This Italian =style coffee shop and restaurant has a pleasant rust and dark chocolate decor. Unfortunately the sofas are covered in plastic which makes clothes wet when sitting for a long time. There is no pressure from the staff to make you move , even after a couple of hours!
The Ac was not cool enough on the day we went, but the large scrren Tvs allow football fans to watch in comfort.
Outside there is aterrace and garden.
Favorite Dish: I didn't eat, but enjoyed a glass of mango juice, I believe the cheesecake and the Black Forest Gateau are very good.
A meat dish costs between £s 23-25
Sandwich about £s 18
Continental Breakfast £15; American breakfast £18
Coffee £10-14
Fruit juice £14

I have used this as a takeaway pizza place.
Favorite Dish: The margherita is nice with a thin crust, plenty of tomato and cheese The pizza is large, but when there are hungry children involved it is safer to buy two!

There are two shops of this name , one in Amarat and the other in Riyadh. Both are busy, especially at breakfast time with a constant flow of people coming to collect sandwiches to have during their breakfast break. The surroundings are nothing special, but the food is good and cheap.
Favorite Dish: The taamia [felafel] is light and good, and the kofta is made from fresh meat, and served with tahina sauce. Both are good and filling.

This unassuming building from the outside, is something else when you actually taste the food. Apart from a modest sign beside the gate, you'd probably mistake this for a private house. Inside the courtyard are tables with bright yellow parasols.
We had a table for 8 and ordered a mixture of pizzas and meat dishes, fruit juices and then ice cream. The bill came to 342 SP.
The service was quite good, and the food was first class, even my husband's cappuccino, which he rarely enjoys outside Italy.
Meat dishes are around 32 SP; Pizzas about 25 SP, ice cream 10 SP and fruit drinks 9 SP.
Opening hours:
Lunch 12 - 15.30
Dinner 18.30 -23.00
Note: during lunch and dinner 4.5 SP cover per person per table and 10% service tax and 15% VAT are added to the bill
Inside is a display of paintings for sale, and hand-made jewellery which looked very nice ranging from 35-100Sp.
Favorite Dish: The margherita I had had a crisp thin crust and was absolutely delicious. My son and a daughter had lemon escalope which was tender and out of this world, with sauted potatoes with rosemary,
The oven cooked lamb was also tender and tasty. And the pizza napolitano was devoured.

If you are going to eat one local dish here you need to try the fresh grilled lamb (salat?). The northern Arabs tend to like the grilled goat but the local Sudani's prefer the more tender lamb.
If you are a bit concerned about hygiene here...no worries. I tend to have a sensative stomach but no problems here. They charge by the kilo and then after the butcher chops it up they hand it off to the women in the back who add a little local spice to it over hot coals and cook away. If you are not brave enough to eat here it is still worth checking out the meat market.
Favorite Dish: A Sudani steak house? Well as close as it gets....there are numerous stalls here..try and choose the one with the most people in it...a sign that the food is good

I had breakfast here a few times and dinner once. The menu changes daily but the food is fresh and cooked to order. It is on the roof and when I was here in Oct the flys were not a problem..just warm air and a chance to interact with some of the many NGO workers staying at the Guesthouse.
Favorite Dish: Depends on the night..the staff is very attentive. all of my meals were fine

Not a lot of local places here..this one stands out because it is clean and does not have a separtate section for women and children to eat in which seems odd to most westerners but in this region it is a sign well run establishment as they do not attract the younger immature males that pester women.
Favorite Dish: Pizzas are fine here..they also sanwiches, pasta and salads..the inside is spotless and they have an upstairs dining area with a view of the street.

Sorry that I don't have more info on the place as I forgot to get it. My friend took me here my first night..you can get shwarma, hummus, and other snacks for a couple of bucks here. When we ate here on Monday night it was full with locals as well as younger UN/NGO kids..it had the feel of a college cafateria.
Favorite Dish: It's all good here...my favorite place in Khartoum.

This is a popular place with the expat crowd as well as some locals. More or less a sandwich shwarma shop. I got a quick bite here on the way back to my friend's place since she could not stop at Ozone due to security issues for US Govt. employees
Favorite Dish: This place is a bit average but close to the Bougainvilla and UN offices in Riyadh which makes it popular

This large restaurant and takeaway is Egyptian owned. The decor is simple but pleasant, painted in terracotta and a bisque shade. There is a clearly labelled WC.The restaurant apparently has a busy lunchtime clientele during the working week but on the Fridays we went only 5 tables were occupied. The service was fine and the menu was varied and about average. A salad bar is in the centre of the restaurant, self-service, at £5 Sudanese per head. Fine chapatti -like bread was provided which was very good.
Outside there is some parking, but beware of the begging children. One approaches your car. Give him a coin, and immediately others appear from nowhere.
Favorite Dish: I had meat kofta with vegetables and rice the first time we went.. The vegetables could have been cooked a few minutes longer, but otherwise the food was mediocre. My daughter and grand-daughter had mushroom picata which they ate with relish. Next time we went I had breaded escalope which was excellent, and was given two huge pieces which I couldn't finish.
A doggy bag is available to take home what you can't eat.
