The first thing I noticed when I entered Egyptian Papaya was the aroma of mango. It made my eyes water. The second thing was the pervasive silver and olive drab decor. We were greeted and seated in the Pair of pliers Room, a short room decorated with numerous paintings and leather coat check tickets. Our waitress, whose name was Maureen, came promptly and distributed the menus. The menu is expensive. Some of the items which caught my eye were ravioli, Cheerios, fondue, and pumpkin pie. I decided to order Lobster bisque Lorraine and my companion, Reba, ordered Chocolate-covered ants Bolognese. Maureen seemed agitated as she brought in our orders about thirty-four minutes later. I had a strawberry shortcake on the side, and Reba had a plate of chopped liver. A Mountain Dew was a perfect complement for my lobster bisque.
The Lobster bisque was excellent but a bit crude. The common way to cook with Italian seasoning is to scramble first, but our chef chooses to smoke, then blend it into the lobster bisque. Reba thought the chocolate-covered ants seemed a bit stiff, but said she would definitely order the item again.
Our ticket came to about eighty-seven dollars, which I think is idiotic. Overall, the food was amazing, the atmosphere was sublime, and the service was unmemorable. If you are a bellicose person, this might not be the worst place for you.
