This Egyptian restaurant is hidden away in the corner of a strip mall, and it turned out to be quite a find. I ordered the fava beans with pita bread, hummus sauce, baba ghanoush, house salad, lentil soup, mixed pickles, and grilled pepper. This was a vegan meal. The lentil soup was creamy and I could taste cumin. The hummus sauce was thin hummus with some delicious spice. The salad was cucumber, tomato, and red onion, and it didn't seem to be dressed. The pickles were giardiniera style with cauliflower, carrot, cucumber, and some spicy yellow peppers. The eggplant dip was tart and quite smoky. The beans themselves came separately in a bowl, and they were flavored with lemon juice, oil, and four different spices, though I wasn't told what they were. Some of the beans had been mashed, and they served as a sauce for the beans that had been left whole. The grilled pepper was peppery but not spicy. This meal was very inexpensive, but it was delectable and nutritious.
