New One Hotel

What a delightful dining experience! Such a quirky, unique restaurant with delicious food and great service. Our waitress, Sara, was theatrical, entertaining and very funny. If you are looking for authentic Egyptian cuisine in an unusual setting full of character.
Look no further than Al-Koukh Restaurant in Cairo.

What a great find! We were just walking by when a bright neon sign caught our eye, so we decided to check it out. The atmosphere was amazing. Warm, inviting, and full of character. The staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. From the thoughtful design to the delicious food, it truly felt like being welcomed into someone’s home. Such a wonderful experience!

I had a decent breakfast at Alkoaa with my friend Bryan from the USA, giving it a 3 out of 5 stars. The spread included fresh, fluffy naan bread, a well-cooked sunny-side-up egg with a runny yolk, tasty scrambled eggs mixed with tomatoes and peppers, a creamy yogurt dip with veggies, and crispy falafel topped with sesame seeds. The Spanish latte was a nice touch, offering a rich espresso flavor balanced with smooth milk that complemented the meal. The tablecloth’s unique pattern added a cultural feel to the setting. Bryan enjoyed it too, especially the falafel, which was new to him! However, while the portions were generous, something felt a bit off—maybe the service or consistency could improve. It’s a good spot to try, but there’s room for enhancement.
Feel free to tweak it with any specific feedback slow service to reflect why you gave it 3 stars!

This is “New One Hotel” and I 100% recommend it! Excellent downtown location, very clean bathroom and bedroom. Friendly staff and very easy to find. We will definitely stay here next time we are in Cairo. Great value for money!
Yes — management messaged after the visit to write a review but I don’t believe there are any fake reviews.

Wonderful selection of Egyptian food. I came for breakfast twice and loved it. Staff is friendly and usually speak English. It is a cosy atmosphere with such unique decor.

Place: The place as in decoration is overall good but only one room that had AC, it was a good room though.
Food: we ordered kofta, tarb and grilled chicken.
Kofta was below average.
Chicken would be better if boneless, it was average.
Tarb was very good.
Service is a disaster and disappointment: we waited for 1 hour and 40 minutes for food and the reason is because they were changing shifts, they didn’t mention that it would take that long and didn’t even ask if it was okay for us to wait!
And after waiting for that long, two of our orders were not ready yet and they had to wait more!

Would 100% recommend this if it's not too hot outside. Even with the AC on we were sweating pretty bad. Food was delicious but there were way too many flies around which was pretty annoying.

Al-Koukh in Downtown Cairo offers more than just food – it’s a journey into Egypt’s nostalgic charm. The cozy, vintage décor is filled with old photos, antiques, and world currencies, creating a warm, authentic vibe.
The traditional breakfast was delicious and generous – falafel, ful, feteer, and more, all bursting with homemade flavor. A perfect spot for a relaxed, cultural meal in the heart of the city.

Fantastic experience, a gastronomic travel from the heart of a genuine Egyptian refined cuisine. People was super friendly and respectful 🙏

Would 100% recommend to anyone trying to get a good meal after visiting the bazaar!
Our server Islam gave us absolutely great service! Was very attentive, accommodating, and kind! You need to check this place out!

The place is special with its unique decor and Egyptian touch. We tried the traditional Egyptian breakfast, and it was delicious. We loved the taameya and Alexandrian foul, but the eggs were nothing special. Overall, it’s worth a try during your visit to Cairo. 👍🏻

Nice place for breakfast. The smoking part is more authentic and you can sit there on the floor / carpets. They also have a cool balcony.
Food was okay. Coffee was good.

Fantastic atmosphere, the service was great, kind people that know how to serve in a restaurant. We enjoyed the food, tasty and big portions. Good prices.
You neet to find the hotel Valencia, enterbthe building and get to the second floor.

What an incredible place for lunch! It’s impossible to find though — go into the Valencia Hotel and up two flights of stairs. Server spoke great English, food was served promptly, and it was delicious. Ask for their veggie/vegan menu separately.

We pay money for our comfort. I tried to get over the matter, but this is my observation so that the hotel manager understands and asks him if he can sleep on these mattresses or take them for his children to sleep on.
I tried to get over it, but it would be unfair to myself.
This is a message to the hotel management that we are not cats or animals.

Literal gem of downtown cairo. This place is amazing! The decor is wonderful, raw, genuine and truly egyptian. The food was also amazing. Stop by for a coffee or a bite, you will definitely be pleased. Also quiet and non-smoking.

Quite a gem in the local area, took us forever to find this restaurant. It’s located on the second floor of a hotel, with quite unique set up and vibe. The food was probably one of the best meals we have had so far in Cairo, chicken mushroom soup is just right in terms of thickness and creaminess (though ever so slightly salty), pasta was a bit too creamy for my liking, beef hawaswani was interesting, grilled cheese chicken with mashed potato was a hit, the rice soup thing was very unexpected — the soup was slimy, some of us liked it and some felt too weird.
