Hegoda, stumbling into the Aladdin myth🏰

Granada Restaurant & Pub Hurghada This two-story restaurant with a terrace is built right on desert ruins by the sea—and stepping inside feels like stepping into a whole new world! 🌍 It’s got this Arab palace vibe, and without any windows blocking the way, the cool sea breeze blows straight through the hall, so refreshing 🌬️ The restaurant’s mystery comes from the lighting—no 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 ✨ By 8:30, elegant Middle Eastern men and women start arriving, and next to us, there was this sweet Arab family celebrating a birthday—the little birthday kid leaned over the sofa, peeking at us with curious eyes 🥰 What’s rare is that while it offers cocktails and shisha, it doesn’t skimp on food quality—there are plenty of hearty dishes: The raw beef is super fresh, seasoned just right 🥩 The paella and octopus keep a bit of Southern European flair but add Arab spices—such a unique, surprising flavor 🍚 The mint lemonade is a must-order with every meal—so cooling and refreshing 🍋 The restaurant has more signature cocktails than classic ones, and they’ve got romantic names. But my friend doesn’t drink, so I just ordered a small one—it tasted like plain strawberry smoothie, though 😅 Can’t recommend that. #Hurghada #Egypt #RedSea #RestaurantRecommendation #SeasideDining #MiddleEasternFood #ExoticEats #TravelEgypt
