Maxime’s has to be one of the best loved Luxor restaurants. I first found Maxime’s
over 10 years ago and I go back each year to find its as popular as ever. 
This friendly little restaurant offers a good selection of Egyptian and
International cuisine at extremely reasonable prices.  No fancy decor but
it’s spotlessly clean, the food is consistently good, unbeatable prices and friendly service. 
I can without doubt recommend this
restaurant.

“We have stayed in Luxor many times and each time we have our evening meals in Maximes. We have tried other places but have always come back to Maximes as we have found it the best. The lentil soup is the best! Wehave ordered most of the meals and they have all been good, the place is very clean and… more “

“Super value, good steaks, friendly service, very clean, polite waiters, we enjoyed it. My partner had several veggie dishes and felt they were bland – although she liked the place. I thought the meat dishes were great. It’s a little ‘basic’ but you get what you pay for. Recommended, and I think it’s the best one in this part of… more “

“we came across this restaurant has we have heard from people this restaurant is very nice , So me and my husband decide to try this, we had a walk around tv street and then walk down to maximes, the waiter was a nice man and gave us a window seat so we could see the real life of the… more “

“This place is handy if you are staying at the Sheraton, it’s just round the corner and better than the hotel restaurants, a lot cheaper too. The place is not that big though so can get a bit crowded. The food is good and the service attentive and unobtrusive. They do a mean karkady and as they do not serve… more “

“Me and my daughter ate once at this restaurant, it was ok. The food was very nice but the waiters were terrible, we sat in the non smoking floor. Once we ordered we waited 15 mins and still hadnt had our drinks, and had to ask for them, the starters where served and when we finished the bowls were not… more “

“We had a great meal (2 adults & 2 children) at Maxime, with a good choice from the menu. The food was good and the restaurant was very clean and reasonably priced. The staff were very attentive and helpful, and very good at keeping the kids happy and laughing. My only reservation is that the menu is best described as… more “

I’ve heard wonderful things about this Irish owned family run hotel and
restaurant.   Sadly we didn’t get chance to see for ourselves this
time but I’m looking forward to meeting the lovely Mara and sampling her
authentic Egyptian dining experience on our return trip to Luxor next month.

Sharm El Sheikh Holidays     

“Firstly I was staying at the attached hotel (Mara House – utterly superb), and ate here 3 nights. The organisation of the serving is slightly odd: there is one sitting starting about 7 and there is no menu to choose from as the idea is a “mini-banquet” to introduce you to common Egyptian dishes. The menu “rotates” every 3 days…. more “

“This is a great business concept. Serve everyone the same food, most of it from the cheapest possible ingredients (vegetables), on silver platters in a wonderful environment. and charge a high price – but one that is just a little cheaper than the big western hotels. Kerrching !! The building and furnishings are a delight and lots of effort has… more “

“What a huge let down! Following all the good reviews we were expecting something really special. The warm welcome that was so often mentioned was non-existent. We didn’t even know who Mara was, as the woman who opened the door to us didn’t introduce herself. The food comprised several courses of similar, mediocre food (especially the dish that looked and… more “

“After all the T/A reviews, we had to visit. The “complimentary” taxi, it’s included in the price of course, was a necessity as otherwise no one could find it in the back streets. Inside the atmosphere is like an old Egyptian’s grandees house, drapes, internal fountain, wonderful. The food consists of five courses with diners sitting at the same time…. more “

“Very disappointed with this establishment, Having visited it on the strength of Trip advisors reviews we were expecting a real treat, What we experienced was anything but. Firstly we had great difficulty actually finding the place. On arrival in a local taxi who had no knowledge of the Salahadeen we were told rather rudely “Well you should have booked and… more “

“Wonderful food and amazing atmosphere Thanks Mara more “

“We spent an enjoyable evening with two friends at Salahadeen.Everyone eats a set five course meal at 8pm, although I believe they are now sometimes serving only three courses. The service was excellent and the food very good. A lot of food is served but they make it clear that you don’t have to eat it all! We thought the… more “

