    I visited a Thursday late evening when it is a disco. Well, I have to say that I am not disco lover, but sometimes I am "forced" to go to these sites : ) Regarding this place, it is in a kind of basement. There were lots of people (this is great for the people who looks for crowded night places), but the site was small for the people we were in. We had to pay 300EGP's to go in and they give you 2 drinks by this price. There are alcoholic drinks. It closed at 2 am

    I don't think many Egyptians know what a Zulu is. But I was ecstatic to find this little slice of home in Cairo. The steak was a tad thin and not really medium rare (as I ordered - I was asked how I'd like it done). The rest of my meal was spectacular. Staff was fantastic. They even had Aromat. One thing I'd suggest - Braai the wors.

    Great place for a good jol and a Satafrikan inspired meal in Cairo. I had a great time and the ambiance is lekker. Noone spoke Zulu in there, I was the only Zulu on the stoep! 😂😂

    Great South African food and some food that is hard to find other places (Mac and cheese with bacon for example). Easily the best Mac and Cheese in Maadi. A free dessert with an entrée and some nice drink options make this a great date night.

    Decent place. Monday seems to me a quiet night. Had high expectations expectations for the place but was kind of disappointed. The steaks were not seasoned, and tasted blunt. Its a reasonably priced place.

    Absolutely stunning South African restobar in Cairo, in the Maadi area. Charming South African style decorations, wonderful music and karaoke, a cozy and pleasant atmosphere. The food is amazing! I used to live in South Africa and I know how much South Africans love meat! We ordered a meat plate and were very pleasantly surprised: excellent steak, chicken with spicy South African Peri-Peri sauce, many other types of meat and even traditional South African Boerewors sausages! By the way, all the waiters in the bar are dark-skinned Africans, which additionally creates the feeling as if you were in South Africa. We were very pleased with this place! Definitely recommend!

    Went for the new year's party 2024 They wanted the entry fee in cash at the door UPON ARRIVAL without informing us before hand, they forced me to go to the ATM despite me paying for drinks 10 mins later with the card at their POS machine, so they could've tried to fix the problem instead of forcing me to go to the ATM We all know what is it about "STARTS WITH A T AND END WITH X AND HAVE AN A IN THE MIDDLE" lol. It's cool but not by pissing off customers. Used to love the place but i dont know now. Would have no problem if they informed us while reserving out of respect. Door staff and reservations guy should provide alternatives and be more helpful. Ventilation is needed on the inside area next to the WCs. It was over capacity underground with no ventilation and alot of smoking (all types) On the other hand, the waiters are awesome, that's why the service is rated 4 stars and not less, should've been 5 if not for the door staff and 1 star if not for the waiters

    BEST MOJITOS EVER! Be careful, though. If you order one, you'll be tempted to order at least 7 more. You've been warned.

    Amazing Vibe, with great music from the 90's and up. I brought my kids who had come up from London and they had an amazing time! Brilliant atmosphere 👏

    Love the atmosphere. Food and service (!) were awesome. Only downside was the excessive smoke in such a confined area—wish there was a separate area for smokers.

    The place is what I call hall in the wall It’s a cozy pub / bar that not a lot of people know about yet it’s good The place is simple with the least sophistication in details I dont know how They control the quality of their clients may be door selection I don’t know but they’re doing a good job Ventilation is not very good so don’t be surprised if you walk out of the place smelling like cigarettes and food ( not so much though ) The food is average but value for price

    I've been to various clubs in Egypt, and I have observed that when you are a foreigner, such demeanor like a waiter raising his voice on you, or a group of them deducing, according to how you look, which part of the continent you come from even without inquiring from you, might seem disturbing yet normal,now I understand that this could be due to culture difference. BUT TODAY, I was so struck by the so called DJ at your South African restaurant, first because he put a blast volume when we were sitting next to the speaker, second I thought because he started playing 90s hip hop , I would be able to request from one of the waiters some 90s hip hop which are dance hip hop songs, and would have made my night. Instead he vehemently refused, I then decided to go and request him and if he is an upright man, he will agree that I approached him very politely. This is because I understand its work and any organisation has its policy. So i woild have accepted if he declined in a polite way,but these is exactly what he told me," I cannot play requests because when you come to this restaurant you've come to listen to my music, I know these songs, I know these songs but am not going to play them." Now If you run a business providing service and that is how you answer your customers then you're in the wrong industry, it does not matter how smart you're but trust me, soon or later your rude demeanor to customers will affect your revenue. Even seven star hotels that have stood the test of time, know this. So kindly advise him before its too late!

    Good to have beer with cool atomosphere. Live music was great and waiters are friendly. Food was okay but not the best for me. I had sangria , it was amazing and portion was big enough.

    Nice vibe.. Nice staff.. The food is right.. But the low ceilings made me suffocate a little especially when it was busy on events nights. But what I love about them is you can reserve on their website and almost will never get turned down! Super lovely waiters.

  • 4/5 Jamie C. 4 years ago on Google
    I didn't try the food. Was there with friends and the staff was very good. The dj was ok but needs to read the crowd better and not mess with vibe if everyone is dancing

  • 5/5 Saber K. 1 year ago on Google
    Zulu’s vibe is one you look for if you aren’t a local looking for expats to meet and meet new people while drinking, eating and enjoying your evening. Great place to be with their diverse forms of entertainment. Give it a try….

  • 3/5 Imane H. 6 years ago on Google
    The food was ok. Some things could be better such as the quality of the meat. My steak was not tender and there is a gaz smell (maybe a gaz leak) in the restaurant. Above all the value for money is too strong (maybe lowering the prices a little bit).

    I've performed in nearly every bar in town. There's no friendlier or more dedicated crew than this place. The people are super chill as well. Best spot in Maadi.

    Loved the place and the atmosphere. They have a karaoke night every Saturday and it was a great experience. Staff were friendly and nice. Food was good but not the best steak I've had but it was good for the price. Their cocktails are also good. Honestly, loved the ambiance most.
