    A small little restaurant inside the luxurious Intercontinental hotel that has live music playing downstairs in the evenings which is amazing. The restaurant itself is classy and beautiful. Asian food is so hard to find in Egypt so I'm very grateful for this place - even though it's not as authentically Thai in it's flavours as it could be, good food is good and we enjoyed our dinner very much. Would definitely come back!!

    The best Thai restaurant in Cairo! I love Thai food. I have been to Thailand, and I used to work at a Thai owned and operated restaurant in the US, so I know what the food should taste like. They do a fantastic job here! I have been several times now (living in Cairo 1.5 years, tried all the Thai spots in Cairo, this one is the best, and I will be back again). Menu photos for those curious about the prices (photos taken March 12th, 2023).

    5 FOOD! 3 SERVICE! Authentic Thai Cuisine! The SOUPS may have been my favorite part. The Tom Kha Coconut soup and Tom Yam Spicy shrimp were delicious and took me back to Thailand. ALL Dishes were plated and presented well and tasted DELICIOUS! We also ordered wine, spicy beef salad, spring rolls, and two entrees! My only issue was that they did not recommend the ‘Tasting Menu’ to my partner and I after seeing us order several courses! It would have been more cost effective and we would have gotten a chance to try more dishes. I couldn’t tell if it was the language barrier, racism or simple oversight on the part of our server. (We are Ghanaian, When I asked ‘why?’ no one could explain, yet it was offered to a table next door to ours) Overall GOOD experience. Just wish this restaurant was overlooking the NILE like their Italian one.

    First off came here for my wife's birthday on our last night in the hotel. Walked in and the decor is amazing. We were greeted so warmly by all the staff. The food was amazing!!!!!! And I mean everything!!! I ordered the chef's recommend meal and my wife ordered shrimp fried rice and the egg rolls and vegetable noodles. Also the seafood soup was great. Last but not least I want to thank the staff...Hany, Abdullah, and Wael we're amazing

    Bird cage restaurant was really good and the service did an amazing job. Samy spoke many languages and had a very professional attitude and good humor. Spring rolls, pat Thai and salmon among our favorites

  • 5/5 Randi C. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent service and really tasty food. Everything was really good. I had the chicken and beef skewers, noodle and beef soup and the duck for my main. The sauce with the duck was awesome. My husband had the shrimp, chicken soup and lamb and he enjoyed it all as well.

    Loved birdcage ! I was a bit wary of a hotel restaurant but Birdcage exceeded my expectations in every way. The ambiance was lovely (candle lit and peaceful), the service excellent, and the food was delicious. We are so glad we gave it a chance ! Thank you for the wonderful service and lovely, tranquil meal.

    Birdcage .. the unique Thai experience.. in an ideal ambience.. unbeatable service quality and warm professional staff.. and selective guests.. the welcome drink, the starters, salads, main dishes even and most the chef selections are but master pieces of art and taste.. a really fulfilling experience that keep us coming back for 25years.. the highlights are the great hosts from restaurant managers Mohamed & Ehab to the ideal hosts like Wael Sobhy.. the ultimate Thai cuisine right in place at Semiramis intercontinental.. a must go!

    Visiting BirdCage 3 years later, we were fearful that it would not hold up to the memories we had of our experience. I was very happy that it still exceeds expectations and holds up as the best Thai place in Cairo, and one of the very best dining experiences in the whole city. A great place for a chill and private date, with amazing food; and exceptional service. Looking forward to going there, again and again and again.....

    I'm Thai and asking for real thai taste. Chef seems like he knew what he was doing. Feel like I was at thai restaurant in Thailand. All food are tasty. Customer service was amazing too. If there is 10 stars choice I would rate 10 stars.

    We feel so lucky to have found this Thai hidden gem in the heart of Cairo! It is located in the luxury hotel Intercontinental Semiramis, and as the hotel, the restaurant provides you with the same feeling of luxury. The staff was incredible and adapted to our needs and provided recommendations on the menu based on our likings. Especially the staff members that served and helped us during our dining experience, Hany and Wahil. We ended up ordering the spring rolls, chicken satay, green curry and pad thai, followed by some red wine and fried banana for dessert. Not only the flavours took us to a little getaway to south eastern asia, but the decoration they were presented in was outstanding. We loved every single one of the dishes and if you are unsure with what to order, totally recommend them (and please finish off with the delicious fried banana balls!) Birdcage is IDEAL for a romantic date or to celebrate on a special occasion. My only regret is not being able to dine here more than once during our trip!