“we had such an amazing dinner at salahadeen restaurant at mara house in luxor. this lace really is a jewel in a place where good authentic quality egyptian food is hard to come by. the host, mara is a delight and a wealth of information. the bar is warm and welcoming and the dining room is casually elegant and attractive…. more “

“I saw the reviews before travelling to Luxor and had high expectations. You can only eat at 8pm, everyone eats together, there is virtually no choice of what you eat, the food is mediocre and the cost is double what we paid at really good restaurants serving Egyptian food elsewhere in Luxor. I can only suppose that some of the… more “

“We visited the Salahadeen Restarant on 1st February 2019 to celebrate a “Special” birthday. It had been recommended by an American mother and daughter who had visited the Salahadeen earlier in the week. All of the arrangements, from the booking made with the owner, Mara, to the pick-up and delivery to the restaurant by mini-bus were without any hitch, and… more “

This restaurant certainly is one of Luxor’s hidden gems.  The entrance
tucked away at the top of a flight of stairs may be the reason why Jem’s is not
full to capacity every night.  We were welcomed by Albert the owner who
cooked us a special menu based on a selection of our favourite Egyptian dishes. 
Albert who regaled us with not only first class cuisine but many amusing stories
is a professional chef responsible for training many of the chef’s in the large
Luxor hotels.  Do give this place a try, great food at an unbelievable
price – don’t be put off by the entrance.

“Whilst on holiday in Luxor in september, my partner and I went to Jems restaurant for dinner and found it had a new owner.This individual has perfected the art of adding little extras to the bill, by suggesting extra dishes to compliment your order, which you think you are getting for nothing, but which find their way onto your bill…. more “

“We tried this restaurant after being a little wary as the entrance is not very appealing, however, once up the stairs we were more than happy. The owner Albert greeted us and when he saw we were having difficulty selecting from the extensive menu he asked whether we would like some help. He even offered to do us a special… more “

“Reasonable atmosphere, quite authentic, tasty food at low price (cheapest we ate in?). The down side – some other reviews mention ‘frozen veg’ not fresh – totaly true – but in tasty sauces. Worth a visit. We went to about 10 restaurants, this would be ranked around the middle. Was always quiet when we looked at it each day /… more “

“Jems’ in Luxor, near the Sheraton hotel, is a little gem!! The food was excellent, service great and exceptionally good value for money! The owner is an Egyptian/Italian, who knows, and has lived in, Cornwall; he speaks English fluently. Don’t be put off by having to enter the restaurant through an alley between shops – once up the stairs, you… more “

“2 – 16 Feb 2019 During our stay at the Sonesta St George we went to Snobs, the Puddleduck, Abu Aggar and Jems amongst others. Snobs and Puddleduck servered indifferent English/European – Abbu Aggar grilled Egyptian. Jems serverd both European and egyptiona food and trumped both Snobs and the Puddleduck. I agree with the previouis review – just let Albert… more “

“We were in Luxor end of November ’08 and found this little ‘gem’ too late. Owned and run by Albert who is a teacher at the local catering college. Ask him to prepare you an authentic egyptian meal stipulating fish (recommeded) beef or chicken and your preferred level of spiciness. Three courses two beers came to LE160 and was superb…. more “

Restaurant 1886 is the smaller of two restaurants located at the Sofitel
Winter Palace.  Luxury on a grand scale, formal dress code – tie and jacket
is a must for men and smart dress for ladies.  If you want to splash out
and have an unforgettable evening this is the place to go.  A night you
will always remember, the only Luxor restaurant with exquisite surroundings and
an extensive a la carte menu (French cuisine) will ensure this is a night to
remember.  Prices are reasonably high by Egyptian standards but modest for
this calibre of restaurant when compared to European prices.  Starting at
around 500-600LE for a meal and drinks for two, excellent value.

