Cometbus and Imhotep's cuisine. › Steve Jenson's blog

Sometimes when you wander aimlessly around town, you just end up bored and tired or maybe a bird shits on your head. Other times you find the best restaurant in the whole damn city. Al-Masri is seriously buried in the outer richmond, on 41st avenue and Balboa and if you've never had Egyptian food (which is kind of a distant cousin to Iraqi cuisine, which you might've had under the guises of Persian food, if that helps), then you have to eat here. If you're too embarrassed to eat by yourself, give me a ring, We'll go with you.
