Moghul Room

Giza


Mena House's long-running Indian restaurant specialises in tandoori dishes and mild North Indian–style curries with a good range of vegetarian dishes too. Though it’s a long taxi ride from Downtown, the opulent decor, good food and live sitar music make it worthwhile. Not entirely authentic but pleasant and beautiful surroundings.
