This is by far my favourite place to have grilled chicked and kebab since I was a child, the Quality remains unbeatable over the years.

We were disappointed with this restaurant. Lovely setting with gorgeous views of Nile. Food was average and nothing special. Customer service was frustrating.We felt meal was overpriced and did it reflect the positive reviews we had read.

Reserve ahead for a ringside seat near the Nile and enjoy watching the disco boats with neon-flashing palm trees whisk by! Excellent Middle-Eastern food which inevitably is too much for Westerners - so under-order if you, like me, are uncomfortable with waste in a city with many living without. When you finish your meal, take the time to wander through... More

Sit on the edge of the nile and enjoy excellent salads, dips and grill meats. The Mixed grill is excellent and it is brought still cooking to your table. Great freshly baked Pita bread is outstanding.
