I recently had the pleasure of dining at an Kan Zaman El Gouna restaurant, and it was a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, filled with traditional decor that transported me to another time and place.
The menu featured a variety of classic Egyptian dishes. I started with mezze, a selection of small plates that included creamy hummus, tangy babaganoush, ,crispy falafel and shakshoka, Each dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly complemented by warm pita bread.
