Mahony Khan Cafe — Restaurant in Cairo

This was the worst restaurant I’ve ever visited.

A young man at the entrance told me, “There’s no service charge, and you can pay by credit card.” However, when it came time to pay, they suddenly added 12% per person in taxes and service charges.

When I said, “This is not what I was told; the young man said there would be no service charge,” the manager lied, claiming, “He’s not good at English.” The prices were adjusted afterward, but the nonsense didn’t stop there.

Then they said, “You can’t pay by credit card.” When I reminded them that the young man said it was possible, they brought a payment terminal from another branch, claiming, “Our machine is broken, so we borrowed it from a friend.”

On top of that, when I asked at the entrance, “Is this Khan El Khalili Restaurant & Naguib Mahfouz Cafe?” they confirmed it—but that was also a lie.

The food itself is nothing special. The live music is way too loud to have a conversation.

Do not be fooled by them under any...

An excellent place to sit down and try Egyptian dishes after a long walk around the market, the food is delicious! Great service, clean and good prices! Live music, a little bit too loud in my opinion...

Beautiful place, with nice food and sisha! People are super kind and nice! The musicians are perfect too! We are very glad to visit it our last night in Cairo! Thank you for...
