Excellent place for some genuine Egyptian food, we tried different flavoured falafel and fool (fava beans), and everything was tasty, served promptly and with a smile. Overall, it was a nice experience!

Had an extra night in Cairo e decided to visite Zooba. I loved the atmosphere the decoration was on point very modern. We asked for a shakshouka a hawawshi and absolutely loved it we asked for more actually asked. We also tried the fries which I liked and the sweet rice pudin it was fine! We couldn’t pay by card so that was upsetting and it was a negative factor, couldn’t see why such a known restaurant didn’t accept card , for me as a tourist that had to go and take money from the atm with more taxes was a bummer

This is a popular eatery in Zamalek and we had to wait for a table to be seated. That said there are only 4 or 5 tables in the restaurant, should one want to sit in. Take-out option is available. In a normal day I would give this establishment a 5 star review, however, it merits only 4 stars on this visit. We had to wait around to be seated, which is acceptable under current circumstances. Once we were seated the aircon dripped onto our backs. This again we could overlook as at least the condensation didn't flavor the food. My only disappointment was my choice of food the koshary was not the best I have ever eaten. It was premixed and not separately served, presumably to save space and the chef ran out of fried onions. All in all the prices are fair and the food comes out fast. Seeing the popularity, maybe there is a need for a larger venue or expansion of this one.

If your looking for authentic Egyptian food away from touristic places this is the place to go to. Bustling all day long with locals , the dishes that's should be tried are the egg chakchouka Mdamas with tahini.

Very small place with limited farm-style table seating and a wall table (16-18ppl max). They have an extensive menu with some of the usual dishes you would find in most local restaurants. Although the seating was limited, I was seated relatively quickly but the food (a sandwich) took over 40mins to come from out. The food was ok, but the service needs vast improvements. I would think with so many tourists in and out of this place they would make an effort to do better. They brought me something else meal and vanished. Tip: The Zööba rice pudding -- the only thing I thoroughly enjoyed.

Nice trendy concept to the good old street foods of Egypt.

Mmmm… YESS!?! This place serves great food. Had the sausage plate and alexandrian Ful. Well-balanced, bright, and colourful visually and on the palate. A must get is the Zooba rice pudding. Must.

I had the koshari, which was slightly better than I expected it would be. Nice vibes in the restaurant, and would like to come back to try the other things on the menu. However, menu seemed limited.

Very small about 4 tables for 10 people max. But it’s pretty good food and very reasonable price. Most vegetarian but I recommend meat with rice. Opens during Ramadan at 10AM

Definitely worth a visit. Delicious food in a friendly environment. I wish the restaurant sold the T-shirts the staff wear, they are so cool and I would definitely have bought one!

Well seasoned Egyptian fare, quick service, pleasant service. Sever missed one item when ordering which was likely a language barrier issue. Definite repeat and will get the basterma eggs for sure next time. The sausage plate with rice and stir fried veg was very good.

Very tasty delicious oriental Egyptian food Best is Alexandrian foul, Spicy Falafel, kebda is so good, hawawashi good but not the best.

Came here a couple times with my husband - we tried the classic tameeya vegan sandwich, their fries and my husband tried the cheese hawawshi. All the food was so delicious, served quickly by the friendly staff and so so reasonably priced!! In fact, made for a very cheap meal. Would absolutely recommend!

Chilled restaurant in a upscale neighbourhood of Cairo. The menu is basic and does decent interpretations of Egyptian street food. This restaurant is also listed in the mena best 50 rankings.

Got to check out Zooba, Zamalek branch on our Egypt trip, the place is not too big so you might wanna get there when they are not too busy, the food is good, and inexpensive, must try when you are around town. There is also a coffee shop just across the street.

Best Egyptian breakfast ever. We ordered falafel (very different from what I’ve tried before…crunchier fresher), shakshouska was very nice when eaten with sweet harissa (spicy, sweet bell pepper dips). Highly recommended! P.S.: They have branches in New York as well!

One of the best restaurants In Cairo, everything is really fresh and most of items organic, very clean food, traditional food in modern way, i really recommend not to miss this place if you visit Cairo.

Great place for Egyptian food. We came here for breakfast and it was hands down the best choice. Try the falafel and the eggplant with fava beans (it's the one on the right in the photo, I can't remember the name). It's definitely worth to try.

Of you want to experience authentic Egyptian street food in a different way this is a good place! I tried the koshary and rice pudding and all and all both are good. The place is unique and cozy.

