Food was very good. Fries are super crispy and delicious. Especially Egyptians. Beef shawarma was really good. In any case, this place must give an attempt and we will be back.

Fast, Authentic, and Fresh! This was my first visit to this restaurant and I order the Chicken Shawarma Fatteh (pictured) and it was delicious! The rice looked like the same fried rice I'd get at a Mexican or Chinese restaurant, but tasted MUCH better! I also had a wonderful pudding dessert along with it that I ate before I could get a picture of. Definitely will be coming here again!!

This is one of my favorite takeout spots. The food is always delicious and the service is always great. They are fast and the prices are very reasonable. Also, it doesn’t make me feel disgusting afterwards. What more can you ask for?!

I don't write many reviews, or gush about restaurants because frankly there aren't many exceptional places. Cairo 2 Go IS an exceptional place, though, so I hope you will read this and give them a visit. First, you should note that we went to Cairo 2 Go at 7:30pm on a Sunday evening...oftentimes it would be a gamble to go to a restaurant at this hour on Sunday, however, I can't imagine getting better service than what we received. To me that really says something. The place is very clean from the dining room to the restroom. Always a good sign, everything looked and smelled fresh. Second, we were greeted immediately by the friendly hostess at the counter, who was really great. We had viewed the menu online and told her it was our first visit. She was helpful in explaining a few things on the menu, and made an excellent recommendation of the mixed shawarma bowl, which my wife and I both ordered along with the falafel appetizer. The hostess drew our attention to the Koshary menu item, explaining it was the national dish of Egypt and first-time customers are offered a complimentary sample. How very nice and welcoming this is! The sample, which was honestly a full serving, was fantastic! It came with two different dressings, a lemon vinaigrette and a spicy sambal-like hot sauce which were also delicious. It was my first taste of Egyptian food and it was very enjoyable and recognizable as comfort food. I will order this on my next visit. Next, our entrees were brought out, beautifully prepared to the eye, and emitting fragrant, wonderful spices, saffron, onion and tomato. A nice touch is that the entrees were served in a microwavable plastic container with lid included so you can easily take any leftovers home. The marinated beef and chicken was tender and flavorful, the yellow rice was aromatic and perfectly prepared. The vegetables were crunchy and fresh. Just really a great dish, everything tasted fresh, exceptional. The fried falafel was crispy outside, aromatic, soft and hot on the inside and was delicious with the tahini it came with. Portion sizes were not skimpy and I felt we got excellent value for our money. About halfway through our meal, a man I assume was the owner came out to the dining room to ask how our meal was, being our first visit. We appreciated the attention to detail and hospitality, thanking him for the great meal and complimentary Koshary. He thanked us for coming. Now, the fact that a legit Egyptian casual restaurant exists in West Virginia is a marvel itself. You owe it to yourself to patronize this business and experience it for yourself. They are really fantastic! Can't wait for our next visit.
