Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of our favourite places to relax downtown. Shame about the main shop it’s so neglected it looks closed. Service is much improved with the young lady waitresses.

Arrived early decided to have a fresh juice, Read my emails & relax before my next meeting. The place is the heart ❤️ of downtown Cairo. Has a big outside service area & indoors too . Was historically the finest dessert 🍮 in town. The place is very old yet nice. Ordered a fresh lemon 🍋 juice. Quiet full . Just avoid the toilet 🚽 as it is not clean. Haven’t tried their food & haven’t seen anyone around ordering any. They serve Shisha outdoors & you can smoke 💨 indoors too.

Amazing new menu. Excellent service. The environment takes you back to early 20th century. Only problem is the cats and flies if you're sitting outdoors but there's an indoors option.
Parking is a hassle but we parked in the multistorey parking nearby in Opera square and walked 7 minutes to get to Groppi.

I visited Groppi this morning and was shocked by how delipidated it has become. This is not their original location on Talaat Harb Plaza which has been closed for a few years now. This is their second downtown location about a ten minute walk from the original. The place looks faded with dusty couches, broken wooden chairs, almost empty shelves and an unkempt uncared for dusty garden. The food was horrible. Their chicken escalope gave me stomach pain almost immediately. The very old service staff were sufficiently friendly if disinterested and the younger staff surly. However I was a bit surprised that the place was fairly busy with customers. What a pity for what once was the gathering place for Cairo's high society and visiting glitterati from around the world. It's worth a visit just for nostalgia sake but I don't recommend eating anything there.

Hilariously Bad Quality, Bad Service, and No Money Value!
We went for dessert, requesting “Om Ali” a coffee latte, and water. When we tasted “Om Ali” it was cold; however, we asked them to be normally hot. The waiter came and heated both; however, both were overheated and overcooked, and also the taste was not good at all, so we ate hardly.
Waiters were talking to each other and leaving the people sitting without a proper response.
One of the waiters has been requested to bring another bottle of water, and then we found him standing at the back doing nothing !!!!
Moreover, we suffered all night from stomachache and disturbance of the poor quality “Om Ali.” Additionally, they served the coffee latte in a round cup which is not desired for a standard latte, and it was cold!!!!
The table beside us returned a Lemon juice because it wasn’t cold !!!
Once upon a time, this place was an amazing one “since more than twenty years ago.”
Unfortunately, it is not only behind the basic standards of an acceptable quality of desserts and drinks but also has no minimum acceptable quality of service. I’m wondering, does this a place that has been used to be visited by elite people of Heliopolis residents and all of the high-class people in Cairo and Alex.?!!
Does this place used to serve the best “Marron Glacé,” the best “Cream Chante” in Egypt, and the best “Ice Cream” in the region ???!!!!
The management should either be changed or attend preliminary training on the minimum standards on how moderate coffee should be even in the countryside of Egypt. Moreover, the bathroom is far from the minimum acceptable level of cleanliness.
I was really excited about visiting that place as it used to be a fantastic. However, It is obvious this place now does not care about the served items or its guests. Accordingly, with such an experience, which is really disappointing, I would never repeat it and don’t recommend anyone to do it.

This place is legendary! It was an integral part of most old movies. It's lost a lot of its glory and luster, however you can still feel the old vibe. It's got a great ambiance, grand selection of coffee and pastries, and a relaxing atmosphere.

It's no longer the same place we used to hear about in old films. The service is old and the place needs a lot of improvements.

The place seems very old but renovated. Service a little bit chaotic. Poor decor . I think this place has a lot of potential but needs more ambitious management .

This must really have been something back in the day before GAN.
Still can pick up a bit of the vibe, but overall gives a feeling of sadness. Turkish coffee quite good but was not tempted by any of the pastries. Think Egyptair food on a bad day.
