Reviews
Here’s what we ordered:
– Arancini : Needed more cooking. One ball was a little cold, like it did not have enough time to cook/defrost. It also needed more sauce, but we asked for extra and that helped.
– Salad (arugula, apples, and mushroom): It was okay, but the portion and presentation weren’t great.
– Pasta : The waiter recommended the white sauce pasta with mushroom and chicken. It was actually really good, just needed a pinch of salt.
Overall, it was a nice experience with a great setting, friendly staff, and solid food. I would go there again.
However, be prepared for a few drawbacks. While the quality is high, the spot is a little bit expensive, and it definitely has a touristy feel, with a constant flow of non-locals.
My main piece of advice relates to comfort: be aware that it gets hot in the summer as there’s no air conditioning inside, and only fans are found. This heat exacerbates the fly problem—there were a lot of them buzzing around, which was quite distracting and unpleasant while eating. Also, the chairs aren’t that comfy for lingering.
In short: come for the must-try sun-dried tomato eggs and the speedy service, but know that you’ll pay a premium, share the space with tourists (and flies!), and won’t be sitting in comfort or cool air.
Great location.
The food was superb, very reasonably priced
Friendly staff and great service
Would certainly be coming back and would highly recommend.
Hard to identify from the outside so pic included if entrance.
The seafood is fresh, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked.
Service is professional, friendly, and fast without being intrusive.
The place is clean, comfortable, and welcoming — ideal for tourists and locals alike.
A solid choice for anyone looking for quality seafood and grilled dishes in Cairo.
Definitely worth a visit.
Two staff members. 3 other tables were occupied. I went up to ask for the menu, then later asked for his attention to take our order.
Ordered the lemon curd pancake, shakshuka eggs, and matcha latte. They didn’t have matcha. I walked up to the counter multiple times since they didn’t seem to pay much attention to our table.
Pros: location and atmosphere. The place is clean, well decorated with large windows.
Cons: serving time and food delivery took about an hour. The eggs were undercooked, the pancakes were dry, and the toast was stale and hard as a rock. We asked to exchange it. He brought another 2 pieces that were rotten (green spots/mold was visible). He brought another piece of bread to make it up, but by then we were done with the experience.
We left. I went up to the counter and asked to charge me only for the water. They charge 29 Egyptian pounds for a small bottle of water.
One of the worst experiences I have ever had in a supposedly upscale restaurant!
Will never step foot in there again. It’s so sad that it has such great potential, but is left to the hands of employees who don’t care much to see it succeed!
