This casual restaurant at Mena House has huge windows opening on to the Pyramids – a great place to rest up for lunch after a morning of Pyramids sightseeing. The menu offers plenty of mezze plus traditional mains of stuffed pigeon, molokhiyya (garlicky leaf soup, a speciality of Egypt) and pan-fried Nile perch.
