Wonderful experience. I went with a friend of mine who was visiting Egypt for the first time and really wanted to try this place so we went without a reservation and the hostess was so kind and let us in. The staff were so respectful and attentive service was a 10/10. The food was also great starting from the incredible bread basket, it was sooo fresh and delicious. We got the goat cheese salad no notes 10/10. The shrimp pasta and the brisket risotto were also really good. Overall lovely experience and the view is to die for.

The location, the vibes, and the crisp winter weather come together to create an atmosphere that’s genuinely special. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed the moment you arrive. The food was equally impressive. The goat cheese salad was perfectly balanced — fresh greens, creamy cheese, and just the right touch of sweetness and acidity. The grilled chicken was another highlight: tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Overall, it’s one of those spots where the ambiance and the food complement each other perfectly, making it a memorable dining experience. Highly recommended!

We visited Crimson Cairo on a packed night and it definitely delivers on the hype. We waited a while for a table, but they still managed to fit us in, which says a lot given how busy it gets. We shared a mix of starters and mains, and everything was consistently good, well-executed and perfect for the table. What really makes this place though is the atmosphere. It’s a snazzy rooftop with a great crowd and beautiful views over the Nile, the kind of spot you go to for the full experience, not just the food. Unfortunately we weren’t drinking so didn’t get a chance to check out what their bar offers. Next time! Definitely one to keep on the list.

Great views and excellent location. The food arrived quickly, even though it was quite busy this Wednesday. The steak was excellent and generously portioned; easily enough for three people, although intended for two people as per the menu 😁. The starters, including the grilled squid and sea bass carpaccio, were delicious. The Rafaello dessert was especially good, with a perfect balance of sweetness and a light coconut crunch. Thank you for a lovely experience for our anniversary.

With beautiful uninterrupted view of the Nile, Crimson offers much more than just the view. With a rich breakfast menu of a variety of egg preparations, healthy vegan bowls, and decent coffee - combined with a diverse menu for lunch and dinner - Crimson makes a super reliable place. With one of the best vegan risottos, and a devilishly great mixed platter - crimson offers something excellent for everyone (taking care of preferences and allergies).