“People come to this restaurant to have Silver Service and you have to dress accordingly, i.e. men require a jacket & tie. Some people may feel uncomfortable in that sort of environment Silver Service is not like eating at Macdonalds – It can be a slow process. The food is good and freshly cooked. The idea is not to wolf… more “

“A beautiful room with dress code (jacket & tie) and limited covers (booking essential) – service was slow and we drank a bottle of wine whilst waiting for the starters! Food was ok but nothing outstanding – egyptian wine priced well but imported wines exorbitant. more “

“i ate here with my girlfriend on a wednesday evening, and it was very quiet… i think the reason for this is that most people arrive/depart on wednesdays so it is probably the least busy evening to visit. the service was great, and the food was very very enjoyable, you will need to book any other night as the restaurant… more “

We first tried this Luxor restaurant 3 years ago, on returning last week we
were delighted to see their food and service was still of the same high
standard.  Glad to see they still had the lovely potato skins and garlic
mayonnaise on the menu.  We followed this with Beef Shwarma and my partner
had a steak in a delicious tomato sauce.  Very accommodating, chef did us a
special salad not listed on the menu even though the restaurant was fairly busy. 
This Luxor restaurant is licensed and served a reasonable red and white wine at
half the price you can expect to pay back in your hotel.  Whilst not the
cheapest restaurant in Luxor, the food was of a high standard and therefore
value for money.  Two starters and 2 main courses together with a bottle of
wine came to 185LE around the £20 mark.  Well worth adding to your list of 
Luxor restaurants to visit.

“My daughter and I have just returned from a week in Luxor and visited 7 days several times during the course of the week.

If you are a non-smoker, go when it is quiet! Even the chef smokes (by the door of the restaurant). Service was… more “

“Went here last week, food was good, and service excellent. You can sit upstairs in the bar for a drink whilst you order. The restaurant was clean, and nice and cool in the hot evening.

Wow, this restaurant certainly lives up to it’s name.  An extensive menu
and faultless food.  I started with the chicken tikka which was tasty and
moist, followed by Tandori King Prawns and a delicious naan bread, my partner
opted for the chicken tikka masala with rice.  The restaurant itself was
smart and clean. The service quick and the waiters attentive.  The bill for
1 starter, 2 mains, 2 side dishes and 2 chilled beers came to an incredible
175LE, not bad considering I’d had the king prawns.  I can certainly
recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for some decent Indian food.

“The two young lads on waiter service work very hard in this restaurant. The meal was very good and value for money. go here if you want an authentic Indian currie or English type meal. Highly recommended. more “

“This restaurant is beautifully lit and decorated-very romantic. The music was soft and well-chosen. A chilled glass and the local Stella (not the Artois sort!) is very welcome after a sweltering day. I stuck to curry but my husband had a steak one evening and loved it. The dupiaza is lovely but the ceylon, particularly, the king prawn one, is… more “

“I visit Luxor on a regular basis. Every time I visit, the Taste of India is a must. Love the food, love the service and have never had a bad meal. If you go later in the evening when the rush has died down then Russel, the owner, has time to sit and have a drink and a chat with… more “

“went to this restaurant in august 2019. the word bland sprang immediately to mind. all the dishes were just plain and tasteless. not worth the visit at all. the taste was not indian at all. i wonder if they have an indian chef. more “

“Although we spent most of our holiday trying to find authentic Egyptian cuisine, the Taste of India became our favourite place during our stay. All of the food is cooked fresh there and then, wonderful starters, top notch curries and a good choice of desserts (fruity pancakes). If you go try the Tandori King Prawns huge and delicious. Aside form… more “

“Although this restaurant serves international cuisine, we went here because it’s primarily an Indian restaurant, and because we like Indian food! The air conditioning is superb, this has got to be the coolest place in Luxor! Service is very friendly and attentive, without being ‘in your face’. The food is very good indeed, the usual range of dishes you’d expect… more “

