You have to see this tiny place to believe it. Meet Mo who is sometimes seen wearing a pharoah hat, chatting with regular customers, or cracking jokes. His menu alone is worth the trip. Hundreds of witty little comments & jokes. I hear Karaoke night is a blast, but I'm afraid my mind might not be able to expand that far. The food is always freshly made and great,cooked of course by Mo's sweet wife. Middle Eastern & Egyptian dishes mix in with meatloaf and pork chop plates.
When you first approach this tiny little place, you'll wonder if it's open or closed. It will most likely be open though, even on Sundays, park on the side. Once inside, Mo will slather you with his own brand of warmth and probably remember your name the next time you come in.
It's dark in there and kind of bizarre, like you've just landed on another planet. By the time you leave however your endorphines will somehow be percolating faster and you'll swear to come back often.
The prices are reasonable. Not dirt cheap, but definitly affordable. The salad Mo will urge you to order will be amazingly large and fresh. This a really fantastic place. I take all my out-of-town vistors there, just to bend their minds and fill their bellies.