    Very delicious meal, by Egypt's standards. I would recommend if you are looking for a nice and satisfying meal. I would not give it 5 stars because one of the dishes was sub-par but the overall it was delicious.

    Birdcage at Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino delighted all my senses! 😍 The tropical-themed ambiance, complete with lush greenery and exotic decor, makes you feel like you're dining in a luxurious bird sanctuary. The service was exceptional - attentive, friendly, and prompt, making us feel like honored guests. 🦚🤝 Their menu is a fusion of Asian flavors, offering an exciting array of Thai and Pan-Asian dishes. 🍽️ A paradise for those who crave exotic flavors. Food presentation was a visual feast - every dish looked like a piece of edible art. 🎨 Taste and flavor were a true revelation, with each dish offering a harmonious balance of spices and ingredients. 😋 Birdcage truly transported us to the heart of Asia. Portion sizes were generous, and the pricing was justified given the quality of the cuisine and the enchanting atmosphere. 💰💖 Cleanliness and hygiene were commendable, ensuring a pleasant and comfortable dining experience. 👌 Located at Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino, Birdcage is a hidden oasis in the heart of the city, easily accessible with ample parking available. 🚗 Special highlights include their signature cocktails, which perfectly complement the exotic flavors of their dishes. 🍹 Birdcage at Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino offers an extraordinary dining experience that will keep me coming back for more! ❤️❤️❤️

    Went here for dinner one night in Cairo with my family. Walked from across the street, and were so pleased by our meal. Didn’t have Tofu on the menu, but our friendly waiter Mahmoud replaced our green chicken curry and made it vegetarian. All our food was delicious with lots of flavor, beautiful atmosphere, and good service! Definitely recommend!

    One of the best Thai restaurants I’ve been to. Easy to get to from the hotel lobby going up a flight of stairs. The menu is well organized and the dishes were flavourful and very moderate use of salt. The ambiance is excellent with quiet water fountains surrounding the restaurant and calming music playing from the lobby. Food was slightly delayed but I was impressed with the taste and presentation.

    (Translated by Google) I associate Thai cuisine with aromas, tastes, brightness. And here on a plate (I took sea bass) some kind of mishmash with an abundance of onions and mushrooms. Well so-so Thai food. There are a lot of staff, and they are loudly discussing something. In general, I did not like it Although strawberry fresh was very good (Original) У меня тайская кухня ассоциируется с ароматами, вкусами, яркостью. А тут на тарелке (брал сибаса) какая то мешанина с обилием лука и грибов. Ну так себе тайская еда. Персонала много, че то громко обсуждают. В общем не понравилось Хотя вот клубничный фреш очень хорош был

    Not authentic Thai, it's close but you can tell substitute ingredients have been used. I ordered shrimp Pad Thai. It was missing condiments suchas the fresh crispiness of beans sprouts or garlic chives and crunch of peanuts. Peanuts had been mixed through the dish which made them soft. A little plate of accompaniments such as pickled radishes and chilli's would be very nice so you can control your own heat levels. The shrimps were cooked perfectly. Hubby had crispy duck. It was very very crispy, to the point of being dry. The accompanying salad was very good! There was not enough sauce to help with the dryness of the overall dish. I think for the price, it's not good enough. The service is impeccable. Very professional and pleasant waiters. 10/10 for service. Not great ambience here either on the 2nd floor foya area. Not cozy or romantic. We would not eat here again. There are better food options in Cairo for half the price.

    We came here to celebrate an occasion. Khaled and Samy were the ones overlooking our lunch and service. Really enjoyed it thanks to them with their cherishing smiles. They were overlooking every small detail to make our experience unforgettable. Thanks to them we enjoyed our meal and had a very good laugh with them. Will definitely recommend coming here.
