The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

From the extensive menu, we settled for the chicken Milano and the chicken fajitas (52LE each). The former consisted of perfectly grilled chicken with smoked turkey on top, served with a scrumptious cheesy cream sauce and accompanied with sautéed vegetables, as well as potato wedges.

The chicken fajitas came in the form of strips of chicken mixed with caramelized onions and yellow, green and red peppers on a piping hot platter; the smell itself was tantalising enough to send us over the moon. The dish was also accompanied with the typical servings of guacamole, pico de galo, cheddar cheese, sour cream and diced tomatoes with cilantro. The drawback? The supplementary tortillas, while pleasant, were pretty cold.

Although we were looking forward to the ‘low-calorie salad’, they were all out so we tried out the Rocca salad (32LE) instead; composed of ruccola, parmesan cheese, mushrooms tossed in a balsamic vinegar dressing with hints of mustard.

Equally orgasmic, the Yoghurt Lovers was three divine scoops of frozen yoghurt drenched in blackberry sauce and garnished with three flower-shaped cookies.

Overall, we paid 290LE for a more-than-satisfying dining experience: quality dishes with portions that leave you full and efficiently quick service.
