The headquarters of Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) is a massive three-story facility that used to manufacture Boeing 747 fuselages. The bulk of SpaceX's employees work in the facility, and it is where the company builds all of its Falcon 9 rockets.

Unusually delicious Egyptian food, pleasant decor (part of the restaurant looks like a tent) and very nice service. The combo plates, such as the vegetarian plate and the two kabob combinations, are great values.
