Abou Shakra
I had lunch at Abou Shakra today and so far its the best place I’ve eaten at since I’ve arrived to Egypt (not including the burger I had at Four Seasons).
The place is very clean, the presentation of the food is really great and the prices are pretty cheap. I had the mushroom soup since it was recommended by a reader and surprisingly I liked it a lot. For my main course I had the Abou Shakra kofta and although it wasn’t fantastic it was pretty decent, much much better than the one I had at Al-Rifai.
If you’re in Egypt next time this is a restaurant I would recommend.

@ Armani Exchanger – ok im missing the point ur tryin to make..cinema metro is in Farwaniya the street behind crowne plaza. how difficult would it be for people to spot it and realise somethin like tht exists! Anyway how do i know u really cut ur hands! or are those words u like throwin around for no sane rhyme or reason!

@ Armani Exchanger: Dude I’m arab and i dont’ understand what the hell “my eye on you is cold” means!

@Armani Exchanger
Prepare to be cripple and cut them hands my friend coz there is such a thing as Metro Cinema. Like any other Cniema Plex.. Sharq Mall Sharqiya?? Avenues?? Marina ?? ring a bell?? this one too is located in a Mall called the Metro. Its in Farwaniya on Main Street located on the 1st floor.
By the way I know a good prosthetic agent and I can hook you up with some cool HOOKS at a discount incase you are interested. ;-)
