4.3 / 5.0(2,073 reviews)
I've seen people in the kitchen prepare the food with care. The staff was very friendly. But more importantly, the food was delicious, the meal I had was perfect. Definitely try the dates tart and the lemon mint. They were really fresh. We were searching for some lunch and it turns out we had a perfect spot. The food price/quality rate is excellent. The service was excellent and the view was amazing. Great restaurant!! This place is cheap, delicious and very aesthetically appealing. The prices are very very reasonable, my family and I all got 1 main dish, smoothies, extras and even desserts and the total price per person was 10 USD per person. This way not sound very cheap but we ate a lot. We got seated just in front of the huge window outlooking the Nile River and since we went during golden hour, the sun. All the food was great, I recommend the chicken sandwich. One bad thing about this place is that the service is a bit slow. And the most important thing was that they didn’t accept credit card, which I found a little confusing. We ended up paying in dollars since we didn’t have any local money. But overall, this restaurant is great and we will definitely be returning.

We ate here 4 days out of 4. Best restaurant we found in Egypt. The food was awesome. Big portions for big value. Staff spoke good English. No hidden fees/tips We enjoyed the burger, chicken, wraps, chicken liver, and more. Coffee is great, frappe's are great. As a family of 4, we had 4 meals, juices, and frappes/coffees for 800 to 1000 EGP. Bargin. Would go back again again.. if we could!

Don’t come here unless you like bone dry bad food that takes 1 hour to come. We came to this spot with our family after getting excited by the reviews. We didn’t know that there was a change in management. We ordered shishkabab, burger, chicken thigh, fried rice and drinks — everything highly recommended by the reviews. It all came horrible. After more than an hour of wait, the food was not worth the wait. The beef is dry like the desert. The worst restaurant we’ve had in Aswan and Egypt. Avoid at all cost!
