Why Travelers Love Lavender Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Lavender Zamalek – Located in the heart of B-South Zamalek, yet a true oasis of calm — surprisingly peaceful. The atmosphere is understated, minimalist, natural, and thoughtfully designed — and above all, no intrusive music. Instead, a quiet elegance with a Nile view and a lush, green backdrop. The menu is diverse and carefully curated — from soups like minestrone or chicken broth, fresh salads, and Mediterranean appetizers (e.g., burrata, shrimp, salmon), to creative pasta dishes such as pistachio pesto or truffle risotto, and mains like grilled sea bass, “Lavender Chicken,” or tender filet. I was pleasantly surprised to find minestrone on the menu. It exceeded my expectations — well-balanced in flavor, not overwhelmed by spices, as is unfortunately often the case in Egypt. The team? Present without being intrusive. Friendly, attentive, and genuine. Conclusion: If you’re looking for tranquility, variety, and tasteful understatement, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely return. Thanks & ❤️🤍 I loved the vibe and the atmosphere. Staff was top friendly and professional. Perfect spot for a date. However food was average at best, we tried sea food pasta and lavender Chicken. Cocktail, Strawberry and mango was good enough. Latte was awful. It was sweet and bitter at the same time. Valet costs 100 which too much too. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the location is a great spot to go on a date or celebrate an occasion. Special thanks to Mr. Tamer who made the day very memorable with his professionalism in service and interacting, this man always go for the extra mile thank you so much Mr. Tamer we will be back soon❤️❤️

Had a great evening at Lavender on top of the Nile — beautiful views and a relaxing atmosphere. Our waiter, Tamir, was fantastic! He made great recommendations, was very accommodating, and took such good care of us with a big smile the whole time. The food was delicious and full of flavor. Overall, a lovely dining experience — highly recommend!
