Yo Ben D and Talal A…
I’M REALLY HAPPY FOR YOU

ONE OF THE BEST RESTAURANTS OF ALL TIME!
Talal A, you forreal bro? Your entire body of work on Unilocal is a 1-​star review for this place and a 5-​star review for a competing restaurant? Which one of your friends/​family members owns it?
Ben D, who are you? The King of Edmonton Unilocal?You got 45 first reviews, but 0 friends, and 0 elite badges. Get out of here you amateur.
My family and I had so much fun here. Our meal was one of the highlights of our Feb 2014 trip to Edmonton for our cousin’s wedding!
Pyramids has a relaxing, fun and laid back atmosphere!
The hookah was great. It was the first time trying hookah for four of us in our group! Two of us are hookah veterans.
This place has huge portions for the prices! You can buy a hamburger here for $ 3.50 or get a shawarma sandwich that you can’t even finish for under $ 10.
And the service is awesome! The service is so amazing that they will even offer to refill your coffee before you’ve even had your first cup!!! B-)

I’ve seen the advertisements for the new Pyramids Shisha Egyptian restaurant in a couple of places I frequent, so I thought I’d give it a try today.
It’s located in a somewhat run down area of 118ave just west of the muni. From the outside it looks like nothing at all. Once inside though, you will be impressed with what they have done to the place. This restaurant is lavishly decorated and it feels as if you have entered a shop in Cairo. And that’s the top of the roller coaster friends — it’s all down hill from here.
Once I scrutinized the menu I decided to try a greek salad and lentil soup as appetizers. I was informed by the waitress that they don’t have a greek salad, only a house salad. Why advertise it then? I order the salad any way and was shocked by what showed up. It was a small plate, about the size of a large ash tray! The salad was mediocre… and they wanted $ 9 for it. I could of ordered a salad at Subway that was tastier, twice the size for only half the price.
Next came the lentil soup, which came in a bowl the size of a large coffee cup. It was okay and it cost only $ 4.
As an entrée I ordered something called a foul plate with a beef hot dog. Out came another small plate with beans, fried green peppers and a single chopped up beef sausage. It was tasty but the serving size was small again, especially considering they charged me $ 14 for it. A couple of pita breads were included as a side. The pitas were stale and after two bites I left them.
The waitress seemed surprised to see me when I asked for the bill. «Done already?» she said.
Of course I was done. The «meals» at Pyramids are not meals at all, just vastly over priced snacks and very average ones at that.
I don’t know how they can justify charging the prices they do for the inferior quality and quantity of food they offer.
Thankfully sites like Unilocal exist to help root out complete duds and rip off like Pyramids Shisha Restaurant.
Alright, now lets join Taylor in singing the chorus: WE ARE NEVER, EVER, EVER GOING TO BE EATING AT PYRAMIDS TOGETHER!!!