Zooba Nice and happy atmosphere. Friendly and polite staff. Nice music. dinner which suite for after party time.Prompt service without exaggerated waste of time. Being in the heart of Zamalek and special 26 July area is a big plus. Also , I would like to recommend to have other kind of food variety and specially the basic sweet like rice pudding Good luck guys!!! Over all thank you Keep it up

Excellent local Egyptian restaurant, all the dishes are made as the tradition, the taste is amazing. The price is excellent for the quality of the food. Super recommended

Cute little place with small tables. Four of us visited this place during our trip to Egypt. We tried the small size of tameeyas (spicy and the brinjal ones) , Both were good. The fakhfakina(mixed fruit juice) was quite nice. The tameeya salad was good as well. The rice pudding was a bit sweet but good to have a taste and share among yourselves

This a perfect place for foreigners to try Egyptian food. Lots of options are available in varying portions which makes trying easier. Our favorites were the sandwich versions of Tameeya, especially the spicy one. Would also recommend trying Kosheri, Ful and the Zooba special rice pudding. We loved the taste so much, that we took take aways before our flight out. In case you prefer travelling with the metro, would recommend going to the Zooba in El Maadi Station, which has slightly more seating places as well.

While the venue was nice from the seating, the area is quite small with barely enough seats for 15 people, not great for busy days. The service was alright, however the bathrooms didn't live up to it. The food can be hit or miss. While the Molokheyya chicken is quite dry, the Egyptian beef sausage pasta was excellent. I'd also recommend the Dawood Basha Meatballs! All in all, I'd say there are better places, however, if it's nearby or you like to mark off every place on your list, it's a good place to go. Tips are always appreciated. :-)

Nice Egyptian traditional food, good quality reasonable price the staff are friendly and welcoming, you must be patient to eat in as the place is small and the service is slow.

Great food and service! We ordered plates of Alexandrian Ful, Taamia pieces, Shakshouka and the house fries. Overall the food was great and authentic and tasted homey and delicious, Ful was well seasoned and the vegetables were fresh, Taamia was crunchy outside and fluffy inside, Shakshouka and fries truly tasted homemade! There's usually a waiting list so expect to wait around 10 to 15 mins before being seated, unless you're ordering take away. The place is a bit small so might not fit large groups, and the stairs to the toilet are tricky, but the toilet itself is very clean. The items are a tad overpriced though! But the food quality is good so it's worth a try.

Good brunch

Waiters are so rude and they don’t make you feel welcomed into the place as they didn’t have a warm exterior and the food came cold, not even close to warm and the taste was mediocre. They didn’t provide a big selection of drinks to even try to enjoy with the food. All they had was diet pepsi and karkadel. It was a bad experience for me and I will never recommend this place here unless you are really starving to death.

The restaurant not only serves great food but also stands out for its speedy service, a which was a pleasant surprise compared to other restaurants in Egypt 👍🏻 Ordered cheese hawawshi, tameeya salad, fakhfakin and hisbiscus juice. Everything was so delicious! Highly recommended.

Zooba's breakfast shines with authentic Egyptian flavors, clearly outshining the service and ambiance. The space may be small and bustling, but the delicious food makes up for the wait and the service. A must-try for food over frills. #AuthenticTaste"

Good food and great vibes !! The only issue is the limited tables

Worth the money.. quality over quantity

(Translated by Google) One of the best and cleanest restaurants that you can enter, despite its small size and simplicity intended, but it is really a 5 star restaurant All employees also respect youth like honey (Original) من الافضل وانظف المطاعم الي ممكن تدخلها رغم صغر حجمه وبساطته المقصوده إلا أنه فعلا مطعم 5 ستار كمان العاملين كله احترام شباب زي العسل

Small and vivid spot where locals and tourists blend together. Quality of food is nice and fresh!

great food, the best Fallafel I’ve ever had. Attendants are friendly and the food comes pretty fast. Fair price. There are only a few tables but we didn’t have to wait more than 15min for a spot. It was totally worth the visit. Cheers from brazil.

Excellent place! Tried different things in the menu and everything was good! Ingredients feel fresh. The house rice pudding for dessert was so good!

I adored zooba once I tried it. It has a vey cozy nice place to sit with the atmosphere you can live in it as if you are in a hostel restaurant in europe, and at the same time with popular traditional egyptian dishes that is extremely tasty, amazing flavour and clean, surrounded by really warm environment and nice staff.

The restaurant apparently won some fifty best restaurants award and for a very good reason, the food is very good and cheap by American standards. Rice pudding, koshari, and especially the hawashi we’re all really good. The only thing that disappointed me was the chicken soup which was very mediocre.

A micro place (has only seats for 10-12 people) but where the food is really good and the prices are not crazy. I do recommend having a meal here during your stay in Cairo, if you are lucky enough to get a table (no reservations, just show up).

My experience at Zooba was excellent. I had the eggs and basterma, 2 taamiyas with chilli and lemon, a white cheese dip with tomatoes, and rice pudding for dessert. I was mainly taken away by the taamiya which was so flavorful and the rice pudding which had a great aftertaste. The staff is friendly and the place looks great. Will definitely come again when I’m back in town.

highly recommended👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 very tasty food, everything i tried was amazingly delicious with very good prices

Great street food, fresh and tasty. Friendly service.

