Soo many options to have middle eastern breakfast and decided to do Egyptian again because it's next to Kunafa's (next stop, lol) . Service was amazing, the owner was super nice. We went for fateer pizza...meat and cheese and hawashi (yes, diet starts Monday!!) Food was sooo fresh and tastefu and kabeeeer. Super happy we stopped by!

This place is amazing! The moment we walked in, it just felt so warm and welcoming, like we were visiting family. If you are craving real authentic Egyptian food, you must try it. The owner is the kindest person, he is so friendly and attentive

We tried Koshary, bechemal pasta with ground beef and mixed grill plate with beef and chicken. The Koshary and Bechamel Pasta was amazing. Extremely unique flavors. Mixed grill plate was like any other Kabab place. Everything is made to order and fresh. The service was phenomenal. Owner/chef Amrou guides you through the menu and explains his dishes before you order them. You can tell he cooks with passion and love. We will definitely go back. They have some other items that we look forward to try like their traditional Egyptian breakfast, falafel, etc.

Probably one of the bestest hidden gems that must be discovered being surrounded by food haven. I must say it exceeded my expectations 👍🏻 I started with eggplant mousakka and it was delicious with extremely harmonious flavour. No tanginess or sourness. Just perfect. The Macaroni Béchamel was rich & creamy with very tasteful beef. The Hawaoshi is definitely a must, very authentic! We got to try their newest addition their charcoal grilled kababs. The Mix Kabab platter had everything for a complete meal shareable with family. The beef Kafta and lamb cubes very melting in the mouth. So were chicken Kafta & Shish Tawouk. Infused with flavours and grilled on charcoal they’re supremely delish. The drinks are also very refreshing 😋👍🏻 You can tell how fresh the food is from the moment you take your first bite. Everything served here is Uber fresh & tasteful. Do check out this amazing Egyptian restaurant with the most authentic Egyptian food Highly recommended! 👌🏻

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Al Kabeer Awi, an Egyptian restaurant, and I was thoroughly impressed! The food was absolutely delicious and authentic. The flavors were bold and vibrant, and every dish I tried was bursting with fresh ingredients. The customer service was also excellent. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were happy to answer any questions I had and helped me choose dishes that I would enjoy. Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Al Kabeer Awi and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Egyptian meal. The combination of outstanding food and friendly service makes it a true gem.

I had a delightful experience at this restaurant this afternoon. The convenient location and ample parking set the tone for a positive visit. The restaurant's cleanliness and well-organized menu made it easy to explore a variety of traditional Egyptian dishes, which were promptly served. The food, including سجق, كبده, حواوشي, and cairo royal beef, exceeded my expectations in taste and quality. Upon the chef's recommendation, I tried حلاوة بالقشطة, and it was truly exceptional. The freshly baked "فينو" bread added another layer of freshness to the meal. The staff were not only efficient but also friendly and welcoming. The clean and comfortable washroom facilities were an added plus. I wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant to anyone in search of delicious and authentic Egyptian dishes. A big thank you to the entire team for providing such a memorable dining experience!

The owner is nice but we came here specifically for Egyptian food only to find out that most of it has been discontinued and removed from the menu only to be replaced with a kebab menu (suspiciously after the allepo kebab across from them got locked out). I can understand adding kebab to the menu but to remove almost all the Egyptian food (except for a few classics) is like going to a Chinese restaurant and being told they stopped service rice and Chinese food and now concentrate on English breakfast sandwiches. Very disappointing as it was nice to have found a place that (was supposed to) served Egyptian cusian as its not common.

Another visit to this restaurant and yet food has the same delicious taste like before along with their excellent customer service. Ive been to Alkabeer few times since they opened earlier this year and am really happy to have this outstanding Egyptian restaurant in Lawrence area. I tried many menu items and they have been all cooked with perfection, authentic touch as well as amazing taste - to name a few , I tried Chicken Lovers, Hawawshi, Falafel, Fava beans, Kebda, Scrambled Eggs With Basterma. Super friendly service. Great job guys and see you soon.

I ordered online via Uber Eats, half a chicken which wasn t well cooked with red inside and bad taste, the meat Feteer was barely average and it s not an authentic Egyptian Meat Feteer, it s just average Normal Feteer dough with pizza topping and not even that good, the only thing which was a bit good is the Bashamel pasta. Really awful experience unfortunately.

November 23, 2024

Cheap ingredients. We ordered nutella feteer and we had a chocolate syrup instead. Om Ali isn t authentic and didn t taste good either.

