This place is unassuming but absolutely wonderful, like a well-hidden secret. I was craving Egyptian food and this hit the spot. Grape leaves 10/10 Molokhia 10/10 Hashwawi 10/10 Mixed Meat Feteer 10/10 Molokhia and the feteer are definitely my favorites.

Amazing! My boyfriend and I come here consistently! Anything you get will be delicious and make you feel good after eating it! I love their chicken swarma and koshari bowl! The restaurant is so whimsical and service is like family (a genuine/kind family). Price of food is completely reasonable! So perfect spot if you ask me:)

I had the lamb chops and they were delicious! Rice was delicious, bread was delicious, restaurant was clean, staff was friendly. I'd DEFINITELY recommend.

First time here the food was delicious. I had the Koshari Bowl. "The national dish of Egypt" was so good and loved the hot sauce that came with it. My spouse has the 1/2 grilled chicken the flavor was amazing. It came with fresh hot bread, hummus, garlic sauce and a nice side salad. We will definitely be back. To try more of the menu. Thy also offer a 25% off happy hour Monday ~ Friday from 2 to 5pm.

The original Egyptian Kitchen is located in Westland, which I've been to before. It appears they opened up a location here in Garden City. Unlike the one in Westland, this one is an elegant sit-down restaurant where the other feels more like a takeout place. I can see some similarities with the menu items but I do believe there might be some dishes that are unique, although I could be wrong about that. I ordered two items on this day. The first was "molokhia", which in Lebanese culture is a leafy green that is stewed with chicken or beef and served with rice. The Egyptian version of this seems to be cut up more finely and has a smoother (as well as slimier) texture. This is served as a soup rather than a stew, but I really did enjoy the unique flavor. Although I will say without any kind of protein the texture can grow tiresome after awhile. They served it with this small and fluffy pita bread which I loved. My main dish was the "bamia", which literally means okra. It's a tomato based stew served with beef and okra; one that I also grew up eating. This version of it is more hearty than what I'm used to and therefore more satisfying. Some of the menu items are a bit overpriced, but if they taste nearly as good as what I had between my last two visits then it's worth it.

I've never tasted Egyptian food before and I finally got the opportunities on a beautiful summer evening. I've been wanting to try this restaurant since they were located in Westland. They've now relocated to Garden City, so not that much further away from the original location. Parking is in the back of the building, but don't worry, there's a door that'll lead you right to the restaurant. There's plenty of signage so you won't get lost. Once seated, we ended up ordering 2 appetizers and 3 authentic entrees. They were all different but very enjoyable. By appearance and taste, so much respect is placed behind each dish to keep them true to their roots. Customer service was absolutely amazing! He was so humble and willing to explain each dish to us and how the meals are prepared the Egyptian way. I'm really glad we had the opportunity to try a taste of Egypt.

What I love about Yelp is that it makes me aware of new restaurants I would never know about like this one. We arrived at 9:15 p.m. The waiter told us that the kitchen closes at 9:30 and the restaurant at 10. I said to him "Oh. I thought you closed later." We commenced to leave, but the waiter said "Please sit down. There is time." We sat down, and I glanced around the restaurant. You don't come for the atmosphere. You come for the food. We had the following : Koshari - A dish made up of pasta, lentils, chickpeas, onions, and rice. Kabab Halla - A type of beef stew that is topped with a layer of dough and oven cooked. Fatah Masria - Beef chucks on a bed of rice. Molokia - A soup made of molokia leaves and spices. It has a texture that okra gives. Turkish Coffee. We enjoyed the Kabab Halla and Fatah Masria. I would skip the Koshari. Nothing special about it. How did this dish become Egypt's national dish ? The Molokia soup is unique. It's worth a try. Would I go back. Yes. They have a large menu.

This review is for their moved location to Garden City (30112 Ford Road) - note that this location has closed. We had the Koshari Bowl, Mombar (rice stuffed sausages), and a beef and okra stew with pita from their Authentic menu. All super delicious and refreshing!! Generous portions as well!

Finally I had the chance to try Egyptian Kitchen with my Egyptologist sister. It helps to have someone along who knows what you should order. We ordered falafel to start, which she says is a special kind you find in Egypt - it's green in the middle. The falafel is served with hummus and fresh pita bread. It was a good appetizer. For entrees, we split orders of koshari (the Egyptian national dish), the Feteer chicken shawarma (which I've had before and liked), the macaroni with bechamel, and my nephew had chicken tenders and fries because he's a kid. Everything was great, my favorite is still the Feteer. And I must say my nephew's fries were surprisingly good and fresh. We also had a drink that had lemon juice and mint that was quite refreshing. For dessert, we had Umm Ali, which tasted like a soupier version of bread pudding, but was quite delicious. Most portions, and particularly the dessert, were big enough to split between multiple people. We had lots of leftovers. I recommend Egyptian Kitchen and love their new location in Garden City.
