This was a great little find that some of our friends told us about and well worth the visit if you are staying at Giza, particularly handy to Le Meridian. It was great to eat Egyptian food from a menu that was easy to read, with helpful staff. We went back three times as it was great! Friendly helpful service,... more

We found this sweet restaurant after a hot dusty evening and it was perfect to rejuvenate for the night. Good, solid Egyptian (Oriental) food with a nice ambiance and great service. Mr. Mousin in particular was very helpful in service and choosing a meal. Great selection of tasty vegetarian cuisine including felafel, foul, stuffed eggplant, dolma, etc. Also serves cold... more

It's your first night in Cairo, and you're feeling overwhelmed. You don't want to break down and go to McDonald's, but tonight, at least, you want a menu in English. Go to Felfela. Yes, the sit-down restaurant is touristy (though the takeout joint next door is patronised by both tourist and middle-class Egyptians), but they do have real Egyptian dishes... more

This refers to the Felfela restaurant at Giza near the pyramids manager very friendly and offered a varied choice of all types of Egyptian dishes so we could try lots of things for E£65-00 about £6.50 each inclusive of a drink. We then got a bill for E£225.00 about £25.00. no room to argue there it was. The food had... more

It's clean and the food is decent. They seem to cater to the tourist crowd. A bit overdecorated but it's cute. more

This review is for the Felfela located in Giza, not the one in Huda Sharawi Street in Downtown Cairo. On a recent trip to Cairo, my family and I went for a quick lunch at Felfela by the pyramids. We were there early so we were the only ones there, which made the place lack a bit of atmosphere. The... more

Very clean. No Egyptian bottom afterwards. Good choice of Egyptian and other foods average price around 80p per meal. I bought 3 main courses, 3 sweets and 3 drinks and the whole bill came to about LE800 (about £7.90). more

At the downtown Felfela our food arrived at different times, the waiter spilled red wine on 2 of us and the food was terrible. They did send the hat and the other item out for cleaning, but we were long finished our meal and still waiting for it to be returned. So the waiter asked us if he could bring... more

We found the restaurant FELFELA the best in the downtown area. All taxi-drivers know the adress. It was easy to get there by metro and by walking from the city centre. The place was amazing mixture of old English pubs and an artists living room with aquariums, paintings, living birds and a marvellous staff that spoke excellent English. The service... more

This is a good restaurant for a good traditional Egyptian meal. The service was excellent and the food came promptly (which can be a challenge in Egypt). That said, it was not the best meal I had Egypt for the price. No complaints, but not rave reviews either. more
