L'Aubergine Zamalek

very nice place if you are looking for occidental meals. pretty vegan options and super kind waiter. reccomended

Tasty food and good atmosphere. They also serve alcoholic drinks here. 😊

Dishonest service and bad food: The waiters tried to scam us when paying the bill. We were a big group and when part of us wanted to leave, they just came and informed us the bill. The water came around the first time and asked me to pay 1,800. I told him to give me a receipt cause that sounds too high. He went and came back asking for 1,500, no bill. I asked for the menu again and calculated my own bill. It was 1,100 all inclusive. The waiter was trying to scam me out of an additional 700, almost 70% of my total bill. My friend got suspicious about the bill she paid and she was scammed out of 250, which they brought back after we told them. Extremely shady and dishonest behavior As for the food, it was mediocre at best. The beef slices were slightly overcooked (asked for medium but they were well done). The sides were nothing special. The gnocchi was half frozen half warm. Terrible

So disappointing! The menu seems to be greatly reduced compared to the images online and the drink selection was very limited. Although the crepe was lovely I don’t appreciate being charged for a ‘cover’ I didn’t want and I really expected more vegetarian options. I might give it another go but not in a hurry.

We came here after reading good reviews. I ordered the moussaka which was still frozen inside. It was also quite expensive here compared to surrounding restaurants.

Had the night of our lives in l'Aubergine. Came here with a large group of 20+ people with no reservation, impressed that they managed to deal with all the orders so well! The food was really good, especially the aubergine mousakka and the pastas, reasonably priced too. They also serve alcohol if you're looking for that. Nobody was sick after the food which is a big plus compared to a lot of other restaurants we went to on our trip. By the end of the night the restaurant was a dance floor and the staff were dancing with us, such a funny experience!

Was really looking forward to dining here and left disappointed. We came in mid afternoon and it was quiet (we were the only customers). Only having ordered 4 mezzo dishes, it took rather long for any dishes to come out. Food was very pricey relative to other restaurants and was very mediocre. Will say that owner was friendly though and had suggested beef liver which ended up being my favourite dish out of everything we ordered.

Pros: nice virgin mojito Cons: - the food is subpar. Vegan burger was very dry and pretty bland, it really lacked some sauce - I asked for vegan pasta, they brought it with cheese, moreover, it wasn’t very tasty even after they had recooked it To crown it all, we were stunned to see that although the total price of our meal including drinks was around 700 EGP, they also added “cover” (40EGP), 12% service and 10% tax on top of that all, so the overall sum was 944EGP Keep that in mind
