Aisha restaurant Luxor — Restaurant in Luxor City

The food is tasty, but the portions are way too small by Egyptian standards, especially for the price.

A disappointment for something that cheap and that easy to win.

Service was slightly above average, but a bit too insistent in clearing out when some people were still eating.

Interesting menu with lot of variety, catering for many tastes. Good compromise for a group of people desiring...
