King Tut ready to go on Pine Street

Richard Nevada and Tina Sodi, the husband-wife combo of late Washington Square restaurant Sabbaba
(more recently Leila Café, which moved to 1356 South St.), are back to reclaim their old corner
spot with a Middle Eastern BYOB called King Tut (1240 Pine St., 215-735- 8111.). Set to open within the next few days, the restaurant will focus heavily on the family's Egyptian and Lebanese roots, providing an affordable selection of handmade dishes. For lunch they'll do sandwiches, salads, soups and rice platters, all priced just below $6. The dinner menu expands on these offerings, with meat and veggie entrees like grilled kafta, bamiya, addas bihamod and Nevada's personal favorite, mashawi, a mix of grilled lamb, chicken and kafta meant for two to share. They’ll also offer a grand opening special — choice of soup, app, entrée, dessert and beverage (try the deep purple karkadé, made of the Hibiscus sabdariffa flower) for $24.95. Belly dancers will entertain every Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. until close. The spot will stay open until 10 pm. nightly.
