Lovely little place we had dinner at the other night. The staff is awesome and the feel of this place is just unique which I am unable to explain in words. The ambience is amazing with brilliant staff but keep in mind they are usually busy so get there early. I definitely recommend this place to others.
As a fan of Middle Eastern food, this particular restaurant offers an authentic and fresh Egyptian food. I commend them for their light and crunchy shelled falafels as well as their great customer service. I recommend to try Maalouba, falafels, Mixed Meat plate & the Karkade �
Excellent food which was very flavourful. Tried the chicken rolls and falafel. Falafel was definitely one of the best Ive had in Sydney. There portions are well sized for the price. Overall, a great experience.
My rating is based on one food item only and that’s the lamb kofta pocket. It was delicious! Can’t wait to go back and try the other dishes 😋
Impressed by this little dinner! Great portions and really tasty. The cute little backyard won my puppy’s heart and the service was so good!
Indeed, everything tasted as good as it looked; the fattoush salad was freshly made with handfuls of crunchy pita chips, and the cold vegetable stew was a surprisingly hearty addition to the plate. The charcoal grill lamb kofta was my favourite – it was juicy and succulent, and tasted absolutely amazing wrapped in the pita bread with pickles, and a generous smear of the garlicky, aromatic toum. The chicken was a little on the dry side, but it still carried the rich smokiness from the open flames, and to my delight, came pre-coated in garlic sauce.
We were very thankful for the great meal. We liked the lamb köfte and the falafel at most. The Dessert was very tasteful aswell. We‘ll definitively come again.
Cairo is delicious, very Enmore/Newtown crowd but the food is why you’re here and the food is good. It’s not cheap for what it is but it’s fresh and flavourful and I always enjoy it. If you want more of an experience you can walk up to Stanbuli, but otherwise you’ll be well happy after a good feed here.
A very humble and small eatery that’s definitely worth checking out if you’re after something different. I recommend getting the meat platter and vegetarian platter so you can get a taste of everything.
Loved everything about CT ! A simple but very clever menu - takes care of everybody’s needs ! The falafels were as good as any you’d get anywhere in the world. Mustafa’s and his crew are most charming, polite and efficient. Today was an all vegetarian selection - Mixed Veg Plate, Koshari and Falafel. Next time soon it’s the meat that’s on offer !
I loved the simplicity of the open kitchen and sparse and stylish furniture. Back soon !!!

Although the falafel and other dishes are a slight variation to traditional middle eastern food, it’s still very good and brings back warm feelings of back home eating good home cooked meals. Staff are pretty efficient and pricing is good
I just happened to stumble across this spot whilst running some errands in the hood. I only got to try the hibiscus iced tea and cabbage rolls. I am looking forward to going back to try the falafels which everyone raves about! #egyptianfood #icedtea #casualdining
A lovely and unique experience! The presentation was aesthetically pleasing and the flavours were on point! Service was a tad busy so food took a little while to arrive. Understandable as the restaurant was very busy! Would visit again! Restaurants allow walk-ins so no need to make a booking prior. The cauliflower pocket is the same as the cauliflower in the Mixed Vegetarian Plate.

An Australian take on Egyptian food. Liked the service, the food options were great. The food doesn't taste very authentic, but they have a good take on it. Would go there again definitely. There is also a very cosy outdoor seating area at the back, great for good weather.
Food was delicious and tasted very authentic. Tastes like you are in the streets of Egypt. The food is cheap/reasonable and there are vegetarian options. The staff are great and the service is pretty quick. Place is fairly small but they do have some seating out the back
Amazing food!! Super fresh and excellent value. We had the meat platter, vegetarian, chilli chips and dip platter. 😋 cute courtyard at the back with heaters. Friendly staff and quick service.
A little corner shop near Enmore Theater. We came here for dinner before catching a show at Enmore Theater. We waited for about 10 mins for an outdoor seat (luckily we were a tad earlier). The table however was a bit flimsy and not a lot space if you order a few plates of food. We ordered 4 dishes to share - the meat platter, veg platter, hawawshi and chips. Love all the dishes. Flavourful and reasonable portion. Love the pickles that came with it. Overall experience was good. Would come back again to try other dishes.
Love this place, have been back as the food is delicious and generous portion sizes. Great place to take vegan friends. Menu has a wide selection. So far all that I've tried has been tasty. Will definitely revisit and bring more friends.
The atmosphere is also cool, interior decoration very rustic and relaxed.
A fully sick joint for a casual meal. Grab yourself a mixed platter, a hibiscus tea and a seat at the back (weather permitting)! Hella flavourful and food portions are generous so you will leave feeling satisfied.
Lovely staff and service.
Our fave local night out. A bit busy most days but great and quick thinking service, food is delicious, made with love and wholesome. Menu has seasonal changes so alwqys something new to look forward to
