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

Cairo’s dining scene is as eclectic and varied as it gets. That doesn’t necessarily speak for quality, mind you, but there are no shortage of options, be it local Egyptian cuisine, Lebanese or Italian, but to name a few.

One type of cuisine that is criminally under-represented is that of Turkey. It’s a peculiar absence when you consider the similarities between it and Egyptian foods. There exists one restaurant, however, that serves up Turkish dishes wrapped in the grandeur and dining experience it deserves – the Kempinski Nile Hotel’s Osmanly.

As one of the most consistently highly-rated restaurants on Cairo 360, the Turkish eatery is nothing short of a marvel and takes the idea of feasting like a Sultan rather seriously. To celebrate the beginning of the new year, the good food-loving folk at the Kempinski are giving Cairo 360 readers the chance to sample the delights of Turkish food for themselves.

What? Win a lavish, no-holds-barred dinner for two at Osmanly!

Where? Located high up in the Kempinski Nile Hotel, Osmanly boasts a stunning view of the Nile and an ever-so kitschy take on traditional Turkish decor.

Why? Because as the only truly authentic Turkish restaurant in Cairo, it’s a must-try for all of the city’s foodies.

How do I get my hands on it? It’s all very easy; just answer the below question: From which infamous empire does Osmanly take both its name and its dishes? (Pssst – clues are here).
