Very good Egyptian food here. Highly recommend. Must try when you come to Aswan. The most delicious Egyptian restaurant I’ve had during my trip so far The bbq chicken is super good and tender! The meat is not dried! It follows with vegetable and rice. For the vegetables, you can change to molokhia on request. The environment of the restaurant is comfortable. Excellent restaurant near the train station, market and the Nile River. We went there twice during our 2 days in Aswan and loved the variety of grilled dishes we tried. Prices are reasonable, and the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Outstanding place in Aswan. Meat is delicious. Service is very pleasant and quick. Coffee was okay, but make sure you spell out that you need no sugar, if you prefer the coffee this way. Otherwise you'll get it with sugar.

Makka Restaurant in Aswan is a local favorite, popular among both tourists and residents. Located not far from the Corniche, this simple and unpretentious spot offers fantastic food that more than makes up for its lack of fancy decor. The beef legs soup is a standout, rich and flavorful, and the lamb chops are absolutely delicious, as well as molokhea. For a refreshing drink, don't miss the Karkade. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit!
