I find it funny how people come in here expecting something different that what Ali doesn’t pretend to offer. If you walk in here and see what you see, why do you think it will magically be what you want it to be. This one was of the most magical evenings from the warm hearted Ali. A dinner we will never forget and those who come on here giving 0 stars and complain how Ali does his cooking shouldn’t have come in at all. If you know you know … thanks Ali for a lovely evening 🙏🏼🤌🏼✨
Chef Ali puts together an amazing dining experience. One filled with delicious foods and entertaining conversations stretching your meal for hours and hours. It’s nice to slow down once in a while and be enjoy being human.
This restaurant brings back the importance of having a chef interact with his customers, someone who really cares about who he’s about to serve. For the quality of food you get, the prices are worth it and the flavors are immaculate. My jaw literally dropped after the first taste of each plate he handed me and you can feel the essence of genuine love in every dish he curates for you. Go in and ask him to make you whatever he suggests, and you’ll understand what food is supposed to taste like.
Went to have dinner tonight and didn’t know what to expect. What a wonderful experience we had. The food was fabulous and Ali was so friendly and passionate about his menu. Would highly recommend but remember to bring cash only.
Probably my fave restaurant in the city, period. Chef Ali js the man, he will whip up some of the best food you’ve ever had in your life while engaging in funny and thoughtful conversation. Every time I go here there’s some other group here who say they’ve been coming for decades. I got engaged here. Its the best. I see some comments complaining about the service and cleanliness - those people are dumb and have no idea what they are talking about. They should stay in Manhattan where they belong. Kabab Cafe forever!
This place is a gem. It’s a very small place with enough seating for 10-15 people. The proprietor is an excellent gentleman who cooks everything from scratch and serves it. He is also very warm and friendly. The food is delicious, full of flavors, made from ingredients that are very fresh.
Overall the experience is very personal; very different from an usual “restaurant”.
The cuisine is specifically Alexandrian, and the name “kebab cafe” doesn’t do justice - this place has so much more than just kebabs.
One of the best dinners and evenings in my life. Ali greeted my boyfriend like a long lost brother and me the new girlfriend with a gigantic hug.
Don’t go expecting to eat asap. Ali takes his time, tells his tales, preps and cooks all by himself.
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!
Ali makes you feel so as if you're right in the comfort of your on home growing up again. Get ready to taste those great delicious spices in all the food, very traditional back home food. Thank you Ali, all the best friend.
Have you ever watched the movie "Jiro Dreams of Sushi", and wondered if you would ever come across one of those tiny restaurants that is owned and cooked by a man who has devoted his entire life and craft to his food and his culture?
To say this was one of the best meal ever is an understatement. With Ali, you traveled in time and space as he tells you the significance and approach to his culture and his life.
And remember. Don't call it Egyptian food. It's Alexandria food. And it's what heaven must taste like.
I never ate inside the facility I've been inside several times. Hence, I have ordered from them and let me tell you, extremely
