The place in zamalek has am ambiance of an oriental cafe, the food is also authentic egyptian. Though the chicken my kids ordered was boiled so hard that they couldn't break it but the rest of the stuff was nice !

The menu is breathtaking and the food is AWESOME. You'll love anything you order, an excellent entry to the Egyptian cuisine in a old Egyptian atmosphere.

although I am Egyptian and this type or restaurant offers oriental Egyptian food but i am amazed by the good quality of food and the amazing taste of it starting with the salads which were perfectly made the "mumbar" and the stuffed vein leafs to the molokhoya with rabbits or with chicken and the okra was a piece of heaven...

I have eaten at both the Zamalek and Sharm outlets and this has to be the best 'Egyptian' food on offer in both locations. The Molokhaya is particularly good. Prices are not too bad, considerably cheaper than the hotels, considerably more expensive than 'real' egyptian restaurants.

Abou el-Sid is one of the few oriental Egyptian food restaurant #1 recommended for tourists and Egyptians though. The restaurant offer a big selection of food and starters, the decoration of the restaurant is fantastic and you will enjoy while listening to the old classic Egyptian music. I went on March with a conference guests, I booked for 15 persons... More
