If
you
are
Yemeni
then
this
place
is
probably
great.
If
you
are
a
tourist
visiting
Egypt,
it
will
be
average
at
best.
The
restaurant
was
busy
at
2pm
on
a
Sunday
and
we
were
offered
a
poorly
situated
table
near
the
cleaning
station
at
the
rear
of
the
restaurant,
hidden
behind
a
pillar.
We
asked
for
a
better
table
and
sat
only
for
a
couple
of
minutes
before
being
moved
to
a
better
table
in
the
heart
of
the
restaurant.
Most,
99%
of
customers,
I
assume
are
Yemeni,
because
I
could
see
no
Egyptians
eating
here.
The
seats
are
extremely
well
padded
and
comfortable.
The
staff
are
attentive
although
busy
and
a
lovely
lady
took
the
time
to
explain
the
menu
in
English
for
me.
Service
was
good,
the
staff
are
smartly
dressed
and
the
place
looks
clean.
This
restaurant
is
obviously
a
favourite
amongst
the
local
Yemini
community
and
it
has
a
quick
turnover,
canteen
style
eating
feel
about
it.
Tables
are
covered
in
a
new,
single
use,
thin
plastic
sheet
prior
to
dining.
We
had
a
fish
dish
which
was
very
pleasant
indeed.
Due
to
people
raving
about
it
on
reviews
here,
we
also
ordered
the
beef
fassah
(excuse
the
spelling).
The
portion
was
tiny,
barely
covering
the
bottom
of
the
tagine
dish.
There
were
around
8
small
shards
of
sharp
bone
in
my
tiny
Portion
as
well
as
a
good
amount
of
fat,
ligament
and
vein.
The
bread,
as
you
can
see
from
the
photo
was
enormous,
fresh,
warm
and
delicious,
the
fresh
baba
gnoush
was
also
excellent.
I
had
a
chance
to
see
other
dishes
served
to
those
around
me
and
quite
frankly
the
meat
dishes
all
looked
very
fatty,
with
a
good
amount
bone
and
gristle,
so
probably
less
than
half
of
it
was
actually
edible
and
the
chicken
dishes
looked
mainly
boiled
as
the
skin
had
very
little
external
colouring
from
cooking.
These
are
just
my
observations
from
my
visit,
both
good
and
not
so
good.
I
wouldn't
put
you
off
going
but
I
will
not
be
returning.
I
have
places
within
walking
distance
that
are
better
suited
for
me
in
downtown
Cairo
and
this
was
a
taxi
ride
away.