Nice location, good atmosphere, friendly staff and excellent service

Food is good also the service but the place is too small Maybe if they will extend the place will be more good place.alot of customers waiting because table is un available like they have 10pcs of table..

The food was average at best. The portions were deceptively small. I ordered the chicken shawarma, the hawawshi sandwich (stuffed toasted pita sandwich with minced beef), the rice pudding and mint lemonade. The only food item that had any delightful flavour was the mint in the lemonade. Everything else was all crunch no flavour. The service was also subpar as the server barely acknowledged my presence in the restaurant. I won’t attribute that to “language barrier” as I have been in tons of restaurants where the server and I communicated finely with smiles and signs. The ambience is a cool tiny resto. But Nonetheless, this place was overall underwhelming to me.

Nice option to become familiar with contemporary Egyptian street food. Very friendly staff and convenient location 👍🏼

It’s like a fast food store but for Egyptian cuisine! Friendly service and cosy restaurant that would hold about 15-20 people max, food comes out fast and was extremely tasty and fresh. We really enjoyed our meal here and it also packed with western tourists so also refreshing to chat with others about their travels and perspectives on Egypt and Cairo

Incredible Egyptian food with tons of vegan and vegetarian options. Reasonably priced too.

Das Essen hat uns sehr gut geschmeckt. Die Preise sind für die Portionen angemessen. Wir empfehlen, verschiedene Gerichte zu probieren, da alles ägyptische Spezialitäten sind. Das Personal ist freundlich, mit der Sprache ist es als Tourist allerdings ein bisschen schwierig. Schön wäre, wenn die Bedienung noch ein bisschen mehr englisch spräche.

Delicious and clean traditional Egyptian food. Great place for a vegan to feast. Cheap without affecting the quality of the food. Only downside is the tight space which some might like as it feels casual and homey.

Modern take on local dishes. The food was delicious. This establishment is small maybe 6 to 7 tables, so sometimes there might be a queue to sit down. Long waiting time from between when we ordered until the food came. Waiters are not super attentive or are busy so you have to get their attention.

Great food, tasty, great view A little expensive

Food is very good. I read many different opinions. However the food is great. The space itself is a bit small and not very appetizing. And service indeed is a bit slow but it was alright. I'd come here again

Some of the best Egyptian food I've ever eaten, coming from a local

Great food, trendy and modern dine in option for a great price. Definitely ordered too much since we thought the low price meant not a lot of food. English menu from Dec. 2020

Excellent food, very friendly staff.

(Translated by Google) It was not a successful experience, the food was very modest and not served hot, so I asked for insight and a French fries sandwich and the food was very cold, the insight was literally sluggish, and the potatoes were cold, and when I talked to them about the subject, they said that they are pischelos or eat in the refrigerator and show it Serve it by Ali Talaa because it is fresh, medicine. Heat the food, warm it or leave it. It takes the heat of the place, whatever it is, but it is not cold or cold! Do not eat again for them (Original) لم تكن تجربة ناجحة، الاكل متواضع للغاية و كمان مش بيتقدم ساخن، طلبت بصارة و سندوتش بطاطس محمرة و الاكل كان بارد جدا، البصارة كانت حرفيا متلجة، و البطاطس باردة و لما اتكلمت معاهم في الموضوع، قالوا انهم بيشيلو ا الاكل في التلاجة و يطلعه يقدمه علي طولع علشان يكون طازةً طب سخنوا الاكل او دفوه او خلوه ياخد حرارة المكان اي حاجة بس ميكنش متلج او بارد كدة! مظنش حروح تاني اكل عندهم

Great hawashi!

Great food!!!

Good food. Beef sausage pasta is noteworthy. The shank braise needed something fresh to brighten the sauce. Service was good, but they seemed stressed/tired.

Nice and modern place where you can try different Egyptian street foods. We had the traditional sausage, cheese hawawshi and the street sides for two. All was amazing! Very fresh flavours and the best Egyptian baladi bread we had in our trip. Also recommend the hibiscus limonade. Only downside is that the place is small and due to its popularity you'll probably need to wait to get a table. If you're in a rush, you can order take away.

Small place oriental Egyptian food falafel was so delicious 👍🏼

(Translated by Google) The restaurant is very excellent and the prices are reasonable The menu is very varied and excellent The only drawback is that the place is very small I think it is very difficult to repeat the visit in light of the Corona epidemic because the place is limited But with you Ali Al-Delfry 👍 (Original) المطعم ممتاز جدا الاسعار معقولة المنيو متنوع جدا ممتاز العيب الوحيد ان المكان صغير جدآ جدآ اظن ان صعب جدا أكرر الزيارة في ظل وباء كرونا لان المكان ضيق لكن معاكم علي الدلفري 👍
