Kan Zaman Restaurant El Gouna — Restaurant in Gamsha

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.

For the main course, I opted for koshari, a beloved Egyptian street food made with rice, lentils, pasta, and topped with a spicy tomato sauce. It was hearty and satisfying, showcasing a wonderful blend of textures and flavors. I also tried the grilled kofta, which was tender and seasoned beautifully, served with a side of fragrant rice.

Dessert was a must, and the basbousa was the perfect sweet ending, moist and lightly flavored with almonds.

Price & Value: The price-performance ratio was very good.

Ambience: The restaurant is tucked away in a side street and not very busy at all. While this might deter walk-in customers, any true fan of traditional Egyptian cuisine shouldn’t be...

I recently visited Kan Zaman and had an extremely disappointing experience. I ordered a sandwich, and to my dismay, it contained rancid food. The taste and smell were off, indicating that the ingredients were either old or improperly stored.

The quality of the food was unacceptable, and it was a serious health hazard. This experience has left me questioning the restaurant's hygiene standards and commitment to customer safety.

I hope the management takes immediate action to address these issues and improve their food quality to prevent such incidents in the future. I will not be returning, and I advise others to exercise caution if considering...
