    The view is great and the experience is lovely. However, the elevator is just terrifying, crowded and you have to stand in line to use it. The venue is very old and needs a lot of work; I literally mean everything even the chairs and tablewares. Its not expensive it just does not offer good value for money; the menu is limited and the portions are very small. Needless to say the food quality in general was mediocre at its best. Its very sad to see a unique place like this neglected.

    The highest tower in Cairo. This facility is on the 61st floor of the Tower of Cairo. It has only 12 tables to serve, you should book in advance. The restaurant rotation full circle in 45 minutes, so you can enjoy the view and have a great look of Cairo. Each person has to pay 300 EGP to enjoy the good food, we were 4 adults and 2 infants (year and half), so they were free of charge. You should order with the whole amount of vouchers. We ordered Vine leaves, Rukak with meat, Hummus, Mutabal, Corden bleu, Duck meat with Orange sauce, Greek salad, Roc salad, Shish Tawok, lintel soup and coffee, this was a great place to enjoy. Service was good and fast. I recommend this for great time and quality meetings with friends maybe and family.

    Tough chicken Moroccan chicken. Very very very slow. No desserts available, only ice cream. Beautiful idea of high revolving restaurant with great views over Cairo, but a missed opportunity to run a great restaurant up here.

    My rating is 3 s only because of the view,for a visit 300 pounds per person as a minimum order. The serving of dishes is very long, everything is just like when visiting a canteen. The menu consists of simple and local food,no declared orange sauce with meat and was not close as a visit to a tourist, I recommend, but no more…

    We had lunch at this revolving restaurant and it was a worth the money you pay. You have to buy a pass to the Cairo tower to use this restaurant and you also pay 300 Egyptian pounds per person as a down payment for the food which you then redeem from the bill. The restaurant does one full turn every hour and we were able to get a glimpse of every side of the city. The food was great and was also reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

    The view and quality of food are great, and you can see all of Cairo while you're eating. This is a great restaurant for families or couples

    Absolutely trash service. The waiter was rude from our initial encounter up until we got the check. If the food was good, I might have overlooked the bad service but the dry chicken and flavorless rice unfortunately did not help. I would not recommend to even my worst enemy.

    Slow service and overpriced (even probably reheated), bland food served in small amounts. Visit if you want to enjoy a view through dirty, sandy windows, and if you’ve got time to wait for people to serve you meals quite unhurriedly.

    Not recommended for dinner, my experience was awful. I asked for well done steak and received medium rare. I waited the order more than 30 minutes to arrive. I didn't receive bread, also I asked for sussage and didn't serve it.

    Unique revolving restaurant which mares the rotating 360 degrees. Exclusive experience on the 41st floor. Amazing view of the Cairo from the sky through the glass panorama facade. Atmosphere is soooo wonderful, lovely, beautiful. I was very inspired and happy. Our manager (waiter) was veeery professional, veeery kind, attentive, true gentleman. And especially I appreciate that the he organized the decorations of the sweets with birthday congratulations. It was sooo kind. We celebrated my birthday. Ordered the supper with 3 courses. Price per person is 1220 le + tax (total 1560 le). The menu includes the soup, salad/main dishes and sweet, for example. No any drinks - it is extra. About taste of dishes - for me it was good (crab soup wasn’t tasty fir my opinion, salad with caramel apple and fondant were brilliant). Better to book in advance because the restaurant have the limited amount of places.

    Visting Cairo from London. The staff we're so rude, food was horrible and the view overrated. Honestly the smaller local places here have better food and better customer service with friendlier staff. Had to leave our food ask for the bill early and go elsewhere it was that bad

    Horrible experience, food is really bad , very expensive , very small portions, and be cautions of the sharp edges under the table, it really hits your knees hard and can cause big scar, in addition to this the waiting for the elevator is minimum 10 to 15 minutes , so overall as an Egyptian who is not happy writing this but its the truth unfortunately… :/

    Ah, sadly this is a deeply disappointing experience. With such a great and iconic location, the food and service ought to match but this might have been the worst meal I've had in Cairo. Maybe the world. Poor administration from ticket sales, menus slapped down without a greeting, very poor waiter service - waited 45 mins to order. Then the food... Hummus okay, as you might expect. But... Duck roasted, or alternatively in orange sauce, were both unspeakably, inedibly dry. Ditto dry breaded veal. Roasted chicken nearly as bad, tasteless, dry and overcooked. The music included the "Barbie World" song at very high volume. If I had chosen this place for a romantic dinner I would be crushed at the lack of atmosphere. Also there's not much on the menu that you can eat for just your 300 Egyptian pound voucher. A rip off, really. Never mind the hard sell of a papyrus certificate by a guy dressed as a Pharaoh. Good view, but I would avoid this restaurant as a tourist trap, at least until management realise. Or maybe they do, and are relying on one-off tourist visits to justify this. I won't return.
