Such a great authentic Egyptian BBQ restaurant. The flavors in the meat are smokey and the spices are just incredible. The side dishes were also spectacular as well. No doubt my favorite part was the Egyptian band playing traditional music as you are welcomed into the restaurant. I had bust a few moves!!

Average. Hardly a local experience as no local would ever come here to pay exorbitant (for the locals) prices to eat run-of-the-mill food. Make sure that you look at the menu and verify the prices before you order. Id recommend the kofta. The chicken, on the other hand, not so much. The tahini and garlic dip were very good as was the bread. Beer was expensive. The shady palm tree filled courtyard was the highlight of this very uninspiring , tourist oriented restaurant.

Restaurant welcomes all diners with a fanfare.Good food and plenty of space. Catered for vegetarian.You can even have a try at baking the bread.Clean washrooms on site.

- big tourist trap / extremely overpriced. I don’t mind to pay a bit more or to give good tip for good service but this was over the top- the mixed grill menu was at 180 egp per person, a tea was 35 and a mint lemonade 40 egp, and the beer is sold at 100! Egp- food was ok, but not worth the price- in addition you are asked for additional tip for the waiters, for the guys playing ridiculously loud music at the entrance and the bathroom

We had lunch, our son and his parents. Lunch was served soon after we were seated. Nothing special, but okay. However, things got interesting indeed when I had to pay the bill. 1000 Egyptian pounds for a lunch that will normally cost you about 350. We told the management that this was a rediculous price, but we just received a polite smile and had to empty our wallets. A golden lessons, even for us being intrepid travellers, always ask for the menu and prices before putting your teeth in a dish.

Hungry for a local experience after a long sightseeing of tombs and pyramids? This is the place where you are welcomed by a band of musicians. You need to tip them to continue playing, however the food is good and prices are somewhat reasonable. Conveniently located just at the entrance to Saqqara necropolis

Food was good and fresh. Service was warm and friendly. They seem to speak a little English however our tour guide spoke with the servers in their negative language. The environment was nice with seating inside a tent w/walls, then just outside the tent with some covering and then completly outdoors.

Friendly service, great mixed grill main menu and speciality salads and dips. Highly recommend!

Very very rustic ... especially when stray dogs meander near your table. Beautiful outdoor setting near ruins. Great food. Bread made by ladies sitting in dirt in old open face ovens. Receive musical welcome as if a victorious general returning from battle.

Decent food, but dont ask for a beer, five euros although you are in the middle of nowhere. Moreover you have to pay for the tea

Good food and affordable prices. Good for tourists (clean and waiters speak good English). Mostly foreigners going to this restaurant.

No price No menu cost 160 EGP per person without drink

Very nice village side restaurant. Folk Instrument players, women making hot Rotis and grilled chicken corner welcome you at the entrance. Grilled chicken mixed with onion-cucumber- tomato salad and hot rotis is a great and tasty combo. Sitting area is clean and cool. Nice authentic Egyptian food. Pretty close to Saqara Noble Tombs.

They welcome you with amazing music. Its fun!

The food was really good but the bill was a lot bigger than we were expecting. Since we didnt get a menu we didnt know how much each item was.Once we were done our server just wrote the price down. The total was 470 EGP (31 USD) which would have been fine if we understood what we were ordering at the time. Partly our fault for not asking.Its really close to the pyramid which is nice, and is probably where the price is from. I would recommend to anyone who goes but more transparency would have been appreciated. :)

The food was good but for the drinks we were told 13 liras, but in the end it was counted as 30 Egyptian pounds per drink. As if we just misunderstood. Which is way too expensive.

Excelent place!! I love this place, I always go when i go to saqqara or darshur.

Very nice restaurant. Great service. Good food. Delicious!! I wish i could come back!😍

Great restaurant with friendly staff. I highly recommend if you are in the area, especially as a tourist

I believe this is the only restaurant in the area, really good food, will eat there again

Great Egyptian food, loved the music when we entered! The staff was friendly and helpful. Good stop before or after the Saqqara pyramids.

A way side eatery with the local dishes well made...its good stop over for a lunch after visit of the Saqara pyramid site and good for one who wants to taste and experience the local dishes ... not so clean and hygienic but service is good ... the own farm grown fresh bananas and dates not to be missed...

The food was delicious with authentic Egyptian food and fresh baked bread.

Decent place to visit. Very affordable food. Excelent service.

The first cold beer I found in Egypt! And with all you can eat barbecue! Amazing

Quality is OK, but no menu chose and overpriced which is to be expected so close to a tourist attraction

Very good, nice persons and delicious authentic Egyptian food

An absolutely excellent place for tasty BBQ food, and traditional Egyptian foods.

Lovely food, but a huge money tourist trap...

Its a great restaurant. Contact me if you need help in Egypt @turisi.egy

Nice place

Tasty food and good atmosphere. We ate very well there. Very nice small table barbecues. Entry and departure to music. Ladies melt traditional bread at the entrance to the restaurant. Close to the Saqqara complex and the Step Pyramid.

A very nice restaurant close to the Djeser complex. Beautiful terrace and decoration. Super friendly staff and great food. The most homemade bread on site and super good.

