Cleopatra - Penticton

Delicious Donair meat, excellent moist falafel with crispy coating and the creamiest chickpeas! The Pita was dry, but the hummus and tzatziki were very good. Interior and exterior are both in the process of much needed renovations, as well as comfortable outdoor terrace furniture for a comfortable street side. Social, friendly and accommodating service. Definitely a new favorite!

Probably the best Donair plate we had in Canada. Loved this place and the passionate cook! Eating is just fantastic and full of taste. Plates are great. The lamb was made very unique as a curry base. The chicken in the Donair was fresh, soft and juicy. Not dry and chew like most places. Would always go back.

The food was fabulous, but I just went for the cook and the owner? . He was thrilled and a natural comedian! Here is a photo of the Turkish Delight Aphrodisiac that he gave us, promising, it would do wonders for our love life. So much fun on Monday afternoon.

Very good! Unique food and so delicious we couldn't stop eating. The owner was so nice, he brought us extra bread and water, he sat with us and spoke about his adventures. His place is full of art on the walls even the bathroom. Next time I'm in Penticton.

10 out of 5 stars Cleopatra Cafe in Penticton, on Power Street, across from the convention centre. Legit, true, authentic Turkish/Middle Eastern fare. Fast, fresh and furious. Sure...I love all food, even mediocre dishes...but Owlbear Foxbeard is a retired red seal chef, and needless to say, hard to impress. Aside from 2 other places in town, he has stated he will not eat anywhere else but here. This place is a hidden gem in our little town of Penticton, and by far one of the MOST genuine, flavourful places l have been to in my life. (And believe me, we've travelled and eaten our way through many countries across the globe). Even our own Vancouver venues haven't matched the caliber of this restaurant, so far. The personal, intimate service is just one of the perks to rave about, but that's only a bonus aside from the insanely incredible food. You cant expect much less from a family run joint. Being a kitchen brat my entire life since age 5 (playing and working in commercial kitchens since kindergarten while my parents worked 8 days a week, 25 hours a day), I understand the struggle of blue collar people trying to make a living by doing something they love, and are good at! And it's not easy if you didn't luck out by buying into some franchise. So...we need to spread the word and push people to these little gems. Because marketing and conventional advertising is f@¢k!ng expensive for these little businesses!!!!!!!!!!! Whether you're vegetarian or a meat eater, they have lamb, falafel, chicken, etc.... The hummus is like nothing you've tried before, and their olives???????? WHAT. I don't know where they get them from, or if they marinate them in house with some magical spicy black licorice flavoured concoction, but I'll tell you right now, you will NOT taste olives like these anywhere in this province. I could go on, but no need, especially as I'm not qualified food critic. I just like to eat tasty stuff, and I know what sucks and what doesn't. Just try it out, patio or takeout. You will NOT regret it.
