All kinds of grills including lamb,beef and chickens with eastern sorts of salad and (if needed ) another eastern dish like rise ..etc..The restaurant is very large, comfertable ,wide and busy the whole day .It's of several floors and that's why it's called village. Every thing here is special and distinguished.
The place is in Portsaid .. the city which locates on the mediterranean sea and Swais channel.. This restaurant reminds you you to be a 100 % sea living being. Murjan ... This kind of fish they know it ..and ..well .. lots of seafood.
Egyptian cuisine is very similar to other Arab and Middle East cuisines. Beans are usually offered as starter, as well as different kinds of salads or hummus and eggplant purée. Roast lamb and Nile fish are good options as main dish. I found mangoes particularly sweet and delicious in Egypt. Thankfully my stomach is iron proof and I could enjoy drinking a refreshing freshly squeezed mango juice from the street vendors whenever I felt thirsty. But the experience of most of the people that came to visit is that this habit is not advisable for most tourists.
Go to Khan-el Khaili in Cairo..its a local souk/market area..with various souvenir shops and restaurants. Try the various Egyptian cuisines...from Fool and Falafel...to Koshari! The desserts and sweets are also great to try. There's the Baklava, Konafa and Basbousa..which you might find very tasty! Khan el Khalili also has alot of coffee shops that are great to visit.
This little cafe can be found on right on the Corniche of the Nile river in Luxor. With comfortable cane furniture you may choose to eat inside or outside of the Cafe. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and will never forget your face. Having only dined outside, I watched the world go by by sipping a nice cool freshly made Guava juice and watching the flucca's and Cruise liners go down the Nile. Everything I tried at this little place was beautiful and fresh which was rare in Egypt. The Tuna salad was always a delight and washed down with some of the Metropolitian's fresh juices always made me smile. This little cafe is great for lunchtime dining as it can get a bit cool in the evenings (we were in Egypt in December and January) and the food may not fill some people up as much as they would like as they mainly sell salads such as the Tuna and Caesar and light meals plus those...

I cannot remember too much about the restaurants where we ate, but I also do not recall suffering any problems! Due to the great heat we were forced to partake of the occasional beer at various street cafes! I liked the size of those bottle - they reminded me of those in Zaire.
There is something special about walking down a litter filled street complete with various odours, roaming feral cats, rats and turkeys, only to find a local street vendor making food with his bare hands. But it is all worth it. There were two main dishes that we commonly enjoyed. The first which is 100% street food was falafels. They would whip these up in front of you frying the ground chick peas in a basin of boiliing oil then filling a pita with the falafel balls, lettuce, tomato, sauce and spice. All for one Egyptian Pound or about 25 cents US.The second and my abslolue favourite was koshari. Which you usually have to actually go into a resataurant, but they only serve the one item. It is a combination of ring shapped noodles, rice, dried onions, a red sauce and hot spices. Absolutely fantastic! You pay by the size of a bowl ranging from 1-4 Egyptian Pounds or .25 to 1 USD.
Well, I'm a fussy eater....ask anyone. I'm allergic to so much food that I really have to scour a menu before I can even enter a restaurant so to say that I ate at this restaurant all 3 days I was there is saying something. The Aswan Moon is on a floating stage on the Corniche right on the Nile. The food is plentifull, cheap and very good. The bread is excellent and though I can't eat vegetables everyone else said the Egyptian potato soup was out of this world! Steak again I'm afraid. You won't get me eating much else but the bread here was so nice I ate nothing but this on my third trip. Seriously, you wouldn't reccomend many places on their bread but if your passing, try it!
Try anywhere that isn't aiming at tourist customers specifically. I'm talking about in places like Cairo and Luxor. That's not to say find the seediest looking, food poision risk you can find. Rather if you delve into the smaller streets you'll actually get to sample what Egyptians do, go, and especially eat day-to-day. Instead of sampling what every other European, American etc. is doing. I can't remember what the best place I tried was called, but did a marvelous meal with a variety of kebabs, seemingly endless food for 3 people, I genuinly mean about 8 plates stocked high with main meals.
