About
Konafa, basbousa and rice pudding made daily; the cream-filled konafa sells out by evening.
It is about a 8-minute walk from the Mena House roundabout, on Saqqara Road. Run by the same family since 1985, the team is used to welcoming visitors from all over the world and is happy to help in English and Arabic.
