We had a wonderful dining experience at Namaste Indian Restaurant in Cairo. From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting ambiance set the tone for a great evening. Special shoutout to Mustafa, who took excellent care of us – his service was attentive, friendly, and made the meal all the more enjoyable. We tried a wide selection of dishes: Chicken Biryani, Bhajias, Mulligatawny Soup, Murgh Tikka, Tarka Dal, Murgh Tikka Masala, Jeera Chawal, Lasooni Naan, and Paneer Kulcha. The flavors were rich, authentic, and beautifully balanced, especially the Murgh Tikka Masala and Lasooni Naan, which stood out as favorites. The bhajias were crispy and flavorful, and the Murgh Tikka was perfectly grilled and well-marinated. A couple of areas for improvement: the Mulligatawny Soup could have been seasoned a bit more to bring out its full depth of flavor. Also, the rice in both the Chicken Biryani and Jeera Chawal was slightly undercooked, which affected the texture of otherwise well-spiced dishes. Overall, we had a great experience, and would definitely return for another delicious meal. Namaste offers a lovely taste of India in the heart of Cairo – highly recommended for Indian food lovers! Didn’t think I can have authentic Indian food that tastes this good at the heart of Cairo! Food was delicious and of great quality. The staff are very welcoming and the ambience and cleanliness of the restaurant are inviting. We tried Butter Chicken, Paneer Tikka Masala and Lamb Vindaloo with Biryani and naans for sides and they didn’t disappoint. Mango lassi was a cool finisher. Definitely recommend it. Food was very good and tasty I did not try a lot of Indian restaurants but this one was amazing.

Located inside the Hilton Ramses, this spot has a charming ambiance with traditional interiors. The staff were warm and attentive, ensuring a comfortable dining experience. I enjoyed the aloo naan and malai kofta for dinner, both of which were flavorful and authentically prepared. Highly recommend checking it out!
