    Lovely restaurant with romantic Indian vibes. We ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and vegetable biryani. All 3 dishes were nice, tasty and flavorful. However, we were shocked by the quantity of the biryani… very tiny. Both chicken plates quantities were good. Overall, the dishes were tasty. l loved how the plates and cup are beautifully engraved and the design of the restaurant. The staff were also very polite and friendly.

    Isn’t so easy to find a good Indian, anywhere… but this restaurant it’s very good! I like that they don’t have many tables, it’s a quiet place, you enter and the incense surround you. All the waiters are attentive and the food quality it’s superb. Prices aren’t bad, maybe too high for local but definitely not for tourists. The attention to details left me wordless. The garlic bread was just too good, as the butter chicken and the biryani. Liked a little bit less their curry chicken style.

    Very nice authentic Indian place! Food is very good with some vegetarian option dishes. The view on the pyramids is totally worth it. Place is very clean and the staff there are very professional.

    RIP Eat & Barrel! This is where I used to go to unwind surrounded by the magic of the Nile: Watch spectacular sunsets, enjoy sweet mornings after hospital night shifts and meditate Cairo by night. Introduced to me by my friend Merhan Zulfikar in late 2016, this is where I would escort guests to impress them with a luxurious ambiance, exquisite alcoholic cocktails, good music and a great expensive cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Suddenly it's not longer Eat & Barrel! Changed the name to "The Roof", changed the furniture to lower tasteless quality, changed the menu to lower cheaper cuisine, changed the entire staff altgough still friendly and lost their liquor license, which we all know, demotes the quality of any establishment. Saddest of all: The owner didn't change! He conscientiously chose to shoot his own Nile establishment at its foot! Why? Why? Why?

    What not to love? It’s the best Indian restaurant in town, renovated and relocated overlooking the magnificent view of the great pyramids. A must try for sure. The Dal accompanied by garlic Nan and the butter chicken is to die for.

    Food was very tasty but the reason I gave 2 star is because of their pathetic service. They definitely need better staff, we ordered a dish on the menu but the server asked us not to order since it is not good but we ordered anyways and that was the best dish chef made😜

    This restaurant is located inside the Mena House Hotel (Marriott). I am not Indian myself so I cannot really tell you if it super authentic or not. However, what I can tell you that it was really really good. I only gave it 4 stars because the drinks were terrible. I ordered two different drinks and both didn't not taste good (as in I didn't not drink them). Service was good, but I have had better. If you are looking for some real good Indian food with an out of this world view, this is your go to place. You get to see the pyramids if you are seated outdoors. You cannot see the pyramids from most indoor tables.

    Had a Paneer Makhani and Garlic Naan for starters. Tiny Tiny Portion sizeThe slabs of chese were too hard and the daal tasteless, besideds, the garlic naan had barely any garlic! For main course I had d Butter Chicken.....food wasnt tasty, lacking in presentation, not even worth half of its price. Good location and nice environment and decor, hence the 3 stars.

    I had a wonderful experience eating Indian food at this 5-star restaurant. The Moghul Room offers high quality Indian food. All of the food was so flavorful! I especially loved the Lamb Biryani and Palak Paneer. Marian, the restaurant manager, was also very pleasant, friendly, and welcoming. She was so nice to talk to and even offered a complimentary dessert (Gulab Jamun), which was out of this world! For sure, this is the best Indian food that I have tried in Egypt. The ambiance of the place is also very authentic and serene. I am already planning my next trip to Mena House with some friends just for their delicious Indian food and quality service.

    I don't understand how this can be beneath 4-5 stars. The food was really good (4 stars, 5 stars for the price) and the ambiance and service was excellent. Only downside is the lack of a view. The real kicker here though is the Mango Lassi. Get the Mango Lassi: it is the best I've ever had. That alone makes this place 5 stars.

    I love Indian food, and the food here was fairly okay - the service could be improved (it’s very slow), as well as the general atmosphere inside... I thought there was something wrong with the lighting of the place and music.

