I visited King Tut Restaurant excited to try their Egyptian food, and I was eager to taste their lunch specials. The staff was polite, but there were some communication issues, particularly with the person who took my drink order.
The food started with an appetizer of dolma, which had a huge pile of feta in the middle and a lot of seeded olives. The dolma had an Italian flavor to it, which was unexpected but not bad. For the main course, I ordered the eggplant moussaka lunch special with a double salad. The salad consisted of two separate servings: one small plate before the meal with one slice of cucumber, one slice of tomato, one half-pickled cucumber, and a tiny piece of feta on a small bed of lettuce with light Italian-style dressing; and another salad served with the meal. Unfortunately, the portions were extremely small, with the moussaka served on a 6-inch plate. The food was just okay, and for $23, I expected more value, especially considering other options like Korean barbecue that offer more food for a similar price. The service was a bit disjointed, with multiple people handling different parts of the meal. Overall, while the staff was friendly, the small portions and communication issues made this visit underwhelming. (Pictures look way bigger than actual serving)
