👍👍 We were SO happy to find this place on College street in Toronto! Being so far from home and craving authentic Egyptian food - this place was a Godsend. They even have shisha- yes please! The host was very friendly and the food was scrumptious! Can't wait to go back!

👍 The beignets are exactly as advertised: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, delicious all around. They’re served hot and fresh by a very cheerful woman behind the counter.
