The food wasn’t the best but you don’t come here for food. You come here for the atmosphere, the decor, the music, it’s beautifully set up. The service is also excellent, the staff is wonderful. To be clear the food was good but not great. Is definitely come here again. Good for couples, friends, and adult families.

Had a fantastic experience at Abou El Sid. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, authentic, and full of character — like stepping into a piece of classic Egyptian heritage.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Every dish was rich in flavor and beautifully presented, especially the traditional favorites which tasted just like homemade comfort food, but elevated. The service was attentive and genuinely welcoming, making the whole experience even more enjoyable.
If you’re looking for a place that combines authentic Egyptian cuisine, cozy ambiance, and great service in Zamalek, this is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Best way to experience local egyptian meals. Located in Zamalek with an authentic ambience and great taste while listening to Egyptian oldies. Recommended 100%

We went for an early dinner. The food was average good – it’s not up for the hype and long lines outside.
The service was terrible. It makes me suspect the restaurant staff discriminate foreigners. We got there and we were asked to wait a bit at the bar. The waiter kept telling us it would take another 5 min to get a table. We were looking at the menu and discussing what to get. Then they seated a group of locals who came after us and also waiting at the bar. We decided on what to order and kept asking for the table. They kept telling us 5 min. Once we placed the order, the waitstaff just brought our food to the bar and asked us to eat there. It’s quite a bizarre experience. We should not have trusted their 5 min expectation management.

If you want to eat in a traditional place when you come to Cairo, I recommend it. The place was very oriental. We ate stuffed vine leaves and mixed grill both were very delicious. For dessert, we tried muhallebi and umm ali.
