Wish we had a proper dinner here

It was just a quick stop to get some starters unfortunately, but it was delicious, probably the best meal we had in Egypt. It was a bit early for a dinner probably, so atmosphere was very relaxed, staff extremely attentive and nice.

Best felafel I’ve had!

Cute place. The food was delicious. They have a choice of felafels. We tried a selection and they were all amazing, as is the morte & kebab. Good service too.

Nice restaurant

We really enjoyed the decor and interior of this restaurant. We had read reviews and were aware of the 6 LE per person “cover charge”. We also did not eat the bread they put on the table and then charge you for if you eat....We enjoyed everything we ordered and it all came very timely. I’m not sure if it’s Covid related, but we came at 6:30 and we only saw a handful of other people/ groups. While a bit pricey (compared to other restaurants) we did enjoy ourselves here.More

I wouldn’t recommend this

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant despite the reputation. They live on the history. Tahmiya and french fries were ok, but mixed grill was undercooked, bread old and not fresh at all, vegetables were raw

Stumbled by chance. Amazing food!

On a walk through downtown searching for a dinner spot, we stumbled by chance and decided to try Felfela restaurant. Decor is beautiful and welcoming, staff is extremely friendly, welcoming. We got the mix grill plate, meat was juicy and tasty, we also got tahini,...came with warm pita bread, some of the best tahini we've tried in Egypt. Highly recommend this place, and will definitely come back next time I'm in Cairo.More

Yummy food. Shawerma was different

Yummy food. Shawerma was different than what I was used to with spices and veggies with the meat. Very local atmosphere of a fast food restaurant. Kind staff helped us get a car home.

Such a good deal for great food quick.

Definitely stop by here for a quick meal on the cheap. Super good food at a great price. I could eat these quick sandwiches every day. Feels like a steal. Yum

Great Egyptian food!

The entrance is so beautiful and once you enter you are greeted by friendly servers at the restaurant. All the food was delicious and ate their twice. Ordered the same dishes at other restaurants did not compare to the quality and taste here.

Bad Experience. Don’t recommend

Bad Experience. Don’t recommend Service and Food definitely declining every time I visit this place. They are pretending that they are taking their Saftey precautions related to COVID but it’s not true and obvious. Food is not special and price for the value of service...and food you get is not worth.More
