More information on Paprika

A favorite haunt of Egyptian media notables, this well-known restaurant sits in the shadow of the Radio and TV building, just a stone's throw from the Nile. The triangular chalet-style restaurant has dark wooden walls and dim yellowed lighting. There is plenty of seating, and you might end up opposite your favorite Arab actor or pop singer. Starters, including an unusual combination of lamb and mozzarella, while entrees may cost considerably more. Or splurge a little on grilled or baked fish, shrimp in curry sauce or the highly-acclaimed veal goulash. Alcohol is served at affordable prices.
