Awesome food!!! Nice guys running the place!! Get the unsweetened iced tea. Also the beef shawarma rocked. Definitely primarily a takeout place but we sat and ate. Enjoy and be patient. Both the food and owners are authentic ❤️

We stopped here on our way back from the beach. The chicken shawarma and mixed grill tasted amazing and the owner was super nice and hospitable. He let us order even when they were about to close. Will definitely stop by again if we ever come back from Wisconsin :)

The owner was extremely nice and our dishes were delicious! We really enjoyed everything. The falafel dish was the best I have had in several years.

I got the koshary and my bf got the falafel burger. Both very nicely priced about 16 all together. There were two burgers and the koshary was enough to easily feed two people I'm not sure my picture does it justice. It left us full and the food was amazing. I highly recommend the koshary even if you are hesitant to try new things, I can see why it's the national dish. The place itself was clean and had outdoor seating. Definitely coming back if we can to try different foods. Best experience eating out in a while

Very pleasant experience. A bit pricey as all restaurants have increased since pandemic. There was one fellow running the place and he did an outstanding job.

Excellent and exactly what I was looking for. My friend and I, always on a search for good Mediterranean food, found this gem and decided to give it a try. So many items on their menu looked tasty so we ordered several different dishes to sample. Hands down my favorite was the koshary. I never would have looked twice at it but being that it is the national dish of Egypt we figured why not. The portion was huge! Make sure to add the two sauces that are given on the side and mix everything together with the sauce that is in the center of the plate. Mind-blowing.We also tried the babaganoush, hawawshi, chicken shawarma plate and falafel plate. Yes, for two people this was WAY too much food. We had plenty of leftovers. Everything was incredible! The falafel had a different flavor than I am used to so it was my least favorite but was cooked properly with lots of fresh herbs and a delicious sauce.Although full we finished off with tiramisu and baklava. We found it odd that this Italian staple was on an Egyptian menu but like another reviewer said, it was the best I've ever had and I would come back for the tiramisu alone! The baklava was also delicious with a lot less of the syrupy mess that you get at a lot of other establishments in our area.I highly recommend checking this place out. I will be back (probably tonight). To top it all off, the man and woman working their were kind and welcoming, made suggestions, and told us that the wait is a little longer here because the food is made fresh to order. I whole heartedly believe that and man is it worth the wait.

Small shop in a strip mall. The food was excellent. I had the mixed grill and it was filling and delicious. Other 2 people had chicken kabobs. All cooked perfectly and moist and tasty. Pretty good haul from south county, but worth the trip and we will go back soon.

The chicken shawarma was amazing! Will definitely be going back!

I order a lot from this restaurant through uber eats. The food used to be really good. I'm not sure what happened but the food quality has gone down a lot lately. We've been getting salads that have either frozen? or bad cucumber. Salads that are mostly onion over lettuce. Stuff like that. Fries are mushy, not crispy. It may be because of the pandemic, but it just seems like the quality has gone way downhill in recent months. An order on Uber eats ends up costing me around ~60$ and I'm at the point where it's just not worth it anymore after giving multiple second chances.

GREAT Middle Eastern food, which has been hard to find in Clearwater in the past. Everything is made fresh here and it's wonderful! My husband loves their souvlaki and I always get the shwarma. Both are delicious. My husband wants to try their mixed grill next time as another diner had it and it looked very tempting!If you've never had Middle Eastern food, this is a great place to start (except that you'll become spoiled very quickly!) And if you're already a fan, you won't be disappointed!?
