    Brilliant little place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It's a small place, easy to walk by but it is well worth seeking out and trying. The staff (2 ladies) were so friendly on our arrival and took time to explain the menu. We opted for 1 Liver with side salad, 1 chicken pane with spaghetti pomodoro with side salad, we also had a cappuccino and a fresh lemon juice - all for 190egp. The food was delicious. Prepared and cooked with love and well presented. There is a lovely small balcony, with just 1 table and 2 chairs on the first floor that allows you to sit and watch the hustle and bustle of Cairo as it goes by. We will be returning to try more dishes. On our way out I asked about breakfast and was given a taster of their breakfast bread which was absolutely delicious. It was similar to Moroccan bread that I have had in a Riad for breakfast. Light, almost pastry like, similar to a flat croissant. I can't wait to return. See you there soon. The picture of the chicken pane doesn't do it justice, there is another filet of chicken underneath the top one, that doesn't show. One of the best and lightest chicken pane that I have had and I've had quite a few in my 14 years here!

    The restaurant staff are empowered women. It was a very delicious experience, the staff friendly, the food is so tasty. I recommend visiting it and enjoying the Egyptian taste. 4 stars cuz of some flaws, the upper floor doesn't have air conditioning, Pay more attention to the cleanliness of the bathroom..

    I am changing my review. I went there a second time but the food was absolutely disgusting. Most of the grill items were burnt. We were served in plates that didn't appear to be clean. Most of their furniture is broken. No proper ac or ventilation

    مصر كما لم تراها أعيننا . فيلم اخر لتفاصيل الحياة المصرية في المدينة و الريف و الأسواق الشعبية و المناطق الأثرية . الفيلم يعود للثلاثينات أيضا و يعتقد انه انتاج 1938 . و لقد قمنا بوضع أسم مكان المشهد باللغة العربية بإيجاز شديد . مشاهدة ممتعة . ردا على أسئلة المتابعين : التصوير السنمائي الملون في تلك الفترة الزمنية كان مكلفا و لكن متاحا . "تكنيكولور" هو تقنيةتصوير سينمائي ملون أبتكرت في عام 1916 ثم تحسنت على مدى عدة عقود. وكانت هذه هي تقنية الألوان الرئيسية الثانية، بعد "كاينماكولور" البريطانية 1909، وكانت تكنيكولور هي تقنية الألوان الأكثر استخداما على نطاق واسع في هوليوود من عام 1922 إلى عام 1952. و في 1935 ظهرت تقنية كوداكروم و اجفاكولور

  • 4/5 Muhammad F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is unique by their way of making food. They offer different delicious platters that reminds you of your mother's cooking. I have tried pasta with red sauce and fried pané and also sujok in another time and it's really good. If you are tired of eating fast food on the way this is the right place to treat yourself with a homemade like food. Their prices are quite reasonable too. Enjoy your meal. 😋

    We needed a late night quick meal and this was a good walk from our hotel. Food was prepared quickly and staff friendly. Some may not be keen on the cleanliness, no toilets here to use. We got two medium kofte wrap with onion and peppers and they tasted great. Very cheap at 40 EGP per Medium Kofte. Limited space to sit inside ( max seating 2 x 2 tables) so you may need to takeaway but we went around 11pm and got a seat for 2. I believe it was cash only as i saw no sign to say we could pay by card (visa)

    The staff is friendly , the place is cozy, the grilled chicken,salads and the potato was great and delicious, and the rice wasn't good enough. No variety of rice . But overall it was a good experience. I would like to try them again.
