Alfi Bey Restaurant

Founded in 1938, the Alfi Bey restaurant is in El Alfy Street, in the historic center of Cairo. It is a traditional restaurant, with an old decor to match. Some of the waiters have worked there all of their lives, and must surely be close to retirement age now! The menu is in English, but poorly translated, sometimes hard to understand, but this is common in the neighbourhood. Just open the door, and you'll take a journey through time, with wood furniture and copper accessories ... The service is pretty fast, you can eat all the traditional dishes, Fattah, kefta, babaganug, pigeon meat stuffed with herbs ...
