Basic but ok - Edit
I just ordered a falafel, fattoush, lentil soup and hummus takeaway.
Read moreSaving the hummus for later but the pita was warmed up which is always so nice.
The falafel was super basic and quite small for the price point.
The lentil soup, also super basic, but ok. The fattoush was, you guessed it, super basic (but did have pita ! See other local review).
Friendly staff and definitely looked nice inside (like first date nice) but overall I wouldn't come back for anything I tried today.
Lots of vegan ( ) labeling on the menu but confusing: says fattoush, tabouleh aren't vegan but are in fact vegan items. Clarify when ordering and it should show on your bill.
Pros: Clearly marked vegan, GF etc menu items, Decent prices
Cons: Confusing menu labeling, Really basic flavours

Elegant decor, great food, wonderful service - Edit
When this restaurant moved, they went all out to create a lovely ambiance. Decor is tasteful and calming, and they have included materials to reduce extraneous noise— you can relax and have a good conversation here! Vegans and vegetarians have good choices, and the chef is flexible (I requested tofu or beans be added to my eggplant tagine). There is something for everyone on the extensive menu. My main course was excellent. Baklava was delicious and vegan. There are tasty non-alcoholic cocktails. And our waiter was attentive and helpful. This is a place I’ll want to return, especially on special occasions, even though I live in Fredericton.

Disappointing meal - Edit
We ate at this restaurant years ago and remember being served delicious flavourful food in a great atmosphere. This time the food we ordered was almost entirely tasteless. We ordered the baba ghanouj to start and it lacked any flavour but was swimming in olive oil. We followed with the falafel burger. I had mine with lentil soup, which, although it did have a bit of spice was rather thin. The deep fried burger was totally without flavour, it could have been anything. No garlic, no spices, nothing. The onion and pickle were the only flavours. We were looking forward to dessert (baklava) but decided not to risk it. We wasted enough money on those choices. There was no attempt made to rectify the situation which we had made clear to the waiter.
Read moreWe will never come back.
Pros: Vegan options clearly marked
Cons: Food was tasteless. Waiter lacked interest.
TasteOfEgypt
We’re really sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. We always aim to provide flavorful, quality food, and it’s clear we missed the mark during your visit. We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We have been in business many years since this and know we have continued to improve! We’d love the opportunity to make things right if you ever decide to give us another chance.

Amazing food - Edit
Service was great and food was delicious! Everything was clearly marked vegan and vegetarian. I was asked when I arrived if I had any allergies or diet restrictions and the server showed me a few meals that could easily be converted to vegan. First time here but it defiantly won't be my last😍
Read morePros: quiet a few vegan options
Cons: little expensive but I felt it was worth it
TasteOfEgypt
Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad you felt taken care of and found plenty of vegan-friendly options. It means a lot to hear this was your first visit but not your last — we can’t wait to have you back!

Great veg options - Edit
Perfect place where both omnivores & vegans can enjoy. This is the only place in Saint John I’ve been able to find that has clearly marked vegan options.

would have given 5 stars - Edit
The food was delicious, and menu filled with vegan options. Happy cow won't let you give 5 stars to non-processed vegetarian restaurants or I would.
Read moreThe menu is clearly marked with multiple options for vegans and vegetarians. Plus vegan desserts. A must in St John

Amazing Falafel - Edit
I wish I had reviewed this restaurant sooner! My husband and I enjoyed Taste of Egypt while staying at a nearby hotel in St. John. We called and ordered two vegetarian platters which were absolutely delicious. The Falafel was spot on, the pitas were warm and delicious, and they gave a giant serving of some of the best hummus I've ever had (I usually enjoy making my own!).
Read morePros: A fair amount of Vegan options.
TasteOfEgypt
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled to hear that you and your husband enjoyed the vegetarian platters, especially the falafel and hummus! We’re so glad we could impress you, even when you usually make your own hummus. Hope to welcome you both back next time you’re in St. John!
