Had some fab meals at Jewel of the Nile, enjoyed over a lovely bottle of wine which is great value - 75 Egyptian pounds per bottle compared to approx. 120-140 we paid at other restaurants. Great atmosphere and I agree with the other reviewer who said to try the aubergine fritters with tahini - brill. We also thought the kebab... more

Excellent!

Please don't believe Bren9's review. We came back from Luxor last night and ate twice at Jewel of the Nile as the food was so good, and excellent value. Both times we had the set egyptian menu - fantastic deal at 75LE (about £7.50) for 4 courses. And it was a great intro to Egyptian food. The second starter course... more

this resaurant was a big disapointment to me and my partner,the lady that runs it seemed full of herself, but the food was the worse we have ever had in all our years eating out in luxor. The veg soup we orderd was just like gravy granules with a few frozen veg in and our steak was so flat and... more

Dear Bren. I am very sorry you didn't enjoy your meal. What a shame you didn't say anything at the time. I assure you that as we do not use gravy granuals or frozen veg, so therefore the soup contained neither. Our steak is fresh daily and I have never had a steak returned for being too tough, but had...

Thanks very much to Laura for a warm welcome and the high standards of the food and service. I have spent alot of time in Egypt and the mixed grill was the best I have ever tasted. Everything was perfect. Definately THE place to head for. A hearty meal for two and drinks for under £20, great value. Can't wait... more

We read about this before going to Luxor and though it took a bit of finding it was well worth it. I can only echo what everyone has said. The food is delicious (try the fired aubergines and tahini) and the fish tagen was the best my husband tasted anywhere (and he has tasted a few). The staff are friendly... more

Everything about this lovely little restaurant is perfect (a little off the main streets but well worth finding). Laura is so welcoming and friendly and the food was the best we ate during our stay in Egypt. Presentation is excellent and the food delicious and served piping hot. If you are staying in Luxor this place is a must! Would... more

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