This place is a hidden gem! Right when I saw the name, I thought, What a creative and easy-to-pronounce name for an Egyptian restaurant. I hadn t heard of it before, as it s still fairly new, but I stumbled across it while in the area. I have a favourite Egyptian restaurant in the GTA but I always love to try any new Egyptian spot I see. This was a unique experience as it offers a different vibe. This restaurant felt more like a takeout-style place rather than fine dining. In fact, I almost forgot to pay at the end since I m so used to paying upfront at these types of places. As soon as you enter, you re greeted by the very kind owner, who explained the menu and helped me decide what to try. I was torn between a skewer plate, a sandwich, or one of the main Egyptian meals. I ended up going with the Macarona Bechemel, and it was excellent! I initially planned to save some for my family, so I asked for a takeout container, but that didn t happen I ended up finishing the whole plate on the spot, haha. This place really serves authentic Egyptian food. It didn t feel like I was eating at a restaurant but rather at my tayta s house back in Egypt. I d describe it more as an authentic restaurant you would find in Masr compared to an upscale dining experience in Egypt. It s definitely worth checking out and I can t wait to return to try more of their dishes.

To be honest, I came to the restaurant twice before and the food was good, but on the last visit everything was bad. The moussaka and koshari every time we ask them to add something, and the molokhiya is like watery, with no taste or anything. And the day I spoke to them, they said, We will only see who cooked it and did not try to modify it. There is no service or taste

Good food, great host and atmosphere, but please reduce your oil use. The Hawawshi was swimming in oil and the Macaroni Bechamel was super oily. Those dishes are already heavy by nature and dont really need the help of additional oil. Id suggest air frying or baking the hawawshi as opposed to deep frying, and reducing the amount of cheese in the Macaroni Bechamel. Otherwise, everything else was top notch.

Al Kabeer Awi in Lawrence, Scarborough, is a hidden gem offering a delightful culinary adventure with its diverse menu and inviting ambiance. My recent visit was nothing short of spectacular, featuring delicious dishes and top-notch service. The Chicken Lover Plate stole the show with its succulent, well-seasoned pieces that were bursting with flavor. The Half Oven Roasted Chicken was another highlight, boasting a perfectly crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. The Eggplant dish was a pleasant surprise, delivering rich, savory flavors with a perfect blend of spices, making it a must-try for both vegetarians and meat lovers. For dessert, the Om Ali was a dream come true. This traditional Egyptian treat was warm, creamy, and perfectly sweet, leaving a lasting impression. In short, Al Kabeer Awi excels on all fronts from the outstanding food to the friendly service. Its the perfect spot for anyone looking to savor exquisite Middle Eastern cuisine in Scarborough. Highly recommended! Vegetarian options: Eggplant

One star because there is no other option for less than one star. If there was, I wouldnt hesitate. This place/ restaurant needs to reassess how it operates. They are not selling rare artifacts or precious metals, yet they price their food as if it is. Prices dont fit the quality and the portions. It seems that they would rather grab the quick buck than maintain a repeat customer and build a good reputation. I have also noticed that so many reviews are written by accounts IN EGYPT. So many of these accounts reviewed and rated businesses that are ONLY located in Egypt, and then all of a sudden they have a review for AL Kabeer Awi in Toronto.!! ONLY ONE REVIEW OUTSIDE EGYPT.?! Its so funny how one of these people reviewed a restaurant in Cairo and said (the best Ramadan suhoor) and then 2 days after he wrote a review for AL Kabeer Awi in Toronto and said the best food ever.!! And again ONLY one review outside Egypt. Please stop this nonsense. My advice is try to play it smart., dont keep it all 5*. Try to give yourself some 4* so that it looks believable. As you can see, I have never bothered to review or rate any place before, but I felt this was belittling our minds.

