How we read reviews →Carlton's only Egyptian restaurant on Lygon Street, serving home-style tagines, charcoal grills and Om Ali.
A warm, gently lit family-run dining room with authentic Egyptian decor. calm and relaxed rather than loud, even when full.
A tabletop charcoal grill for the Charcoal Grill For Two, house-made tahini and aioli, and an owner who circles every table to check in personally.
Run by an Egyptian family with the owner's wife cooking, and repeatedly praised by Egyptian diners as tasting like true home cooking, down to dishes like koshari, molokhia and hawawshi.
Very reasonably priced for the portion sizes and quality, with the $79 banquet feeding a table generously.
