Upscale eatery with the old arab feel in Khan el Khalili.Feshawi is well talked about, but we ended up here at a local’s recommendation.Lentil soup was delicious. Yummy main was egg plant with meat!

One of the best dining alternatives to some of the surrounding tourist traps in the market and a classic Cairo establishment. First room has small bites/shisha/tea, full dinner service in next room.

You can't miss it in Cairo. The ambiance in Cafe is outstanding. You need to wait for a table especially on weekend. Food is not the best though. Go for Hawawshi it is very tasty.

Authentic Oriental atmosphere, clean place, many food choices, food qaulity is exquisite, customer service is good. Live music adds an extra layer to an already very rich experience.

The trip here was fun and entertaining! Although the food wasn’t the best we had but it was good. The musicians are so much fun and really liven up the place. The muhallabeya is worth trying!

Turkish coffee is so good.No video or camera(including phone camera ) inside.Falafel was yummy. Plenty of cosy hidden tables for private conversation if you would like to be undisturbed.

Air-conditioned and spacious ambiance is great ! Shisha and tea are perfect as well . Photography is not allowed inside the cafe .

The place is crowded , but if you find a table it is the best place to listen to Arabic music .

The shisha is very good. I tried watermelon . Sahlab is not very sweet and you can have the nuts outside so you can add them the way you like. I loved the atmosphere.
