A mixed grill platter — chops, kofta and chicken — with flatbread, sauces and salad.

Cairo · Zamalek, Nile side

Kebabgy

Egyptian grills on a terrace set at the river's edge.

€€€ High end

Kebab, kofta, mezze and fish served outdoors, on a wooden terrace running along the Nile in Zamalek. The cooking is classic and the view does the rest: one of the city's most pleasant evening terraces.

The extra bit

Ask for a front-row table: the second row loses the river behind other people's heads.

Know before you go

The terrace closes in bad winter weather: check before booking from December to February.
