Culina

Casual, contemporary, all-day dining, featuring a kitchen theater with a wide selection of international and local favorites with the best Friday brunch in town.

Reviewed By IhabTheTraveller

Whenever I go to the Ritz Carlton I take my breakfast at Culina. It has a wide variety of tasty Egyptian and International food. The chefs are really professional in preparing the Egyptian traditional food like fool mudamas, falafel, fetir and others. The smiling chef at the egg station would prepare the best omelette ever. The staff are really helpful and would like to help and support especially Chef Sameh ElSayed who guided me through all the stations. Chef Sameh prepared for me a tasty foul mudamas plate with fresh oven bread that was really different. Culina is a place that you will really enjoy the food and get a very good serviceDear IhabTheTraveller,Thank you for sharing your experience with us. I am happy to know you always enjoy your breakfast at Culina. I will personally send your kind note to Chef Sameh.We look forward to welcome you always to the hotel and to Culina.Kindest regards,
