The restaurant has a really nice and clean interior, air condition and an amazing view of the Pyramids and the Sphinx. We both had main dishes and a salat. Unfortunately the service is horrible! We had to ask four times for a bottle of water...More

Table against the floor to ceiling window that overlooks the pyramids hard to beat the view. I also very much enjoyed the food: 'traditional Egyptian', grilled meat and vegetables, 'dips' and pita bread. I thought the rice in pyramid form was a cute touch. Service...More

I have eaten here several times. The food is good, restaurant looks clean, service is OK and caters for lots of western tourists. The views of the Giza plateau are especially good.
