Honestly! The best Egyptian food I ate in Australia I tried Egyptian food in Australia, Canada and the states, and this is similar to the Egyptian food I ate in the best restaurants in Egypt. The restaurant got the taste of Egypt. The owner is a lovely person, it was our first time couple of days ago with noisy kids, and he entertained them a lot, as visitors from Canberra, I went back again today and again same lovely personality, from the owner and the staff, they are so kind, smiling and showed real love to my kids. The place is nice size and got plenty of space, though I felt they were relying more on take out, but the clients who were dining in seemed like recurrent visitors. Highly recommend Will come back

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10 We had lunch today at Taste of Egypt in Bankstown, and honestly, it felt like flying to Egypt, enjoying authentic home-style food, and coming straight back to Sydney. Every single dish was perfect – the meat and chicken were so tender and full of flavor, the mahshi (stuffed vegetables) tasted exactly like how you’d get it in Egypt, and the molokheya was simply spot on – rich, silky, and comforting. This is hands down the best Egyptian food I’ve had in Australia. The flavors were authentic, portions were generous, and the whole experience was like eating at a family table in Cairo. Our family absolutely loved it – we all left with full hearts and full stomachs. And the service was 10/10 – warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring. If you’re craving real Egyptian cuisine, this is the place to go. Highly recommended – we’ll definitely be back again and again.

THE FOOD IS AMAZING!! Taste great!!, we had lamb shank and koshari, lamb was very tender and flavourful, the rice is so buttery and taste just perfect. My husband love the koshari as well. I call everyone to please try! Highly recommended!!

Best Egyptian food ever. Kufta and Lamb chops are must try.

I haven't had much Egyptian food, but I found the food here absolutely delicious. Will definitely come back.
