Fodor's Expert Review El Tarboush

This restaurant in the gardens of the Winter Palace Hotel sits under the canopy of mature palm fronds, serving excellent Egyptian food in a lovely, quiet setting with views of the beautifully lit hotel. There's a full range of hot and cold mezze for starters; main courses include a decadent stuffed pigeon, shish tawouk (chicken kebab), or a tender mixed grill. There's a full bar service and wine list.
