After arriving from Aswan, we were staying on the quieter west side of Luxor. We parked on an open street next to a wire fence then descended some stairs to what looked like an abandoned place and a bit dilapidated. I probably had a little bit of tunnel vision and didn't notice the outdoor tables and open park-like space next to you. It was honestly too hot at 48C to enjoy the area anyway.
The meal started with soup with pasta, dill, parsley and carrot. Bread was a little old I think, some smooth decent tahini, seasoned pasta and salad came along with the mains of tender beef shin stew with cartilage, a nicely charred okra stew, and a fried fish that was quite good although a little chewy.It would be a pleasant place to sit outside weather permitting. The inside was quite dated and not atmospheric (we were the only people in there too).
Drinks were charged in Euro and they wanted an exchange rate of 1:21 EGP which is a bit extortionate (1:18 is about right). Oh well, it's small amounts overall.
After lunch we discovered that our accommodation at Villa Sunrise was conveniently just down the road.
