  • 5/5 Muhammad Redwanul H. 1 year ago on Google • 170 reviews
    We are really glad that we ended up with BeEJA to have our final lunch at cairo before leaving Cairo. Food was really great and the quantity was enough to share each dish with my wife and kids. Mixed grill was a good choice to taste multiple items from the grill section. MINI SHAWERMA MEAT was a great starter. Apart from food they have much to offer with the restaurant ambience, fabulous Nile view at the edge of Zamalak. If you are visiting Cairo, this should be on your wishlist to enjoy a nice evening. If you have young kids, it's better to try the afternoon time as evening will be crowded with shisha lovers.

    A decent Egyptian restaurant in Zamalek. Foods are very good. Definitely recommend this restaurant when you have visitors from out of Cairo. Not only foods but also view is amazing. This restaurant’s interior is also fancy so if you have anniversary with your lover then worth it to go. Might be kinda cold even it’s indoor seats. Staffs are nice. But sometimes take quite long time to get orders or a receipt.

  • 5/5 Esraa Osama A. 2 years ago on Google • 136 reviews
    I tried Beeja at Biota. The view was at its best. The service was good and the staff were helpful with us. I tried Djaaj Makhli with brown rice and fries, the chicken and rice tasted good but i didn't like the fries, i give the plate 7/10. My friends tried chicken casablanca and they said it tasted good. The prices per person is in a range of 150-400 depends on your order. It's a very nice outing for group of friends, family or a romantic date. And they have a birthday candle for the dessert in case you forgot 😁

    Great restaurant located right on the Nile. Youssef was an amazing server and gave great recommendations on what to order. I highly recommend the cheese sambousek, meat sambousek, and mini meat hawawshi as appetizers. For the entree the mixed grill and lamb chops were delicious. Highly recommend visiting.

    I'm not expert in Egyptian food but their molohea is just mind blowing. I rarely like places with only Egyptian food but this one I honestly like it so much because of 2 things: the food & the views. Perfect during sunset or in the morning. The service is also very good.

    This place is a fancy restaurant that mostly tourists go to for really good Egyptian food. We went during prime dinner hour and while it was very busy there were a lot of tables, so there was no wait. The dishes were amazing and surprisingly fast. The service was extremely attentive. The view is superb, even if you choose to eat inside. Most tables had a hookah. Finding the entrance was a little tricky; you are looking for the sign that says Biota, and from there you will be directed along a walkway and past a couple other restaurants to get to here.

    Really nice food, good selection, portion size reflects price. We were waited on by Amir and he was very good. The service is really good here. We were with our 4 children and we really enjoyed the food. Definitely will be coming back when in Cairo again

  • 4/5 Felipe R. 2 years ago on Google • 95 reviews
    Food is really nice and prices are fair considering the size of the potions! The view from the restaurant is great. The downside is that waiters are very invasive in asking people to leave TripAdvisor reviews. Also on the negative side, we were in a group of 5, and the waiter demanded that we ordered 5 dishes even though we wanted to share the food, so if you are going in a group with the intent to share, be aware of having to order many meals.

  • 4/5 Mina S. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is located on the tip of Zamalek Island; in the location where Sequoia used to be. It has one of the best views of the Nile including a full view of the only railway bridge across the Nile "Imbaba Bridge" Waiters are very friendly and helpful. All our orders came pretty quickly; only the check which came very delayed. It is very spacious with big tables which are lower than normal dining table. Given that this place is a cafe more than a restaurant, it allowed better conversations along with the comfy wide chairs BUT be ware if you are ordering a fork and knife meal. I ordered Sausage Feteer (Egyptian stile layered pie) since it can be a finger food. It came hot, perfectly layered, crispy and very tasty. We all loved it. I also tasted the chicken liver which was ok and the chicken sharkaseia which was tasteless. The menu is concise which I really liked. Prices are not cheap which is justifiable given the prime location.

    Not the best Egyptian food I had far from that. Tried pigeon in oven and moloukhia neither one are really worth a try... the mango juice was good, the decor too (not the chairs and the sitting area)

    Great casual spot with a stunning view of the Nile! The menu boasts a good combination of authentic local and regional dishes, with something for everyone. The service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was relaxed. Worth a visit if you are staying in Zamalek

    The food here is the highlight. The menu isn't extensive but they focus on getting their items right . We were a large group of 16 with 8 kids and we tried most of what's on the menu and all was good. The juices are all fresh. The service here is attentive and the waiter we had was quite knowledgeable about the menu. The service is also very fast, we waited less than ten minutes and food was served. Views here are also very nice. Little bit hot during the day so probably better to go near sunset.

