What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Metro Restaurant is celebrated for its delicious Upper Egyptian cuisine, especially dishes like grilled pigeon and lamb chops. Many diners rave about the exceptional and attentive service, with specific mentions of staff members like Hamdy and Yassin. The stunning sunset views over the Nile add a magical ambiance, making it a memorable dining experience. While generally praised, a few reviews noted minor inconsistencies in food preparation or freshness on specific occasions.
"Found this through Google search as one of the good rated restaurants on Luxor. We had a family lunch here. The staff were pretty relaxed, the food was good. Lamb chops (ribs) were pretty good, and so was the chicken gravy and the rice mixed with vermillion pasta. Cappuccino was good, too. The staff guarding the restroom was very zealous, in a funny way, as he was spraying room fresheners and offering toilet papers all the time, so a tip is definitely recommended 😊"

"Had a great dinner watching the sunset with Yassin serving us. We ordered a bunch of dips and they also brought us a free tahini which was excellent! All the dips came with Egyptian bread. Really reasonable prices and not a tourist trap. Would highly recommend!!"

"Their food is so good! Grilled pigeon is a must try! Top level dish! Every dish i tried is so good! Even the vege soup and the dipping source they gave me for free was so tasty! I finished everything and ate much more than i should! Would definitely go back if I visit Luxor again! I rarely give 5 star for food. This restaurant totally deserves 5 star. Lucky they have such a good chef! the juice is good and fresh as well! Asked them to add no additional sugar in the juice and they followed the instruction. Price is very good for this level of food."