“I have eaten here before when the running of the place seemed a bit hap hazard, though never the food. Glad to say that on this years visit, everyone knew their own job, and didn’t get involved in other peoples. The food was good, the service was good, and as we were leaving a table of 8 Indian diners came… more “

“Very good food, meat okay, but everything else was excellent. Flavours super. Chilli Naan was by far the best I have ever had. Service super. Big thumbs up, as good as you will find anywhere in the UK. No smoking between 6.30 and 9.30 – a super idea. more “

“Having just returned from two weeks in Luxor, wanted to write about this restaurant. After eating at other establishments, we felt this was the best. They serve a good selection of ‘international’ food, such as cheese and potato pie, chilli, etc, but we ate Indian and found it to be better than the ones we have at home. The portions… more “

A refreshing change to eat in a Luxor restaurant on the West Bank.  A
short taxi ride, or for the more adventurous the local ferry located opposite
Luxor Temple, costing only pennies or should I say piasters. As Luxor
restaurants go not very appealing from the outside but once upstairs you can sit
at a table and enjoy wonderful views across the Nile to Luxor Temple. This Luxor
restaurant provides tasty Egyptian dishes at a fraction of the price of the
restaurants you will find on the East Bank.  My partners tells me they do a
“mean pizza” as well, although I prefer to stick with the local cuisine. 
Our 3
courses and a soft drink (for two) came to a very modest 90LE (less than £10). 
Well worth a visit not only for the food but great photo opportunities.

Sharm El Sheikh Holidays     

“This is quite an easy restaurant to find, it’s on the west bank, and well worth the trip. Take the national ferry (LE1) and turn left as you get off, follow the dockside for about 175 yards, past the camel park and go up the staircase of the first building on your right. Don’t be put off by the dingy… more “

We spent two evening at this lively Luxor restaurant during our stay last
month and thoroughly enjoyed the experience on both occasions. Located next to
Nefertiti Hotel, it offers outdoor dining, tables being situated on a narrow
street adding to the atmosphere.  Egyptian cuisine with a strong Lebanese
influence (try their delicious lentil soup, would love to have the recipe).
If you only fancy some refreshment do try their coffee shop, an excellent selection of
teas available.

Good food, friendly service and reasonably priced.  A definite for
our return trip next month.

I found the Amoun Restaurant a fairly run of the mill restaurant, nothing to get excited about.
They
serve the usual Egyptian and Mediterranean menu of meats, fish, chicken,
rice dishes and pizzas.  The food was well cooked, staff were friendly and
prices reasonable.   There are certainly better restaurants in Luxor
to while away a pleasant evening but the Amoun restaurant more than acceptable for a lunchtime
meal.

“I have been eating in this resturant for 10+ years both at the old venue & now at NEW Amoun in Savoy strret, Luxor. The staff are of long service & remain polite & helpful as ever.

We did not personally try this restaurant having received very
mediocre comments from several new friends at our hotel.  The overall
opinion was ‘thought it was ok but nothing special. Much preferred the Taste of
India which had better, food, service and prices’. Having tried the Taste of
India ourselves and thoroughly enjoyed it we decided, on this trip at least, not try the Bombay.  
Can only go on hearsay for this restaurant (although this
was the general view of all 12 friends).

Sharm El Sheikh Holidays     

“Nice starters, meat was okayish, a warm welcome, closer to Brit prices than other restaurants we visited, we had a ‘service charge’ we weren’t expecting, but it was still reasonable value. Worth a visit, but not as good as Taste of India. more “

“Although the Lonely Planet recommends this restaurant, it has been through a few transformations since then. The current Bombay is not connected with the old Bombay. The old one was fine. The new one looks OK but the staff are very casual (playing computer games when we were there) and the food nondescript. There is another Indian restaurant in Luxor… more “

“This restaurant is recommended by Lonely Planet. Though we are not Indians (we did sample a lot of Indian food in US & Asia), we can tell the curry is no good.
