Sofra
Specialises in Egyptian food with a groovy decor of Egyptian antiques and antique-like furnishing. Gives you a Western-style experience with Egyptian food. Very friendly service that can be a little slow at times. It's expensive for Egypt with starters around 10-25 LE, mains around 30-60 and juices 10-20. Because it's the top pick of a very well known guidebook series, you really do need to book here otherwise you'll be turned away at the door.

Classy restaurant with anemphasis on fish and seafood along with classic Egyptian food. Tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. The presentation of the food is lovely and the staff and owner are welcoming without being obnoxious.
El Zaeem
Main road bordering the market, bright lights, two levels sitting upstairs, 'chain' feel, red uniforms. offers fresh simple and very cheap food such as shwarma and hawashi for 5 le or less. note that they have an arabic menu with the 'correct' prices, and an english menu or no menu at all with made up prices for foreigners anywhere between 10-25 le for shwarma!. therefore, reading arabic is a necessity for the local price!
