Good Morning Hookah Whisperers!
Today I get to do one of my favorite things, and that is, review a hookah bar. I like this because, I must have had a smoke at the place, and that is always a good thing!
When you first step into the Egyptian in Broad Ripple, you feel like, well, you’re in Broad Ripple. Maybe a bit eccentric, but different and trendy, and that’s okay.
According to their website, www.theegyptianindy.com, “Many elements are modeled off the most famous coffee shop in Egypt, “El Fishawy”. “El Fishawy” is located in the Khan El-Khalili district in Old Cairo and has been running 24 hours a day since 1773. It has been frequented by many generations of famous Egyptian artists and writers.”
The decor is a combination of Egyptian painting on the walls, much like hieroglyphs, and some very comfortable leather chairs and pillowed benches. This makes for a casual, yet upscale experience for dining alone, or with Hookah. The last time I went to the Egyptian, I had two bowls. First I had Al Fakher Grape with Mint. This was a delight because I love the stuff. The hookah servers are nice and very pleasant, but they could spend a bit more time on heat management. You do have to ask them to move your coals because they don’t give you tongs, which is somewhat annoying. The second bowl was Al Fakher Lemon with Mint and was equally as good, all but for the heat management. Overall, they do a pretty good job serving hookah. They may need to hire some additional day help though if the crowds continue to grow.
Their food menu is diverse and offers selections from the following categories: Appetizers, Salads, Sandwiches, Kabobs, Desserts, and of course, Hookah. Some of the featured items are their, Lamb Kabob, their Chicken Souvlaki, and of course their Hummus and Falafel Pita Wrap.
The Hummus and Pita bread is absolutely to die for! It is rich and creamy and melts in your mouth with a very pleasant lingering taste that keeps you wanting more. This is best followed by a Falafel Pita wrap, which is beautifully served and tastes like you are actually eating it from a street vendor on the streets of Egypt!
It is located at 6265 Carrollton Ave in Broad Ripple. Give it a try, you will be more than impressed…you’ll be satisfied and smiling!
Remember to share this with Stephen Hawking using the share bar in the post, and don’t forget to check out my YouTube channel, Hookahwhisperer, and subscribe to both.
Until next time, remember: Life is too short to smoke cheap shisha!
