    The restaurant was really clean and air conditioned. Menu was in English though the staff speak limited English. Mango juice was really thick and fresh, extremely delicious. The lamb shank was one of the best things I had in Egypt and it had an amazing tomato based sauce to go with it. There are limited vegetarian options so had to choose one meat option and ask them to take out the meat. The tahini was a bit thin and watery for my liking. Prices were reasonable.

    Food is delicious, specially Tarb and lamp chops. Place is very clean and servants are polite. Also ready to cook meals are well prepared and marinated. Prices are reasonable. You gave variety of payment methods.

    This is by far the best place in Cairo for BBQ. It’s clean, the quality of food is amazing, and the service is the best. This is not a understatement. When I come to Egypt, I personally make time to come here before I leave. And always take away with me to the airport. It is seriously that good. I hope when you read this, you will give this restaurant a try, you will not regret it.

    Nice clean restaurant. I am not very sure about the taste, I was expecting a more traditional Egyptian kebab taste, it simply wasn't there. I be fair, didn't try everything, I would go back there again for some authentic dishes.

  • 5/5 Noor H. 7 months ago on Google
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an unforgettable experience. The Pigeon Stuffed with a mix of Rice & Freekeh was a culinary masterpiece, and the Mulukhiyah and Kofta were equally exceptional. The flavors were rich and tantalizing, a true delight for the taste buds. But it wasn't just the food that made the evening special. The atmosphere at Eldahan is inviting and perfect for hosting guests. The ambiance is cozy, and the service is top-notch. Whether it's a romantic dinner or a gathering with friends, this place has the perfect setting. Highly recommended! 🍽️👌🏼✨

    After traveling to places outside the city, the food was exactly what we needed to represent what we will remember most about why we love about Egypt. With rich flavors that surprised our palette, you will enjoy foods that satisfy your soul. The service is top-notch; there is obvious care and attention given to all details of this dining experience. Who knows you too might get asked to have your picture taken with the the owner and his staff!

    I have been an El Dahan customer for quite almost 6 years now, but all through food ordering apps, getting the food delivered at home (from the same branch, though). However, this is the first time I visit the branch in person, and let me tell you, the food doesn't compare to what I have been eating during all those past years. The grilled chicken is succulent, hot and fresh out of the grill. The soup is splendid, the only drawback was that the arugula in the arugula & pomegranate salad was wilted and a bit more bitter than usual. Other than that, the staff is friendly, the environment and ambience are okay, nothing super, but the food was great. Definitely would visit again, but would think twice before ordering that salad again. Oh, the prices won't burn a hole in your wallet, yes, it's a bit pricey, but nowadays what isn't?
