Stopped by Abuqir for lunch and was seriously impressed! We had grilled octopus, seared scallops, Egyptian rice, grilled whole shrimp, fried calamari, and grilled red snapper. Everything was incredibly fresh, seasoned just right, and cooked perfectly. One thing to know is that the dining experience is a bit different (in a good way). Once your table is ready, the waiter will tell you to head over to the seafood stand to pick out what you want. They’ll then cook it up fresh to order and it shows in the flavor. Indoor seating is limited and cozy, with a few outdoor tables available when the weather cooperates. It’s casual and no-frills, but if you’re into high-quality seafood without the fuss, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend for seafood lovers looking for something authentic and delicious!

You better sit outside the vibes were outstanding. Food was exactly like eating seafood in Egypt. Everything was very tasty and the service was great. I highly recommend this place we ordered shrimp fried and butterfly. Both of them were great. We ordered fish rice and salad. Everything was perfectly made.

If you like grill fresh seafood, you must try this restaurant. The seafood here is very very fresh, you select the raw seafood you see in the counter. They grill everything to the perfection. We love their grill scallops, river giant shrimp, squid, etc…the Greek salad and tahini were very good as well. We enjoyed everything and will come back again. Need to go there early or you need to wait for the table.

First time at this seafood spot and we had a great time. There is limited seating space so it's normal for there to be a line to get a table. Inside it's quite casual, nothing super fancy. There is a friendly staff member who helps you order the fish available and guides you through the process. We ordered shrimp, lobster tail, branzino, and salmon. We also ordered a side of Egyptian rice. Everything was cooked very well with great seasoning. Pricing was quite reasonable for fresh seafood and service was great.
