This place converted me to a falafel fan or as the Egyptians call it Ta’ameya, recipe being also a bit different and in my novice opinion the best I have tasted. It was super crunchy on the outside, bright with ground spices and soft on the inside. Perfectly spiced and packed full of flavor. The other stand out were the Veal chops. Food overall really tasty. Fit out a bit eclectic, with fish tanks, bird houses, murals and eclectic lamps. All a little dusty, mysterious and giving off just the Cairo vibes a tourist is after. Where the place falls done is Service. Friendly faces standing around, forgetting items, missing cutlery and taking forever to bring a drink.

Very good food in an amazing building. Tourist vibe does not take away from the experience. Falafel was excellent although lacked seasoning. Tourists should be aware that credit cards are not accepted and the service charge does not include a tip. Typical Egypt…

Beautifully decorated restaurant serving Egyptian food. The place is popular with tourists and it is overpriced, food is OK. They only accept cash and charge a "right to use the cutlery" and service on top. They also expect a tip on top of all of that.

Everything was good except service. I waited 5 mins for menu and 15 mins fot dessert. It came from fridge but it feels like they are doing it again. They accept only cash and i didnt know that. I told the waiter who is in suit and he came to atm with me after i got the cash he told me you must give 100egp it is not written on the receipt. And i told him of course i know that is not written there. He kept asking me while im keeping to say no. If he didnt say anything i’ll give some but after that big no

While in #cairo went to a restaurant that I had seen on social media many times @felfelaeg, first off the ambiance is amazing, great decor. we ordered multiple breakfast items, Falafel, Foul, Shakshuka, and Lentil Soup. the food was delicious, Egyptian Falafel are a little different then the rest of the Arab world, they are made from Fava beans, which was good, and honestly you can't go wrong with Foul, with fresh bread. definitely a great place 👌

I am not a fan of falafel, but their falafel was so delicious and not dry at all. The food overall was great, the service was nice, the location was right in the heart of downtown Cairo, and the ambiance was good. I just didn't like that they did not accept cards as one of the modes of payment, but it was good that they accepted another currency.

Delicious falafel and ample portions of main dishes. This iconic restaurant off a side street near Tahrir Square has supposedly hosted an US President on one occasion. Surprisingly, the eish baladi (local flatbread) was dry and felt a bit stale, but everything else was quite perfect.
