RJO and I stopped by this food truck today for lunch. The blue Royal Egyptian Cuisine truck is usually parked near 2nd and Webster in Oakland. There were several folding tables shaded by umbrellas on the sidewalk for the patrons.
I ordered the kofta. It came with a bowl of spicy vegetable soup. The grilled beef was fresh and flavorful. The portions were so big, I couldn't finish my plate.
The owner is an eccentric man named Elmy Kader. He was raised in Alexandria and moved to France in the 1970s. When RJO finished his gyro, Kader gave him an extra (and free) bowl of food because he looked hungry.
