Hegoda, stumbling into the Aladdin mythđ°
Granada Restaurant & Pub Hurghada This two-story restaurant with a terrace is built right on desert ruins by the seaâand stepping inside feels like stepping into a whole new world! đ Itâs got this Arab palace vibe, and without any windows blocking the way, the cool sea breeze blows straight through the hall, so refreshing đŹïž The restaurantâs mystery comes from the lightingâno harsh overhead lights, just tons of ambient lamps scattered everywhere. Once night falls, the light sways gently, waiters in black robes glide between private booths, and cutlery and wine glasses glint gold in the glow âš By 8:30, elegant Middle Eastern men and women start arriving, and next to us, there was this sweet Arab family celebrating a birthdayâthe little birthday kid leaned over the sofa, peeking at us with curious eyes đ„° Whatâs rare is that while it offers cocktails and shisha, it doesnât skimp on food qualityâthere are plenty of hearty dishes: The raw beef is super fresh, seasoned just right đ„© The paella and octopus keep a bit of Southern European flair but add Arab spicesâsuch a unique, surprising flavor đ The mint lemonade is a must-order with every mealâso cooling and refreshing đ The restaurant has more signature cocktails than classic ones, and theyâve got romantic names. But my friend doesnât drink, so I just ordered a small oneâit tasted like plain strawberry smoothie, though đ Canât recommend that. #Hurghada #Egypt #RedSea #RestaurantRecommendation #SeasideDining #MiddleEasternFood #ExoticEats #TravelEgypt