    Authentic interior decor but food is average. For the price, not a recommendation if you are craving Indian. The depth of flavor just is not there. The staff has poor knowledge of dishes. I will go back there once more to provide detailed feedback while i eat & be selective on what I order as vegetarian & that’s my last chance at this place. Only reason I give it a try coz I stay there when travelling.

    Good, not great food. You have to eat inside even though outside pyramid view tables are nice. Masala lassi arrived as unflavored Lassi. Masala Chai is flavored. Told I can have it spicy. They added chili powder. Much more expensive than googlemaps version of menu and getting an Uber back was a fail that instituted our new policy of only restaurants close to our hotel, which is not the Marriott.

    I want to say this was one of the best restaurants I ate at in my trip in Egypt. I highly recommend you get the butter chicken, it was the best I’ve ever had. Nabil and the staff took such good care of us. Highly recommend this restaurant 10/10.

    My wife and I had dinner at the Moghul Room tonight and were not disappointed. We have eaten at many different Indian restaurant and this one was one of the best. The food was great, the service was wonderful, and the view was amazing. I highly recommend their Mango Lassi too! Note: the restaurant was a little tricky to find. Google Maps has it pinned to the hotel's parking lot but it is actually a little bit northest in the same building as the 139 Pavilion restaurant.

    My wife and I had dinner here and the food was quite good. The mango lassi was excellent and very fresh. The service was very professional. The highlight was the venue itself, it is very calm, there is an amazing view of the pyramids and the very elegant interior was nicely lit. It’s a bit pricey, but worth the experience.

    With a gorgeous view of the pyramids fabulous food, excellent service and great interior architecture, the Moghul room is an oasis. The staff was incredible. Our daughter needs to eat gluten free as she has celiac and she worked with us. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and spiced to perfection. The biryani so flavorful. Wonderful place

  • 5/5 Miata L. 2 years ago on Google
    THIS is the menu and food experience I was looking for. 139 was a bit of a let down but Moghul made a great recovery. Everything we ate was excellent and they asked us our heat preferences which was fantastic. We had the multiple meats platter with shrimp, lamp and chicken, palak panwer, saffron rice and other sides. It was a bit dark but I guess that's the ambiance they are going for. My older mom couldn't read the menu though lol, lights via cell phone worked out well. Perhaps they should think about lighted menus or lamps on the tables? Other then that I will eat here everyday if I could! 💜

  • 1/5 Rajeshwari V. 1 year ago on Google
    Really bad service. Very disappointed. We called and we were told that we can walk-in and no reservation was required. We show up and the restaurant was less than 10% occupied. They tell me service is only with reservation. Another gentleman tells me it’s ok and they can serve. Once we sit we were asked to get out in 30 minutes. The waiters were not paying attention. The folks were rude. We had to rush to complete the food. All in all bad experience.

    Perfect atmosphere, luxury and well decorated Food was ok compared to real indian the chicken tikka was awful , my main problem was with service nabil was not professional serving our table as he was polite and smiling to other tables depends on the nationality maybe I hope they work more on their hospitality

  • 1/5 Andrew S. 1 year ago on Google
    Very disappointed in the food and service. My meal was not what I asked for. When asked how I wanted my meal I said spicy 3 times. The chicken curry came out very bland. That was after we waited 30 minutes after being seated before someone came to take our drink order. About 30 minutes after that a food order. Now to preface this. This was at 8 o'clock. There was only 4 tables seated in the restaurant at the time with 3 staff members walking around with a man in a suit as well. Extremely disappointing service for my last night.

    I really like Eat and Barrel, the menu seems much reduced, however that's understandable in these times. The food was great yesterday, my friend snd I shared a pizza and a muxed fajita. It was excellent but only one wrap withtge fajita is nit enough. We were given an extra when asked but of course charged extra. Guys, this is not realistic! fajitas are wraps that you fill, without a wrap its sizzling meat. This dish needs two wraps included. And please don't make them smaller to compensate giving two, or put the price up etc etc I worked in hospitality for years, small things that really don't cost much, make a big difference. Thanjs

    Everything is fine except for the waiters. They kept acting weird and were really annoying. If I decided to never go there again it would be because of them. Probably the managers are the reason they were acting weird so they carry part of the blame too.
