Kadoura — Restaurant in Giza

The restaurant is located in the crowded street of Arab league. The name was very famous in the nineties due to its Alexandria start and this branch in Cairo was opened later. It is supposed to be an upscale place mainly for executives in the surrounding companies and the Arab tourists who were preferring the Mohandsin area. But now it is so crowded with tables near each other covering almost every inch in the three floors. Service is bad, at the beginning you should pay to the person who will help you choose the fish to obtain the fresh ones. Then you will wait to get a tablle then wait longer to get your food. Cooking is less than good and the workers are very noisy and slow. If you need something you may ask several times before getting it.

Interesting place. The entrance is a fish shop. You point tot he fish you like, it’s then weighed, and you are asked the cooking method you prefer (grilled or fried) you are then invited to go up to your table. Second and third floor are large with many families. There is an interesting prayer area near the staircase. We were not given menus , just offered sides and salads. We had salad (which they refer to as oriental salad) and rice. The salad was fresh the rice was delicious. The fish arrived well cooked and it was very tasty and fresh. It was to eat in a local place, out of the fancy tourist hotels but not street food. The waiters are lovely and courteous, the food is fresh and the experience as a tourist was unforgettable. Don’t let the entrance scare...
