If you like fresh mouth-watering seafood and find yourself in Cairo... go here and arrive hungry:
Kadoura Seafood Restaurant - King of Alexandria
Cairo 66 Gameat El Ddoal El Arabia St, El mohandsein
Tel: 33350622 / 37608660 / 37608665
Walking in, the smell of fresh fish is overwhelming... that's because it's on display and you choose what you want and how you want it done. Get some fish... get some grilled jumbo shrimp... choose a table on the top floor - away from the smell and generally lovely. Try everything they bring - spicy tomato slices, fabulous tahini and hummus... but for god's sake, save room for the amazing fruits de mer that's on its way to you from the kitchens.
For the vegetarians
Arabs love meat... but there are a few wonderful veggie dishes to look out for:
kosharee - a dish of spaghetti, macaroni, rice, chickpeas, lentils, crispy fried onions and tomato sauce
falafel - you've probably had it before... this Middle Eastern classic has gone worldwide
Bevvies:
Any decent restaurant will have fresh juices. Mango, strawberry, etc... liquefied and placed in a glass for your enjoyment... Heaven.
Coffee fans... don't settle for Nescafé and kindly request a Turkish stove-top brew. Then be prepared for the STRONG dark ambrosia.
