Review: Studio Misr - New Cairo - Egypt

Review:

Name: Studio Misr

Category: Grill

Location: Meeting point, New Cairo, Egypt

Rating: 3.5/5

This review goes back a while but I didn't get a chance to blog it.

Back in 30/4/2010.....

Me and the family decided to have a late lunch/dinner somewhere near home. I had just heard that Studio Misr opened in Meeting point in New Cairo,,,so thats where we went.

The decoration of the place is great. Full of people and that was a problem for the waiters, as well as making us wait more than 45 minutes for our order :( We ate the salads and appetizers which made us full :(

The grilled meat, kofta and chicken were all great. Tender juicy meat. Plus the bread is hot and as far as I can tell is baked in the kitchen. Sorry i didn't photograph the meat we were that hungry! :p

But over all, I would definitely go there again, just when its not full!

Cupcakes :)

This is a new project im starting with recipes, ideas and hopefully a lot of pics :) Stay tuned ;)
