Reviews for El Mahroosa Restaurant & Cafe in Anaheim, CA
A lot of people will say ?nothing beats home,? and that true, but you can?t compare a restaurant in Anaheim to your Aunt?s table... in Cairo. This place has a decent ambiance, a friendly service, and food that?s good. It didn?t send my tastebuds back to Egypt,but it felt good to have some Egyptian food after not being in Egypt for a few months. We ordered Koshari (a must) and Pigeonwith Molokhiya (which is great because you don?t typically find pigeon in your average grocery store). The prices are not bad,however, they are noticeably a little higher than their nearby competitor with almost an identical menu, Cairo Cafe. Read more
I would say I travel almost an hour to go there. The vibes are so friendly and welcoming, the staff are so sweet, polite and... helpful, they have a large outstanding variety of hookahs. The menu is pretty huge with plenty of items to choose from, whateveryou like eating, they have items that will suffice. I usually get the mixed grill, the lamb is more than perfect, the kofta isvery juicy and the beef is delicious. They got turkish coffee, konafas are so tasty and the prices are extremely reasonable forthe value. Very much recommended. Read more
Is this place under new ownership?? I came here a while back and the food was fantastic. I came in a couple of weeks ago and was... extremely disappointed. The food wasn?t prepared how it was the previous time I came in. They had the audacity to give me a tinyportion of salad that was straight out of a bag you buy at a grocery store. Middle eastern restaurants are known for havingfresh middle eastern style salad. Not this place. The other issue I had was the fact that my plate came with hummus and theydidn?t give me ANY bread. When you order hummus anywhere else you ALWAYS get bread. I was very upset as I didn?t have pitabread at home. This place has seriously gone downhill. Unfortunately, I will never return. Read more
???????? EGYPT (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - The menu is many pages long and meanders in and out of just about everything... that can be enjoyed in Egypt and throughout the Levant and Arabian Peninsula. Families come here together to enjoy big plattersof mandi and/or kabsa with chicken or lamb, shawerma and kababs, and a host of mezze and fried appetizers, but the kitchenreally excels with specifically Egyptian dishes that are not available in nearby restaurants with Lebanese, Palestinian, orSyrian owners.

This is a hooka bar in addition to restaurant. The ceiling fans do pretty well for keeping the smoke away. The Mediterranean... food was very good. Portions are large. I was with a party of 6. We ordered different things and everybody was very happy withtheir food. There were big screen TVs everywhere and the volume was pretty loud with middle eastern music and video. Adds to theatmosphere. Read more
