best seafood at affordable prices in the city, no question. feels super authentic and homey. everything is fresh and served fast — no frills but full of flavor. come with a crew so you can try more. great for lunch or lowkey dinner. need to go back to try everything. fried shrimp and scallops were so fantastic. the bread and dip is fab too.

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.

fresh seafood; pick what you want and they'll cook it as u wish to order. really solid food but the owner seems rude as the other reviewers have said. restaurant was silent, reflecting that sort of tense atmosphere, and I was kinda ignored. scallops weren't fully seasoned, solid tajine. seafood only sold by the 1/2lb decent for solo dining but otherwise I'd imagine the atmosphere would dampen the vibe of a group hang
