian Chicken, Shish Kabob, Coconut Basbousa, and Falafel. EVERYTHING was great. Had enough leftovers for another meal or two. Place is cozy and relaxing overall. Will definitely be a common place for some nights out. Thank you for a great time!
