What to Avoid (1)

Food 1

Dolma Net −1

“Butcher shop and a restaurant therefore the meat has to be as good and as fresh as you would expect. And it didn’t disappoint. The meat was tender, juicy and well seasoned. Only two items that were to my dislike were the lamb chops and the dolma. If you crave for Egyptian food then Tayba Gourmet is definitely a good choice to try. My advice is to stick to the meat section.”

The Bottom Line

Tayba Gourmet is an Egyptian restaurant in Al Safa that reviewers visit for traditional comfort food, family meals and a distinctly nostalgic atmosphere. You can order dishes such as stuffed pigeons, mumbar, molokhia, mixed grills and feteer meshaltet, or choose the open buffet for a wider spread of Egyptian options. The buffet also has a live cooking station, according to one breakfast review.

The food is commonly described as fresh, authentic and generously portioned. Plates are suitable for sharing, and one reviewer noted that some already come with rice, so you may not need an extra side. Lamb chops, tarb, tajin, hamam mehshi and rice pudding with Egyptian mango topping also receive specific praise, while one guest found the omelette only alright and another preferred the meat dishes overall.

The setting leans heavily into Egyptian nostalgia, with Oum Kalthoum and Abdel Halim songs, photographs of famous Egyptian actors and a Cairo-like feel. Service is often described as fast and attentive. Parking is a practical caveat: street parking can be difficult, valet is available but charged, and one guest disliked that cars were parked directly outside the entrance.

Music has also been too loud for some diners, so ask for it to be lowered if conversation is important.
