It's a place that aims for historical authenticity, which is a draw for many, but can be hit-or-miss for others regarding the execution of dishes.

Sharm el-Sheikh: Where to Eat and Drink (Egypt)
Service was terrible, the food came out at different times for everyone, and the quality wasn’t what was expected. I ordered the rabbit and it was nothing like any rabbit I had ever eaten, and not in a good way. It was at this moment our group of four became forever known as the Egyptian Rabbits, and coined the term “Egyptian rabbit”, meaning “something that has been passed off as wonderful but completely below expectations”.
