Al-Masri

My family and I headed out here during their buffet experience. The amount of variety, or lack of variety surprised all 8 of us. There were only 5 things offered during the buffet. There were Baked or broiled Chicken Leg Quarters did not have any flavor. They had a slightly salty and game smell. And these were in a very watery substance, not sauce. Boiled fish, which tasted really salty. Lamb or beef kabobs in a red sauce. These were really loose and had no grill taste, making me think that they were baked. Rice (looked like something out of a box) and salad with some sort of an oil dressing. The other issue was they there were very slow to refill the items. After the customersgot their items, it took over 20 minutes for the empty trays to get refilled. They also served hummus and pita. But there wasn't anything authentic about this either. This buffet, at $25/person was not worth it. They also added the tip to the bill. About 20%. And this for service almost non-existance. All the staff ever did was refill the water. The food had no Egyptian traditional flavors. This seriously looked like cafeteria food. When I had called in to make this reservation, the owner, told me that there would be Egyptian flavors on the menu. But this wasn't what we had expected. The "entertainment" was about as bad as the food. This was a really bad experience. The food, entertainment and location all accumulated to a bad evening and wasted money.
