Restaurant Pyramids — Restaurant in Giza

We had a really good meal here.

We were able to pay with card, and cash of course was also accepted.

The service was fast and on point. We got what we wanted, fast, good temperature, and delicious.

Prices were alright, maybe a bit expensive, but you are right in front of the pyramids, so to me no complains here.

The staff that welcome us were nice, the only problem are the waiters (or at least the one that serves us), they look a bit unfriendly, and they get a bit tense about the tip. We finished with the food and asked for the check, the waiter then delivered the check and he said immediately “no service included” like two or three times. Then when we were going to pay with card he said something like “service cash please”, and of course I didn’t put the tip yet since we haven’t pay, and he looked a bit bad that it wasn’t the money not there. I mean common man. Usually tips are left before you leave or after you pay. Not before.

A bit more friendliness and less service mentions would be good. We left giving more than 15% tip and the guy didn’t seemed happy with that either.

So now you know, I’m adding up to the list of people that liked the place, the food, but got annoyed about...

We came to this restaurant based on all of the good reviews and even though its expensive for Egypt, we figured we'd treat ourselves. We were given menus to peruse, directed towards a table and brought a small bottle of water each. As we'd been looking at the menu we saw that they offered large bottles of water (1.5 litres compared to two 0.5 litre bottles) and since we drink a lot of water here with the heat, we asked if we could have 1 big bottle instead of two. At this point the waiter rolls his eyes at us, and says, 'no'. We ask why and he tuts at us and says there are only small. Because this is on the menu were confused and he starts getting really quite aggressive and saying no and then stormed off leaving the two small bottles behind. Honestly, it's okay if they've run out of large bottles or they're no longer selling them for whatever reason, but he made us feel incredibly incredibly unwelcome and like we were doing something really offensive. For that reason I didn't want to stay. The rest of the staff seemed nice but if I don't even feel like I'm welcome to be in a place I'm about to spend a large portion of my evening then they don't get more...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Note: The official Google Maps listing is under Restaurant Pyramids, but locals know and love it as Kababgy El Qahran – a well-known grill house near the Pyramids.

Food: Grilled perfection! The kofta is juicy, the kebab is smoky and tender, and the tahini dip? Pure bliss. You can literally taste the charcoal flavor in every bite – a true local barbecue experience.

Service: Quick, confident, and with that Egyptian charm. The staff knows how to treat guests, whether you’re a local or a tourist.

Atmosphere: Open-air seating near the pyramids, with the scent of grilled meat filling the air. Rustic, authentic, and full of Cairo energy.

Value for Money: Great prices for generous portions. You get a full meal that leaves you full and smiling.

🎁 Special Offer: Mention the code: "I want the AlArab 777 discount!" You might just get extra kofta on the house 😄
