4.4 / 5.0(2,562 reviews)
I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, not too salty — every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing, perfect for both casual dining and special occasions. The staff were very friendly especially Mr. Ragab, who provided exceptional service and made our visit even more enjoyable, attentive, and professional. Everything from start to finish was just perfect. Highly recommended — I’ll definitely come back again! Good and clean food. Typical Egypt food. Great service and hospitality. Recommended. Food better than some famous chain hotel in Luxor. Probably the best food we ate in Luxor. We had a selection of cold and hot mezze, all vegetarian, and they were all dishes we’d order again. The feta cheese dip was really excellent, in particular. We also ordered the moussaka, baba ghanoush, hummus, pickled vegetables, stuffed seasonal vegetables, grilled eggplant and felafel. It’s a bit of a hike from where we were staying (at the winter palace) but well worth it.

Every single meal was amazing (we went three days for lunch to Sofra) and the service was amazing. Seats and tables are comfortable and the waitresses are kind and willing to help you for any kind of question. Could really recommend this place !!
