Egyptian Food? Esp. take out

[SarahKC]

In order to get excited for our King Tut visit tomorrow, want Egyptian food tonight. Take out since we'll be doing some cooking ourselves. Any suggestions - SF, South SF, Daly City? Searching came up next to nothing.

I just read about kushari / koshary in Saveur, which reminded me of seeing it on Bourdan's show, and would like to try some. Anybody had it around here other than at al-Masri?

I went to al-Masri a couple of years ago and the food was OK but not memorable. It seemed more of a belly-dance club with a restaurant than vice-versa. One report in the archive: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/16819

One other Egyptian place, Crave City, which specializes in feteer (something like pizza).

Sahari in Sunnyvale used to do this as a special. They closed the restaurant but still do catering. It's not on their current catering menu, but maybe they would do it as a special request?

What was wrong with this? Are they no longer open?

Edit: Asked the non-foodie member of the family, my wife, who went there with friends. She said it was empty and doesn't even remember if the food was good. Mixed reviews at Y---.
