Many different dishes on the menu across the indian cuisine. I didnt like the interior and atmosphere of the restaurant. I couldnt feel really comfortable here but our dishes were all delicious.

Being a fan of indian food and having eaten it in Malaysia, Singapore, and INDIA, i can honestly say this is some of the best ive ever had. Prices are unbelievably reasonable when compared to other Cairo eateries. A must visit place if you want great food for good value in Cairo.

I have eaten at this restaurant countless times as it never fails to deliver. A particularly enjoyable experience is sitting on the rooftop and enjoying a meal whilst looking out over the city lights. You won't be disappointed!
