Had lunch here and was impressed by the serene ambiance and tasteful decor of the restaurant. The calm and inviting atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind. The food was delicious, making each bite a delightful experience. The server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and left feeling completely satisfied with both the quality and presentation of the food. It was a wonderful dining experience. 👍👍
Layali Al Qahira is an Egyptian restaurant in the heart of Souq Waqif, which offers very tasty dishes. The staff are very welcoming and show great attitude towards their work. I ordered mushroom cream soup and lamb shank. Both were tasty and flavourful. The only thing that could improve is the service in terms of proper cutlery. Only a soup spoon was served, and I had to have my main dish with the same small spoon. Other than that, the place met all the expectations and is recommended.
The best Egyptian breakfast in town Falafel is in point Fresh baked bread Tomato with cheese was perfect I’ll only recommend they add Romy cheese to the Bastrami eggs option

Perfect spot for a shaded lunch amidst the sunny and busy Souq. Several vegan options were available and we went with the stuffed vegetables, falafel sandwich, mutabal, and roasted eggplant- everything was delicious! Service was prompt and welcoming throughout our meal. The lemon mint was fresh and tasty too!

Good and delicious Egyptian food. The location is beautiful. Quick service but need to improve, they forget some items of the order.
