The food was phenomenal! We got the Makani platter and the hummus & falafel were to die for. Perfectly made in the Egyptian style. We got shawerma platters, shish tawouk, and kebda eskandarani, and all of it was to die for. The hookahs are very well done as well. I loved the music playing and the games available; it truly felt like a little slice of home.

Makani Restaurant truly delivers an exceptional dining experience with its authentic Egyptian cuisine. The flavors are rich and beautifully crafted, bringing a genuine taste of Egypt to every dish. The liver sandwich is a standout—perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. And for dessert, the Om Ali is a must-try; warm, creamy, and absolutely delightful.

Beyond the incredible food, the service is unparalleled. Our host, Mazen, went above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience, offering excellent recommendations that made the meal even more enjoyable. The attention to detail and welcoming atmosphere make Makani a place worth visiting again and again. Highly recommended for anyone seeking authentic Egyptian flavors paired with outstanding hospitality!

I have never been in person but this is one of my late night go to orders from DoorDash. The food is always consistent in flavor and quantity for the great price. No complaints from me. The Makani platter, kofta, and hummus with beef have never disappointed. Always packaged well and always satisfactory.

Such a cute little find close to the airport. They were open late on a weeknight, and the food was amazing! The prices were very reasonable. Don’t miss the feta appetizer- really delicious. The signature sandwich is also very flavorful. This is also a hookah lounge, so many people were enjoying that.

This is a little hard to evaluate. We’d been here before, but possibly under a different name. We went for lunch, and enjoy trying new places, or those not visited in a long time. We were the only customers. I got their signature sandwich, a gyro of beef and chicken, which was quite tasty. My wife ordered the Makati Sampler, which she liked a lot, but was way too much for her.

Atmosphere is a potential issue. It’s rather dark, with a couple different decor “themes.” 3 TVs were showing soccer games. Service was good, though I felt a bit uncomfortable being the only patrons. Reasonably priced, though an 18% gratuity is added automatically. Worth a try.

A Hidden Gem for Shawarma and Gyro Lovers

If you’re looking for a spot that delivers big on taste, value, and portion size, this place is it! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the delicious aroma of freshly cooked shawarma and gyro that instantly whets your appetite.

The Food: Simply put, the food here is amazing. The shawarma is tender and flavorful, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. The gyro is just as impressive, with succulent, juicy meat wrapped in soft, warm pita bread, complemented by fresh vegetables and a creamy, tangy sauce. Each bite is a delightful explosion of flavors that leaves you wanting more.

Portion Size: One of the standout features of this restaurant is the generous portion sizes. You definitely get more than what you pay for, making it a fantastic option if you’re looking to fill up without breaking the bank. Each dish is packed to the brim, ensuring that even the heartiest of appetites will be satisfied.

Prices: Speaking of not breaking the bank, the prices here are incredibly reasonable. Considering the quality and quantity of food you’re getting, it’s a real steal. It’s rare to find a place that offers such amazing food at such low prices, making it a top choice for both quick lunches and relaxed dinners.

In summary, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who loves great food at great prices. The shawarma and gyro are particularly outstanding, and with the large portions, you’ll leave feeling full and happy every time. Highly recommended!

This was once my favorite spot, but after a very unpleasant experience with the owner—who rudely asked me to leave after I was already seated and had ordered—I will not be coming back. I also won’t be recommending this place to family or friends.

Service was great too — super friendly staff and fast.
Definitely coming back for more!
