Abou Shakra Restaurants - Cairo

Great food and service. Many of the locals recommend this place for a slightly raised menu cable good prices.

Everything is perfect in this place and I feel that I want to go there daily.

The place is very expensive, but the quality of food is good, the staff need to be more helpful

Abou Shakra is a well known chain of oriental Egyptian food. I have tried many of their branches. This one is not the best considering the level of service but it still a good choice.

Let's all agree that Cairo has a serious problem with food. Food is simply BAD here. This evening I ordered a mixed grill meal and a baladi salad from Abu Shakra. Everything about the order was just fine, with two reservations however: rice portion is so small, and the dish presentation was simply primitive (disproportionately big platter, compared to the anemic portions, with scattered pieces of meat and a clumsy little pyramid of rice) Order came fast and warm directly from the grill, this is a huge plus. The place is relatively clean, but it's also very compact with no exterior view. Compared to the price tag of $10, it's a good deal, but when put in the context of regional food capitals such as Beirut or Istanbul, with this price odds become a bit different. 5 stars for good taste, speed, cleanliness and helpful staff. Minus 1 star for little portions and bad presentation.
