We were taken here for lunch as part of our Day Tour of Cairo that we booked through Discover Egypt (England). The food was a set menu, very good and we just couldn't eat it all. It was lovely to feel like we were floating down The Nile when infact we were moored (I think permanently). I would definitely recommend... More

The first thing u see on arriving at this restaurant are the big bbq grills where most of the food is cooked, and the ladies making the most delicious bread in Cairo!! The chicken is particularly good as was everything we ate that evening. The service is friendly and prompt. Do try visit when in Cairo.

Make sure you try their famous chicken. This was the best food we ate on our trip and we ate a lot of good food! A must in Cairo.

delicious restaurant nearby the pyramids that specialize in grilled meat. Especially quail and chicken that are spectacular and grilling freshly on a spit as you walk in. The stuffed grape leaves and pita bread made fresh are also te best we had in Egypt. Andrea is as popular with locals (who come after 3pm) as tourists since many buses stop... More

Over the years I've eaten at Andreas restaurant many times. They are consistently excellent in what they do best--chicken. The chicken is always crisp and juicy. And the bread is to die for, made on the spot. Their baba ganoug is the best in Cairo and the tahina is loaded with garlic, just the way we like it. All the... More

Eating on a large boat moored along the Nile is an experience you don't want to miss. The food is good, but not remarkable. It's mostly the atmosphere that is the draw.

Walking up to the entrance, the smell of BBQ makes your mouth start to water. You know it's going to be good. Next, the ladies baking the traditional bread and showing how it's done makes you want to sit down and dig right in. But that's not how it's done. Our group of 7 was given a table off to... More

The restaurant is oriental fashioned one. You will smell BBQ odors even before you go inside, which will get you hungry. I'd rather going there on winter at 4 pm while the sun is starting to go down, Oh I love this atmosphere. Grilled chicken is not an option, you gotta order it. If you need a starter, go for... More
