4.3 / 5.0(6,752 reviews)

Had dinner here last night. After taking my order, the waiter didn’t even print out the ticket. By the time I finished all my food, the guava juice I ordered earlier still hadn’t arrived. The Japanese couple at the next table waited for almost an hour and still didn’t get their food,completely forgotten. If the staff don’t have a good memory, please just use pen and paper to jot things down 😅 🍗 Shish Taouk – The grilled chicken skewers were fragrant, flavorful, and tender. But only two small sticks, served with fries and rice (you can choose two sides). 🍝 Chicken Alfredo – Rich, creamy, and cheesy. Big portion and really tasty! 🤤 Perfect comfort food on a windy day. 🥙 Hawawshi – Crispy on the outside, packed with juicy minced beef inside. Very satisfying. What a great spot! Choose between sitting in the courtyard or outside. Either is great although if the weather is good, sit outside. Every dish was tasty and well presented. Service was efficient and quick. In an area dominated by fast food options, this place stands out from the rest. Highly recommended for a delicious meal. Excellent food. Nice Ambiance. Went there twice. On both occasion, they have been consistent in delivering quality service. If they can provide a designated smoking and non smoking area for the airconditioned rooms, that would be great. Overall, extremely satisfied.

Cozy spot. Came here yesterday for a quick dinner. The Chicken Cream soup was simple, yet delicious. The Om Ali was amazing. After being disappointed at B Laban, I really wanted to find some good Om Ali before leaving Cairo and the one at Oldish did not disappoint. Our server Adham was great as well, very kind, attentive and quick, which came in handy as we were in a bit of a rush. Would definitely come back again.

We had a lovely experience at Oldish! Our waitress, Hadeer, was absolutely wonderful, warm, attentive, and made great recommendations. We ordered molokhiya, hawawshi, orzo, and a salad, and everything was fresh and full of flavor. The molokhiya was perfectly seasoned, and the hawawshi had that authentic homemade taste. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming — a great place to relax and enjoy real Egyptian food.
