Laura and her husband have made this restaurant into a excellent establishment, food was fantastic and service was next to none, atmosphere welcoming and staff friendly and we would definatetly recommend this restaurant to any one going to Luxor.

This restaurant was recommended to us and we whole heartedly agree with that recommendation. My partner and I took our daughter, who was refusing to eat any Egyptian food to a number of restaurants and watched her pick her way through the odd bit of pasta or rice. This restaurant was perfect they serve Egyptian cuisine alongside recognisable dishes. They... more

The owner Laura was very welcoming, and was very helpful in advising us which dishes to select, which were very nice. However, the choice of deserts was very limited.I also feel that where the restaurant is situated, is a little daunting to get to.The streets are very badly lit., and is just past a building site.The interior of the restaurant... more

Laura, if you are reading this, thanks again for the knives,(although I got an odd one in the mix, no probs, I only needed four!!). My other half and I ate four times at your restaurant because we wanted to try out other eateries recommended on tripAdvisor. Wish we had tried your place first, would not have gone anywhere else!!... more

We ate here twice and found this to be the best restaurant we went to. The host was a lovely lady. It is a little like eating in someones front room; the only problem we had really was the lack of air conditioning-there were fans and small air conditionng units by the tables but they tending to make the air... more

We first found this little jem last year by accident and am delighted to come back and still find the quality, service and friendliness that made it our best restaurant on our last visit. A little off the normal tourist trail so a slightly longer walk for some but well worth the effort. The decor is sedate and peaceful with... more

After trying 10 different restaurants in Luxor, this one has to be the best by far. I have never written a review for a restaurant before but felt this one worthy of praise. The food, service and atmosphere couldn't be faulted. I tried several of their Egyptian dishes, my favourites being the beef shawarma and beef hala (not sure if... more

We tried 10 or so restaurants in Luxor and Jewel of the Nile and Sofra were easily our favourites. Expect excellent service from Laura the owner and the Egyptian staff and food that is very well cooked and excellent value. We tried their Egyptian and English dishes and enjoyed both. The Ohm Ali is an excellent pudding and well worth... more

Me and my 2 kids visited Jewel of the Nile as I scribbled a few names down from this site before we went. It is a bit of the beaten track and not with other restaurants and I was a bit put off when we were the only people there to begin with. It is also very small compared to... more
