Top 10 Middle Eastern food in Luxor, Nile River Valley, Egypt

August 13, 2020 Jana Sager

Reviews on Middle Eastern food in Luxor, Nile River Valley, Egypt. The Luxor in Las Vegas is to the actual CITY of Luxor, Egypt, as marshmallow fluff is to fois gras. (We’re sure you knew that. We just enjoy analogies.) Sure, the hotel/casino in Vegas might have a beam of light visible from space, but we bet you'll find a hot-air balloon ride over the Valley of Kings much more illuminating. (Editor's note: Our list was compiled before political unrest prompted many countries to issue travel warnings for Egypt. If you're currently planning a trip to Egypt, please consider the risks and monitor your government's travel alerts.)

El Tarboush

Reviewed By MONKEYBUZZ

Located inside the Steigenberger hotel courtyard. Great place for lunch or dinner with view of the stage for night shows. Tasty Lebanese food so bring your appetite. The meal starts with tasty bread plus 4 dipping sauces, all delicious and before you know it you are almost full to have your meal. Once the meal arrives it's so good that you will stuff yourself. I'm partial to the chicken dishes accompanied by vegetables and fries or garlic rice. We tried the beef shawarma but not as tasty as the chicken. The spicy seafood grill was really flavorful and left us wanting more. Good service, waiter and chef make themselves visible and make sure the food is to your liking.Dear Monkeybuzz,Thank you very much for visiting the Steigenberger Nile Palace hotel and choosing 'El Tarboush' to spend the evening and satisfy your appetite. We are delighted that we have contributed to a memorable holiday with an adventurous dinner experience and we hope you will be able to come back soon to try some more.With best regards,Amina Saady van BaarsenGuest Relation Manager

We spent a lot of time here during our 4 months in Luxor. Simple delicious food, friendly atmosphere, great service and gorgeous cats in abundance. Beautiful garden cafe with a tranquil relaxed atmosphere - perfect for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just a drink. Khaled is a wonderful host and always a joy to see him, his staff and the lovely pusscats. We will be back soon!

Nile View Restaurant

Reviewed By srssoton

The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Friendly service and lovely view of the Nile. It's located a five minute walk from the ferry terminal on the West Bank, so easy to get to if you're staying on the East Bank, (which we were). We went back two nights in a row because we were so impressed. No alcohol served but bar next door so we had a drink first and then went for food!

Oasis Palace

It has moved into the former "Oasis Cafe" building, across from the Bank of Misr. Please call ahead to arrange free transportation.

Reviewed By Soumendu29

OASIS PALACE restaurant is a real oasis for the gourmets in Luxor. Delicious food, extremely hygienic, highest level of warmth and hospitality, extremely reasonable price, awesome heritage ambiance. The building is 110+ years old. Much obliged by the hospitality of Mr Romane (the owner) and Mr Malak. When you’re in Luxor, if you don’t visit this restaurant, you’ll miss something as important as any historical place. We’re overwhelmed and feeling fortunate to visit this place. This is just 2 minutes walk from the office of Luxor Governorate and 1 minute walk from river Nile.

Reviewed By imjeremih

Don’t pay attention about the entrance.. it can be scary but once you are upstairs, you can appreciate the roof and the Nile view. We tried their special beef and the chicken and banana meals, it was the best lunch we had all over Egypt. The owners are kind, and it’s very cheap. You must go there is you are in the East bank.

Africa Restaurant

Reviewed By loratta

while visiting the east and West Bank, we stopped in this restaurant as it was included in our tour. For the Egyptian standards I wasn't expecting the tasty and lovely food we had. I would recommend the lentil soup, delicious! And the staff absolutely nice and polite. The view of the river nile is just stunning!

Sunflower Restaurant West bank

Your favourite waiter from the Africa Restaurant (Ahmed/Adam) has taken his expertise and experience and opened his own restaurant specialising in traditional Egyptian Food, like Mama makes. The house specialities are Stuffed Roast Quail, Camel Meat Targi

Reviewed By eLaReF

As I've written before, This is one of my must-go places. Two enjoyable meals this trip.one solitary and one with friends.Ahmed was ever the congenial host & the food was fresh & hot.It was during the daily temps of 45C so I was careful to sit under a fan, but Ahmed quickly switched on one of the portable Air/Con blowers. OK, I had to trap the menus under the cutlery to stop them from flying away, but I wasn't going to complain!Very pleasant experiences

Reviewed By RinneDo

The food here was just amazing! The menu offers a wide range of traditional Egyptian starters and main dishes. I was also pleased to find several options for vegetarians and vegans. The staff is very professional and polite and speaks very good English. Ibrahim in particular is welcoming and friendly and speaks French very well. Prices are also amazing.. we had an lovely dinner for 2, for just about 10€, including 2 teas and desserts!! If you are looking for a nice traditional Egyptian restaurant in Luxor that is tourist-friendly, Sofra is the definitely the right place.
