Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Visit early. Go before sunset if you want to enjoy the view, and consider lunch when one review found the restaurant not crowded.

Allow time. Build in extra time for the meal, especially during holidays, when one breakfast visit took over an hour.

The Bottom Line

Kazoza is an Egyptian restaurant in Al Safa where the main appeal is a combination of traditional food and a view towards Atlantis and the dancing fountain. You can come for breakfast, sandwiches or a full meal; reviews specifically mention molokhiya, hawawshi, Alexandrian liver and pigeon with moamar rice. The food is often described as fresh, generous and close to home-style Egyptian cooking.

The setting works well for families, friends and larger groups, with indoor and outdoor seating and a relaxed atmosphere. Several diners appreciated staff who explained unfamiliar dishes and helped them choose. Drinks are worth noting too: one review singled out the fresh watermelon juice and Moroccan tea, while kunafa with cream and Om Ali were praised as dessert choices.

There are a few practical caveats. Service has sometimes been very slow, including a wait of more than an hour during a holiday period, and one visit involved food arriving cold and a beef order being served as lamb. Prices were described as high by some diners, though others felt the location and views made them acceptable.

Portions can be substantial, so sharing is sensible; a one-kilo mixed grill was said to serve three or four people. Ask about parking validation, and arrive before sunset if the view is part of the plan.