Well, what can I say. After 5 hours of wandering around the graves and pyramids, I really wanted to eat, and this is the closest restaurant to the exit. The 4.1 rating and tolerable reviews also did their job. It is a pity that I did not get a grasp, as they say.Food - yes, really tasty. Not the best Ive had in Egypt, but good. Costs £150 off for a complete set.But the beer ... well, this is a complete star. Of course, I did not expect anything from local beer in terms of taste, but I expected that it would cost a little. As it turned out, I was specifically wrong. It cost me £125 a can. These ferrets do not specifically indicate it on the menu, so as not to spoil the surprise for tourists, apparently.To anyone who stumbles upon my review, I recommend eating elsewhere.

We had lunch at Pharous as part of our first day of tour in Cairo, after going to the pyramids, Memphis and Saqarah (around 4pm). We were received by three people playing music and right at the entrance you can see the barbecue where the meat comes from, and beside it, some women making bread. The food was very tasty and the atmosphere was simple.

An exaggerated gem !!! We were brought to this typical Egyptian restaurant by our guide. Nothing more particular! Its all very Egyptian, starting with the ladies who cook their bread outside, passing by those who cook the roast. We tasted their bread accompanied by aubergine cream, sesame cream, falafel and roast chicken and veal. All really delicious, and to think that when we arrived we were afraid !!!

Egyptian restaurant for groups. The friendly service is impressive and the band plays the welcome music at the entrance. You can give me a dollar for a tip. The food is lamb chicken barbecue and is okay

Fairly good and distinctive. Grilled chicken and lamb and freshly made bread. We were there via organized tour, so it was included, and we didnt pay. The guide claims that people are paid around 25 euros if they dont have agreements. They seem a little too many.

Topical Egyptian food of quality. Great service and atmosphere typical of Egypt. The bread is exquisite and the taste of everything they do is very intense and good. All or so all the excursions that visit the Pyramids of Giza visit this restaurant with a typical local atmosphere. A nice place to visit.

When the best thing about a lunch is the bread, its all said. Bad food and service!

Good restaurant, we have eaten very well, the service improved.

Typical food of the country, if you like fliparas spices

A picturesque and very touristy place. The food is rich but the treatment could be improved by the staff. They take money from you for everything. As soon as you enter they sing and dance for you (to ask), if you go to the bathroom they also ask you, if you ask for tea and they tell you that they dont charge it, they end up doing it. They told us that they did not have large bottles of water (when around us we saw that all the tables had them) ... They tried to fool us everywhere. But in the end you end up assuming that the guide has led you there and there is no escape. The best thing is to enjoy the food, which I repeat, it is delicious and thats it. Bread for example, they make it homemade at the moment.And the worst thing about the place, never order Turkish coffee, it feels bad, very bad ... I dont want to give more details.

The Pharaohs Restaurant in the Saqqara tourist area is more than wonderful thanks to an experienced management.

Near Saqqara and step pyramid. Outdoor restaurant with fans, it was fine. Tasting menu with grilled meat, starters, fresh bread, good price 8/10 €. Folk music at the entrance and a woman making the bread directly the old-fashioned way in a small oven. recommendable

Very pretty frame. Pleasant musical atmosphere. Excellent cuisine and friendly service

This restaurant seems to be a meeting point for lunch. Also there you will find small groups of tourists and their guides. The food is good but the bill is well above the standard prices, there are rooftops that are cheaper. Do not expect to know the price of your menu before you are given the bill without details.

We went to eat after the visit to Shakara and it was very good. Typical Egyptian style tapas food. The dining room is outdoors under a palm-eye tent. They have Egyptian beer.

Excellent treatment and buffet food freshly made continuously. Baked bread at the moment. They treated us great. Drinks are charged separately and are a bit expensive.

Very good food, here you really taste Egyptian food. Since the tours usually take you to tourists traps. Even outside there is a lady making Arab bread out in a traditional oven

Food was good. The welcome was very nice :) They bring the meat to the table with coal fire. It can be stopped after a visit to Sakkara.

Very charming place and where you eat very well. Typical Egyptian food. Waiters very attentive. I totally recommend.

Very good quality, good quantity. Very very rich

Frankly, they do not deserve a single star ... First we were completely ignored when the European regiments were in place and the service was not provided to us despite our arrival before some European customers only after our protest more than twice.Second, eating is expensive and not high.

It is not so bad. If you take a tour of Momma, I will eat here. The meat is okay and the bread is good. Put the ingredients in bread and eat with sesame sauce

Kefta, roasted chicken, all on a small barbecue accompanied by mezze, classic and good. There are tables under palms and a large room. Essentially tourists.

Typical food, dedicated service, traditional bread made at the entrance and a trio playing and singing traditional songs.

Very tasty food prepared in the traditional way, very pleasant atmosphere.But, flies are unpleasant

Very good, especially the bread made to order.

It eats well, they serve you very fast, the bathrooms are very nice and the musicians at the entrance expect you to leave a tip at the exit

Excellent attention, very quiet, clean and the waiter or the owner very attentive at all times ... recommended 100%

Good place to try the typical Egyptian food. Outdoor. Very nice

Good food, but do not ask for a beer 80 pounds, last price .. in the center of Cairo the same 55.

Very typical and very nice restaurant at the end of the funeral complex of Saqqara. Very nice experience! To do !

Totally recommended. Very delicious food. Grilled chicken and tapas

Beautiful and cozy place with typical Egyptian food. Good deal

Very nice, traditional food with pretty good music. A buffet

Very good value for money food. Delicious natural fruit juices.
