Cocktails are way too expensive has less than a drop of alcohol , hooka is a charcoal flavor prix fix menu is extremely expensive for the quality of food. not impressed with the clown that was jumping up and down as " never seen a belly dancer dancing and techno music playing ..

I went to Casa La Femme as a complete surprise; it was my bachlorette. I was awed. The decor was beautiful and ethnic without being overly cheesy. The bellydancer actually could dance and was very friendly. And the food was delicious. For the record, I've been to Egypt. The food at Casa La Femme was BETTER than what I had eaten in Egypt. (And I was all over Egypt, not just in Cairo) Being under the tent, we had the prix fixe. I cannot fathom how people are complaining about the portions; we were stuffed at the end. The only smallish portion was the 2nd course (appetizer) but ahem... that's an appetizer! The hummus and foul were out of this world good- I usually am not a fan of foul (mashed fava beans) and I am a hummus connoisseur- this was amazing. And for anyone who says this place is not "authentic", I dare you to go to Egypt and find better versions of foul. This place even serves authentic Egyptian green soup (it's made with a leaf of the mallow plant). My only complaint was that our waiter spoke to the whole table when we couldn't all hear him. Otherwise, it was a perfect evening.

We went to casa la femme with family & our son's friends for his 18th birthday. The food, decor, and service were outstanding. The attention to detail is amazing. Even the teenagers who came with us loved casa la femme. Start your meal with the hot pita bread. It's delicious. The lamb chops, chicken, and scallops are all great choices. To top off the evening- the belly dancers- amazing. The belly dancer brought the teens to dance with her! They loved it! Don't forget you can also sit and smoke a hookah. Casa la Femme, an excellent place to Celebrate.

From my recent experience, the service was fine. I was expecting a little more attention considering it's a pricey/trendy type of place but then again my friends and I are not celebrities so what was I thinking? The food was good but not worth what they charged. We had the $45 prix fixe menu but the portions were insulting. For the price paid I expected more on my plate. I would never come here again, even if it's for a special occasion. I loved the decor and ambiance but if you can't enjoy the food it's not worth it.

Went here last night for a friends birthday. We knew ahead of time that the cost of our meals would be $55 per person and that the option of a 2 hour open bar was available for an additional $60. So we arrived at 9pm and we were seated. We sat at our table for what seemed like forever before our first drink orders were even taken. Our drinks took forever, one was served in a broken glass and the appetizers did not arrive until almost 11:30 pm! The food was just ok and the portion sizes were very small. I thought I was at a tapas spot. I ended up not eating my meal because I did not like the way that it tasted. The atmosphere was nice and the dancers were very entertaining. However at nights end our group of 15 people was presented with a check that came up to $2313.68 !!!! Now keep in mind that not everyone took advantage of the 2 hour open bar for the additional $60 . Even still, if everyone had the meal ($55) and the open bar ($60) the total should have been somewhere around $1800 (if that). When the bill was disputed and an itemized bill was requested, they would not produce one. I'm by no means cheap. I would not have a problem paying over $2000 dollars for a meal if I felt was worth it.

Went here for a friend's birthday. We got the mazzas sampler (3 types of dip; hummus, babaganoush, fuul medames), with freshly baked pita bread. I got the mousaka; it was quite different from the ones I get in the diner (no mashed potatoes or ground meat). It was 3 thick slices of eggplant with a side of delicious buttered rice. It looked small, but was very filling! The restaurant just started to pick up at 9pm; it is a late night place, and they're open until 3am on Fri. & Sat. Then the belly dancer came in. The only unpleasant surprise was the shisha (hookah); it is $35--I thought it was free! The waiter was very nice, and overall, we had a very good time.

Went to Casa La Femme for a friends birthday. When we made our reservations, we were offered the tent (as opposed to a regular table), no one told us the difference between the tents and tables (FYI, tents are all prix fix menus whilst the tables are a la carte). After being seated, we realised what had happened and advised our waiter who quickly summoned the manager. In a very abrupt manner, he immediately defended his staff and basically alluded to the fact that we should have know the difference between a table and tent (sorry but not all of us run Egyptian restaurants). In the end, he backtracked and allowed us to stay in the tent (as if somehow doing us a grand favor). Staff brought us the wrong drinks at least 4 or 5 times during the evening. Menu very limited and portions extremely small for the price. Had better quality and quantity of food at other Middle Eastern restaurants for a much better price. Decor also extremely over the the top. All in all, not a great dining experience for a group of people (if you're going for a one on one date, this may be a bit better for you). Not planning on visiting again anytime soon.
