Abou Shakra Restaurants — Restaurant in Cairo

No one greet you or smile in your face while getting in or out, only frauns and weired stare. The waiter was ignorant and could not help about the size of the plate or quantity. There was an offer to get a mixed grill plate with 30% discount during January but the waiter insisted he did not know the actual coast in order to make me get the mixed grill in the menu without the discount. The waiter did not suggest anything to me but I heard him suggesting and explaining what they had for the next table who came 20 minutes later. The owner was screaming loudly at one of the employees and ordering him to go and change his shirt and shoes in front of the clients although such displain should be in privacy. Although it was a closed space, however people were smoking freely and there is no dedicated corner for non-smokers. The prices are expensive and not matching the food quantities. I don't recommend...

Let's all agree that Cairo has a serious problem with food. Food is simply BAD here. This evening I ordered a mixed grill meal and a baladi salad from Abu Shakra. Everything about the order was just fine, with two reservations however: rice portion is so small, and the dish presentation was simply primitive (disproportionately big platter, compared to the anemic portions, with scattered pieces of meat and a clumsy little pyramid of rice) Order came fast and warm directly from the grill, this is a huge plus. The place is relatively clean, but it's also very compact with no exterior view. Compared to the price tag of $10, it's a good deal, but when put in the context of regional food capitals such as Beirut or Istanbul, with this price odds become a bit different. 5 stars for good taste, speed, cleanliness and helpful staff. Minus 1 star for little portions and bad...

I went to take lunch with my foreign friends, and once they saw them, they were just like, "Here is the big hunt, The food wasn't good at all, But service was extremely awful, Waiters, captains, and managers there were like gangaster, When the time for the bill comes: They showed it to my friends while I was in the toilet and they are about to pay, They wrote it in a used paper and did not print one with a price 2300 Egyptian pound, I asked them for printed one they said system is down you have to wait I told them I don't mind waiting and they kept me like 30 minutes waiting, And Egyptians there tried to pitch me to pass this one and give me a commission. I refused and insisted on getting a printed one, In the end, they got printed one, and guess what? The price was 980 Egyptian pound

Never recommended for tourists. Otherwise, you will carry an Egyptian...
