Restaurant El Kababgy is situated on the east bank of the
river Nile directly opposite the Winter Palace. We enjoyed a light lunch and a
drink here and were so impressed decided to return the following day for our
evening meal. The cuisine is Egyptian/International with an extensive menu
to choose from. We both started with soup followed by a mouth watering
lamb tagine for myself and the grilled chicken for my partner. Both meals were
of generous proportions and extremely well cooked. This was not the
cheapest meal we’ve had but taking into account the wonderful views I found it
good value at just under 190LE for two including drinks (certainly cheaper that
eating in the hotels).
“I would rather starve than eat in this so called restaurant, don’t be fooled by the Egyptian owner speaking charming English. The food was less than poor and the portions ridiculously small. My wife tried the pasta and it was terrible! I had the beef steak and was the worst i has experienced in the world. Look arround for better… more “
“I must have different standards on views to some other people. The restaurant is on the Nile, I think. We were first positioned under the exhaust of a cruise ship, which were 8 deep along the entire frontage. We made our escape to an inside table. The evening went down hill from there. If you like everything deep fried you’re… more “

“When visiting in May we were staying at the Pavilion of the Winter Palace, so we ate here for lunch on most days, really for the convenience of the place as it’s just across the road and not too far too walk when it’s really hot. The owners of the Kababgy also own the Metropolitan and the bowling club all… more “
“We had spent many an evening in the el Kebabgy on visits a few years ago, watching feluccas and cruise ships go to & fro. It has now grown and is covered in, having lost, in our opinion, some of it’s charm, with large noisy fans to keep everyone cool In May, when we were in Luxor, we were walking… more “
“Great place for a light snack / meal or drink looking out over the nile. We went there a couple of times at sunset just to soak up the view. The food is OK, no better or worse than many places in Luxor and the place is much cleaner than some that we ventured into. It’s not authentic old style… more “

“bad service. bad food. extremely poor attention from the manager who purported to be customer friendy. We were only having appetizers, but waited over an hour for 3 platters. when they arrived there were various things missing versus the menu description of the platters. The staff argued that chicken was mozzarella sticks and that the honey mustard dressing on a… more “
“Had an enjoyable meal here. Overlooks the Nile on the Corniche and this is reflected in the prices, dearer than those in the back streets of the town more “
“This restaurant was overpriced and the quality of food poor, we would not go there again. more “
