Why Travelers Love Saraya
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We walked in to this restaurant as the other restaurant in the hotel is already full. We were seated indoor as there was strong wind at the outdoor and we didn't want to risk having sand and dust in our food. The menu is a mixed fusion of western, Asian and Egyptian dishes so we didn't think much of the taste and quality. However when they served, we were really pleasingly surprised with the quality of the dishes. Every dish we had was so good! We had 4 starters / mezzas and beer and the portions are really huge so it's like having 4 main courses. Firstly the bread basket is beautiful and great quality bread. We had lentil soup, and the stuffed eggplant dish. The homemade Alex sausage was sooooo good, it has a special sauce over it. The Indian samossa was also amazingly good! The only disappointment is that the wines they serve, the foreign wines are very expensive while the local wines I didn't have good experience with. So we had local beer which was delicious. Service is an area that needs improvement. There was one guy serving the whole area and he seemed unhappy, can also smell strong tobacco on him. Otherwise, this restaurant is highly recommended! Great experience! the atmosphere and the view are really amazing, make sure you visit by sunset time so get the most of the place, we just walked in and didn’t make any reservations Kero was absolutely kind and amazing.. So polite and friendly! He made sure we had a great time! We came for my friend's birthday celebration, he was kind enough to arrange for the cake! Huge thanks to Nagy for the amazing cake! The bar is very elegant! Amazing views of the Nile, pool and the hotel! Must visit when you're in Aswan! So much history here! Iconic experience!

The terrace has an amazing view overlooking the Nile river and Elephantine island. The perfect place to enjoy the sunset over high tea after a long day of sightseeing. Excellent service. I emailed the hotel a few days in advance and made a booking online for the high tea - they expected me at the gate snd did not have to buy a ticket. The food was excellent, would recommend the more expensive option, I think it was worth it. The service was impeccable - Mohamed Abdelazim was the best! Visited early January. Such a beautiful place and in my case the perfect ending for my stay in Aswan.

Came here ONLY for the view on the terrace (indoor terrace reserved for guests at hotel), and had a bowl of soup. Soup was deliecious with bread. Service was extra slow, even in Egyptian standard. But the view was just wonderful.
