In a city known for every kind of fusion and ethnic food, this Egyptian restaurant with a comfortable bar, alluring decor and belly dancing stands out. All the usual suspects are here---hummus, baba ghanouj, tabbouleh and falafel---but… Read Full Editorial
Take a trip to Egypt and leave your troubles behind by THE GREEK via Citysearch on 4/24/2012
I recently had to go out to San Francisco on business. My Client owns many restaurants in California but asked me to meet him and his two Partners for dinner. We have known each other for years and had met while traveling in Europe. We…
open to new things by M H via Insider Pages on 11/26/2007
if you're someone who loves exploring your taste buds, al masri is the place to do that. they have yummy kebabs & hummus. any night is a good night because they feature belly dancing during your meal.
BEST Egyptian Restaurant in the WORLD!! by jhermjherm via Citysearch on 6/24/2007
You can't go wrong. But there have been some changes, lately...GREAT changes!!\r
\r
The menu has changed, as the former cook is no longer there, and the food is more of the Egyptian style with more variety -- and much tastier! …
Bad, Overpriced Food. Good Bellydancings. by ackbar via Citysearch on 2/16/2007
This place is overpriced for the food. The atmosphere is cool, and the belly dancers are truly amazing. But I paid $18 for a plate of fries with sauce. I ordered one of their vegetarian dishes, and I got glop served over fries. We went…
Great experience! by carr1liz via Citysearch on 1/21/2007
I can't tell you how much a fabulous time I had at Al Masri...it was such an amazing, delicious, and educational experience. After talking to Samar and Hatem during dinner, I had such a better appreciation for the experience and respect…
Great deco and service ! by amyonghwee via Citysearch on 12/17/2006
The Egyptian decorations are great, making you feel you are in Egypt ! The service was warm and attentive. Explanations are given on dish recommendations. I love the dessert selections. Later in the night, I found that the server was…
Would you pay $45 for white plain rice??? by alwarid via Citysearch on 10/13/2006
We went in a group, and the owner refused to accommodate our Vegetarian Friends. A group menu is forced on you, and you are not allowed to order individually. \r
\r
Our Vegetarian friends had to share meat dishes with us (they ate rice…
not alot for your buck by cdhiccup via Citysearch on 9/28/2006
If you are going just for the belly dancing, then it's ok. But otherwise the food isn't that great, nor was it worth it. At almost $40/ person, you would think you'd come out with a belly full of good food. That's not the case.
The worst experience ever!! by yarahb79 via Citysearch on 8/1/2006
Despite the ambiance AL Mmasri restaurant enjoys and the appealing feeling of the Sahara nights,unfortunately neither the owner,the waitresses or the dancers overthere let you enjoy it at all. \r
We had a reservation for almost 15…
A Total International Experience by lovemyfood via Citysearch on 3/20/2006
Everyone and anyone interested in a real dining experience should venture to Al-Masri. I read the article the SF Chronicle wrote about them & felt to try what they described as "An excursion to Egypt, if only for a night". I had the…
al-masri egyption restaurant by j c. via Judy's Book on 3/20/2006
what a fun place! the decor is unique and the food is good. the best is the dancing. i love when restaurants entertain as well so you could make the dining experience more enjoyable. there aren't many egyption restaurants in the city…
Good food too slow. by mmhmm via Citysearch on 2/15/2006
If you live in the East Bay, don't bother. It's not worth the drive. I chose this place because of the ambiance and alleged belly dancer. Dinner took two hours, almost twenty minutes between meals and drinks. In all that time we never…
An unexpected Egyptian escape in the Outer Richmond. by Joanna Currier via Citysearch on 1/17/2006
In Short
The whitewashed walls and taupe tiled floors of this exotic dining room are decorated in colorful hieroglyphs and golden scarabs and sphinxes. A sumptuous private balcony with plush seating hangs over the full bar.…
Looks great, but the food is bad by syre via Citysearch on 9/4/2005
We went to Al-Masri tonight, to see some music and bellydancing. \r
\r
The place is beautifully decorated, but the service was not great and the food was no better than what you can buy at Safeway. \r

We had the baked chicken, the…
What's all the hoopla? by mabo via Citysearch on 6/29/2005
Dined recently at Al-Masri and was very disappointed. The prix fix prices are a bit high but you don't have any alternative. I opted for the veggie option and choose okra as one course. Felt like canned tomato sauce was dumped over the…
User review by shariff by shariff via Citysearch on 6/15/2005
From the moment you walk into Al-Masri and everything reminds me of Egypt. The welcome hospitality of its friendly staff to the very last detail of its amazing décor. The belly dancers are awesome. The perfection in the…
Keep in mind this is a FULL NIGHT OUT by EKG via Citysearch on 4/11/2005
This is a great restaurant, but not if you have other plans for the evening. That was my first mistake when I first went there. Hatem almost seemed insulted that we didn't want to spend more than an hour and a half there. We didn't…
AMAZING!!! by drbecca via Citysearch on 12/15/2004
AL-MASRI is the best new place in the city that I've been to in years. The food is absolutely amazing, only to be outdone by the fabulous ambiance. Belly dancing every night makes you feel like you're actually in Egypt and the family who…
What a great meal! by jschechner via Citysearch on 12/13/2004
This resturant was a terrific find! It's somewhat off the beaten path, but the food is delicious, the service is impeccable, and the belly dancing is wonderful!
Underwhelming and overpriced by leahning via Citysearch on 11/12/2004
After dusting off an old $25 gift certificate to this place that I had purchased on Ebay for $1 last year (should have been my first warning) we set out last night to experience Al Masri. There were only 2 other customers there, so the…
