There’s always one iconic restaurant in the city that you hear everyone visits. For Cairo, it has been Qasr El Kababgy. Yes, we are talking about the one where the molokhia bubbles tableside, the kebabs sizzle, and the energy reminds us of nothing less than a movie set. But why are we talking about Qasr El Kababgy? Well, because it just got a serious makeover.
Egypt’s Qasr El Kababgy Gets A Glow-Up With Fine Dining
Qasr El Kababgy in Egypt has self-proclaimed it as the celebrity restaurant. This legendary spot decided to transform itself from the old-school glamour to something modern. It is overcoming his image of red chairs, gold trimmings, and that over-the-top opulence that screamed from the 90s. It’s trading it with modern white walls, elegant sculptures, and soft lighting. So, the restaurant that once felt like walking into an antique theatre will now give an art gallery vibe with its change in interiors and beyond.
From Old Cairo Charm To Modern Chic
The restaurant’s rebirth in Tagamoa will see huge changes. According to a report by SceneNow, expect this spot to be fine dining, but with Egyptian soul. Guess what’s not changing in here, though? Ofcourse, the famous molokhia show. But they have decided to elevate the entire experience by aligning it with live drums and a violinist to refresh your memory of the theatrical performance.
It’s going to be a paradise for teetotalers. There’s a full non-alcoholic bar mixing mocktails that are worth every bit to feature on your gram and keep you refreshed with every sip.
The Menu: Comfort With A Twist
What’s on the menu? Qasr El Kababgy continues to offer the oriental classics like kebab, mahshi, and molokhia. But only the presentation part has a complete change. The dishes now look more aesthetic than before. You’ll spot fattah plated like art, and even fajitas making an appearance. This shows the restaurant is focusing on keeping aesthetics full and appetite fuller.
The best part? Nothing feels forced. You can tell the chefs know exactly where to draw the line between nostalgia and novelty.
