My first visit here is such a let down during Ramadhan. After me and my wife ordered our meals and a Shisha, i requested to serve us at 7.15 pm because of breaking our fast at 7.18p. They start serving us Shisha instead at around 7.26 pm. They did’nt even served us drink first, not even dates ! And the best part is, utensils are given when we’re halfway done with or meals. Anw… They are charging us 10% SERVICE CHARGE !!!

I deduced that based on observations of the surrounding. There was a TV which was never turned on during operating hours, there are dishes, cups and clean liquids at the little pantry, there are shower gels and shampoo in the washroom. These are quite obvious tell-tale signs.

Kym: This is only my second time venturing into Middle Eastern food (the first was Turkish) so I'm certainly no expert on their various cuisines! Coincidentally I do have a Lebanese restaurant on my list of places to check out. And when I do I would let you know! py: Strangely, I don't recall hearing any music, maybe due to the fact that I was sitting outdoor. Was it Egyptian music? r.p: That's true. But I think in this case you are paying more for the "exotic-ness" :) mybearbrick: That's the staff quarters? That's news to me. I heard most of the staff are Nepalese. oOFooi: Yup, I didn't really mind paying the 4 bucks. At most cafés, even the big chains, the price for a cup of joe tends to start from that price too. X Wings: Haha! I had that eeky feeling when the coffee left me with a powdery aftertaste, kind of like Chinese medicine. That's why I let it settle before drinking, and it was good after that.

Hi Veron,

Places that allows you to sit and eat on “…floors”, grass or sandy beaches are nice !!!

That special feelings of sands n grass on bare foot….and cool natural breeze…..

But that pic of the coffee sediment is too eeeky for me….the rest of the pics are as usually nice though….

Yup. The foods look delicious. A cup of coffee cost $4 is a little expensive but I guess a worth to try if you have never know how Egyptian food taste like.. ;)

nice pictures! I was recently there as well, but was at the second floor, relaxing on the carpeted floor with cushions, enjoying the kebabs and hibiscus tea. The dim tungsten lighting creates a nice cosy ambience for chilling out. Couples might choose to sink into the luxuriously comfortable couches and enjoy a liitle shisha. Apparantly, the second level is also the staff quarters after operating hours.

hmm… i think it is a little too expensive.

The ambience doesn’t suit with the price.

$4.00 for a cup of coffee =(

Thanks for this post. I have passed by this restaurant quite a couple of times when I was at Kampong Glam but never went in. Somehow, I was put off by the music that was played at this restaurant the past few times when i was there.

Turkish coffee, I heard, is good. Rich!

That food looks good for when you’re iron deficient and in want of gobbling a cow.

May I ask…how different is Egyptian food to other Middle Eastern countries’ (e.g. Lebanon) cuisine?