    (Translated by Google) Great place on the banks of the Nile. Delicious traditional Egyptian food. Friendly and helpful staff. Prices are slightly above average, but the quality of food and service justifies them. Entrance through the "biota" establishment (Original) Отличное место на берегу Нила. Вкусная традиционная египетская еда. Дружелюбный персонал. Цены несколько выше среднего, но качество еды и обслуживания их оправдывает. Вход через заведение "биота"

    Great place for lunch or dinner, breathtaking view of Cairo and the Nile river, with super helpful and friendly staff. Our waiter Kamal was really accommodating, nice and professional. We tried the grilled mesahab chicken and grilled kofta and they were nice.

    Beautiful place with a lovely view, delicious food and excellent service My only comment is that the place is super expensive... I mean for 1 person Shisha, drink, appetiser and main dish you get to pay 1000 EGP!

    We wanted to have a nice dinner in Cairo and we found BeEJA while searching for a restaurant. Youssef tended to us. Wonderful ambience, amazing view, delicious food. From the starters till the desserts, Youssef recommended good options and we enjoyed the whole experience. We ordered a mixed grill platter, el mama salad and fattoush salad, fried eggplant, om Ali and konafa. Everything tasted delicious and flavorful. We had a wonderful evening. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Marwa K. 2 years ago on Google
    I had their signature dish which is meat cubes with rice, and it was WOW. The taste of this dish would remind you of home, and cosy memories. The restaurant also has a very nice outdoor area with a direct view to the Nile river. I highly recommend eating at BeEJA.

    Glad we found this place, the service and food were amazing! Lots of items on the menu to choose from. Shout out to Hassan (from Giza) and Walid for their kind and amazing service. I highly recommend the fried eggplant dish. We also got some complimentary mint tea after our meal which was nice and refreshing.

    One of the best restaurants in Zamalek! The food quality and service are unmatched! Everything is very delicious and the view out on the Nile is great. All of the staff was friendly and accommodating, even when weather turned bad. I am coming back every time I come to Cairo.

    The service in this restaurant is incredible, it is the best service we had in Egypt. Mohamed Montaser was great and even treated us to complimentary mint tea with our dessert. The food is also of very good quality and view is great on the nile. Do come to this restaurant (no need to book).

  • 5/5 Chenny 1 year ago on Google • 6 reviews
    Great tasty food. Good location and views. We got the pigeon oven bake, the mini meat hawawshi, lentil soup and the cheese feteer and the djaj mesahab (grilled chicken). All were delicious. Ordered way too much. It is on the expensive side. You can get great views of the Nile. Be patient and a table will open up even if all ‘tables are reserved’. Kamal our waiter was kind and attentive. Always asking if everything is ok. I wish they didn’t use plastic to cover their utensils. I know it’s to show the utensils are clean but let’s reduce plastic where we can.

  • 4/5 Nadine El S. 3 years ago on Google
    After Sequoia, Beeja had some large shoes to fill. The restaurant has a combination of Egyptian classics and some Lebanese selection which they execute with an overall okay taste and quality. Both the service and the view are great.

  • 5/5 Manal E. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is beautiful because it is on the Nile. We asked for perennial rice in the bath, mini hawushi, harrag potatoes and green salad. The food is all sweet and its quantity is good, except for the salad is bad. Olive oil tastes very little and its quantity is very small and two small pieces like the municipal salad are all hanging ... we had green tea And a sugar pie was dry without milk. It was very frank ... The calculation was reasonable in relation to the high restaurant prices .... I used to photograph for you to eat, but we were dead from hunger. I thought about pictures after we blew up the whole food ... I advise you to go there, but if a family will pay a decent amount ... (Original) المكان جميل لانه على النيل احنا طلبنا ارز معمر بالحمام و ميني حواوشي و بطاطس حرااق و سلطه خضراء الاكل في مجمله حلو و كميته كويسه ماعدا السلطه سيئه زيت الزيتون طعمه ظاهر كميتها قليله جدا و مقطعينها صغير زي السلطه البلدي كلها معلقتين ...اخدنا شاي اخضر و فطيره بالسكر ناشفه من غير لبن دي كانت تحفه الصراحه ..الحساب جاء معقول بالنسبه ل ارتفاع أسعار المطاعم ....كان نفسي اصور ليكم الاكل لكننا كنا ميتين من الجوع افتكرت اصور بعد ما نسفنا الاكل كله ... انصحكم بالذهاب هناك لكن لو عائله هيدفع مبلغ محترم ...

    A spacious restaurant with an amazing view... The design is great and insures that everyone sees the view. Very good and clean service. You have to order food, but there is a good variety of cold and hot mezzahs in addition to main dishes and sweet and savory "feteer". We tried the sausage (sogo2) one and loved it. We also liked the cheese sambousak and liver. The cheese and tomato wasn't the best on our most recent visit. Overall recommended for a big group as well as small groups or couples.
