Longer trading hours during VIVID means that you get to enjoy the Middle Eastern wonderland that is Bekya for longer!
If you’re looking to try a little bit of everything, I’d go for one of the boxes. You pick your protein, salad, rice and dip and can add homemade flat bread for an extra dollar. I loved loved loved the lemon and garlic chicken on Egyptian rice and muhammara. The muhammara looked a little intimidating to me but surprisingly wasn’t too spicy. The vegetarian box was full of flavour and I liked that even within the protein section of the box, there was a good variety of tid bits to enjoy. The fattoush was excellent!! The Egyptian falafel wrap was nice as well and had a sizeable cross-section. Easy to eat if you’re on the go. The Koshari, an Egyptian classic, was perfect. Visually appealing, tasty and textural. I would highly recommend this.

My thanks to Bekya and iD Collective for the invite.
One of the best options in the Gateway building, I usually go for the Chicken Shawarma (shredded chicken) with a side of rice and quinoa salad. I have also tried the Shishtawook (grilled chicken breast), but found that to be less filling.
Have also tried the chicken with garlic lemon sauce and the Lamb shawarma box, always appetising and very filling!
I have had takeaway work lunch from here a few times. My favourite item on the menu was the Laham Mishwee wrap (grilled lamb, slaw, pickles, baba ganoush, zaatar yoghurt). It was made to order including the fresh bread off the press. Considering it was a busy lunch time, I was served in a very reasonable amount of time and received my food with napkins and cutlery (where applicable). I find the prices affordable for a work lunch and you get a generous quantity.
I didn't enjoy the falafal wrap as much as I found it a bit dry. The box options are tasty as well but are quite filling with all the rice.
