Spotting the best view of the great Nile. It is very expensive and the motion is too slow. Nice for a romantic dinner.

It's one of my favorite places in cairo, very quite, view is beyond amazing, great staff, very professional. But it is very overpriced for the food quality and variety. I go for the view and the whole atmosphere but I don't really like the food there, so I end up paying more than LE350 for food that I don't like!

Food is not Good and menu is very limited. However, the view is amazingggggggg. You are paying for the view to be honest. It's veryyyyy expensive. So make sure your Visa card is with you. average for two around 800 Egyptian pounds

The place is one of the est places for business dinners. Everything is there to enjoy a very good chat; the level of light, level of music, breathtaking view, friendly service, you name it. If just you can handle dining without drinking alcohols the place is ideal.

This restaurant is a must try, not for the food but for the view and the experience itself. Being at the 40th floor this is, I think, the highest spot in Cairo you can dine at (after Al Gezeera Tower). The restaurant revolves one complete round in 60 minutes. The internal decoration is very cool, the lights are dim so... More

So the place doesn't serve alcohol - get over it and move on! A group of six of us (4 'westerners', 2 Egyptians - all alcohol drinkers) dined here earlier this month. We knew in advance that alcohol wasn't served - did it spoil our evening? Not one bit! This is a fine-dining experience with, unusually for Egypt, unobtrusive waiter... More

Come for the view, but eat beforehand. We were shocked and disappointed not to be able to enjoy a glass of wine at a fancy restaurant. Our starter was good, but it went downhill after that. The soups were barely average and the mains almost inedible. Do not order the dorade if you do not like codfish; the Egyptian version,... More

Very disappointed with this - was tempted to give it one blob but I could imagine worse I suppose. First thing to point out is that since the revolution they no longer serve alcohol. I guess they can't use it in cooking either which may explain some of the disappointing sauces. Starters were pretty good, main courses bland and just... More
