Felfela
A long-time favourite

The restaurant is downtown within walking distance of many hotels.The waiters speak Spanish and english among other languages.They offer typical Egyptian food that you cannot find in other restaurants.You can pick and choose between cheap and expensive dishes .

Yes a little bit touristy. Good spoken English by the waiters.

i am an egyptian and yes i've always seen tourists there. why? it beats me. it is the kind of restaurant were u can find spit and hair in your food. if that's ok with u then that's ur place. if you want to go to a good egyptian restaurant this definetly not it. To add, people there are not friendly if you dun givem a tip. I also invite everybody to complain about their food or service atleast once to put their friendliness to the test (they totally fail). this place would have totally closed down if it wasn't for the misguided tourists. It is rare when i see an egyptian there except the ones who will go 4 cheap food

Bumping into it by accident, as Felfel is the egyptan word for my boyfriends nick name Pepper but inside we were very disappointed about unpersonal service -if at all- busy ambiance and the food. Fun to go there once, but no more for me

I have been to Felelah several times. The food is mediocre and the ambiance is good for first time tourists. If you are lookign for good Egyptian food, this is not it.It is kid friendly and tourist companies use it frequently.

Staff are great with children, although once they have served you and you have paid you leave and they never say good bye.

I lived in the Le Meridian Hotel, next to Felfela for two years and spent many a wonderful night in Felfelas, the food is great, the service could be better, but then again it is Egypt. Try the "meat in paper" and the chicken livers with suace. The guys there are friendly and the general feeling is excellent. Baba Ganu & Humis are excellent starters. I'll return soon.
