Firstly I was staying at the attached hotel (Mara House - utterly superb), and ate here 3 nights. The organisation of the serving is slightly odd: there is one sitting starting about 7 and there is no menu to choose from as the idea is a "mini-banquet" to introduce you to common Egyptian dishes. The menu "rotates" every 3 days.... more

This is a great business concept. Serve everyone the same food, most of it from the cheapest possible ingredients (vegetables), on silver platters in a wonderful environment. And charge a high price - but one that is just a little cheaper than the big western hotels. Kerrching !! The building and furnishings are a delight and lots of effort has... more

What a huge let down! Following all the good reviews we were expecting something really special. The warm welcome that was so often mentioned was non-existent. We didn't even know who Mara was, as the woman who opened the door to us didn't introduce herself. The food comprised several courses of similar, mediocre food (especially the dish that looked and... more

After all the T/A reviews, we had to visit. The "complimentary" taxi, it's included in the price of course, was a necessity as otherwise no one could find it in the back streets. Inside the atmosphere is like an old Egyptian's grandees house, drapes, internal fountain, wonderful. The food consists of five courses with diners sitting at the same time.... more

Very disappointed with this establishment, Having visited it on the strength of Trip advisors reviews we were expecting a real treat, What we experienced was anything but. Firstly we had great difficulty actually finding the place. On arrival in a local taxi who had no knowledge of the Salahadeen we were told rather rudely "Well you should have booked and... more

Wonderful food and amazing atmosphere Thanks Mara more

We spent an enjoyable evening with two friends at Salahadeen.Everyone eats a set five course meal at 8pm, although I believe they are now sometimes serving only three courses. The service was excellent and the food very good. A lot of food is served but they make it clear that you don't have to eat it all! We thought the... more

we had such an amazing dinner at salahadeen restaurant at mara house in luxor. this lace really is a jewel in a place where good authentic quality egyptian food is hard to come by. the host, mara is a delight and a wealth of information. the bar is warm and welcoming and the dining room is casually elegant and attractive.... more

I saw the reviews before travelling to Luxor and had high expectations. You can only eat at 8pm, everyone eats together, there is virtually no choice of what you eat, the food is mediocre and the cost is double what we paid at really good restaurants serving Egyptian food elsewhere in Luxor. I can only suppose that some of the... more