The staff is so polite and pays attention to the nitty details. The food is very delicious, and the taste reminds me about the genuine taste of street food in Cairo. The quality and cleanliness are above and beyond, and much better than most egyptian restaurants in GTA, though the prices are reasonable and much cheaper than those rivals. highly recommended

Note: (this review includes the reply to the the owner). 1 - Whoever thought this was Egyptian food, didnt know what Egyptian food was. 2 - The type of service was just the type that says we will sweet-talk you as long as we get your money. The food was very cold. We ordered Bechamel pasta and it came cold and watery. All their sandwiches are very tiny, you get HALF a bread with ONLY 2 falafels in it for $7.!!.? Sajouk (Egyptian sausage). You get 2 VERY small sausages cut into four pieces inside half a sandwich for $4.50 IF YOU BUY THREE halves for $12. The owner said we make the BEST hawawshi, so I ordered one. It was a very thin layer of ground meat with LOTS of fat for $11.99.!!!? It did not taste good at all. Worse than all that was when I asked for some tahini sauce, they brought a tablespoonful and charged me $1.49. My husband asked for some pickles, and they gave us 4 pieces of pickles and charged us $5.99. IT IS WELL KNOWN that pickles and tahini sauce come free with the food in all Middle Eastern restaurants, just like ketchup and mustard. This is what they call service.!!!? I have been to many Egyptian restaurants in Mississauga and they have way better food and service. For example, I go to Al-Omda, and all the food I order including sandwiches, comes with salad and pickles besides the pickles that they bring as appetizers. The atmosphere was ok, but their seating area was small. You can hear everyones conversation. No music playing or anything. I wouldnt trust all these 5 * reviews that they have. If this restaurant continues working with this system, soon its name will change to El- soghaier awi. meaning (the very small). Reply to the owner. Yes, I did go to the supermarket, because you told us the food will take time to prepare. We came back and we waited OVER 15 minutes for the food. 2 People came after us while we were at the supermarket and their food was served before ours. So, if my food was ready, why did I have to wait for more than 15 minutes after I came back. ? To the point where I had to go to your counter and ask about our food. I know nothing is free, and everything is included in the price at other restaurants, but you failed to include anything. The flafel sandwich, we asked for no toppings and only tahini. Yet, the sandwich came with two flafels and very dry. We asked for the tahini on the side and we get charged for it. You are clearly not willing to take constructive criticism, as Im sharing my experience and you say that Iam someone with an ulterior motive.?? All I did was compare restaurants and give feed back. I wish you good luck, and all the best in your business.

average experience, overpriced, kebda/liver is not the Alexandrian way, big liver pieces and adding Tahini on top is not how to eat it in Alexandria, sodok/sausages empty sandwich full of veggies not meat, for $10 its way overpriced, koshari with brown rice, big onion chunks, Om Ali is overpriced too, came with no nuts and too much milk, embarrassing that my Canadian friend didnt like the food and said Im overrating our Egyptian kitchen

March 23, 2024

Bad service you order your food you have to wait long time to get your food And will bring the food is wrong order and super expensive with bad service. If I can put lower on one star I will do and I don t advise anybody go to this place. and a lot of fake review you can tell by the date and the time

March 23, 2024

Dont be fooled by the fake 5* reviews that are all made by accounts with 1 review history.. What is the coincidence that after every bad review they get, comes more than TEN 5* reviews, and again all written by people that have no other reviews on their profile.. it is very obvious. I had a horrible experience as the food is not authentic, quality is very low, and quantities are VERY small for the prices they charge. Service is very poor.

This what i get hawashi without any tahini sauce or even pickles i dont know

February 23, 2024

I really wanted to love this place but it s so so bad. Hawawshi is very small with too much fat. No tahina no pickles with any of the food. Pasta bachamel very bland. Ful is just canned ful you can make at home for $1. Everything is very pricey compared to quantity and quality. I don t mind paying a lot for good food. But I would not return even if it was for free.

It s a great place and seems very authentic. However, as an Egyptian food lover and Koshary expert, I have a couple points that got me somewhat disappointed. 1. The Koshary lacked a couple essential ingredients which are short cut spaghetti and chickpeas. 2. The spicy sauce wasn t bad but it could be more intense as I used up the whole thing and it wasn t really doing much. 3. The pasta to rice ratio could be improved, the rice and lentils were dominating the dish. 4. The quality of the elbow macaroni was noticeably bad. It felt a slightly bit more rubbery than it should have been.

Calling This place authentic Egyptian is like calling Taco Bell authentic Mexican. It s a disgrace! It was my fault to trust the fake 5 star reviews. there is No hummus, no baba ganoush, no kofta, no bbq meats, no tawook, So think to yourself, how authentic is this place? But seeing how the food tastes, I wouldn t recommend adding anything to the menu before fixing what they already have. The plates and sandwiches are so small and the taste is very bad. It is just over-priced hospital food. The dessert was cake crumbs with raw crunchy rice for $9 we all left hungry & headed straight to McDonald s. I recommend trying Sumas on O Connor, it is close to this place location wise. But food wise it is no where near close. Sumas is much much better!!
