4.5 stars. Fantastic restaurant in Byron bay where the music is great, the waitress is friendly, and the food is delicious. I love the middle eastern lamps hanging down from the ceiling.
An Australian from Sydney who comes to Byron bay every year first told me about this Egyptian restaurant.
MUST GET:
triple dip (pita bread with hummus, Baba ganoush, and spicy tomato sauce). The pita bread is thin and toasted - delicious! Each complement is delicious! We asked for extra pita bread and finished all of them!
Prawns with mango avocado sauce - Super fresh prawns that are perfectly grilled. I like the mango avocado sauce. Can use a bit more salt or lime sauce on this.
SOLID:
Roasted cauliflower - fantastic sauce with dukka. The cauliflowers were a bit over cooked. Ask for a crunchier version.
SKIP:
Fatoush salad - this salad is too salty for an american. Ask them to dress it with less salt.
Fried eggplant with macadamia nut - I liked the eggplant a lot which is tender and not greasy or bitter (difficult to do!) this dish was a bit bland. Put some of that tomato sauce from the triple dip to spice it up a bit.
You can purchase wine here or BYOB. We decided for the latter and grabbed a bottle down the street on Bay Ln.
