China House

Location: El Geish road, El Raml station, on top of Steingenburger hotel- Another branch is in san stefano (next to Fathalla market)
Cuisine: Asian
If you are looking for a nice romantic restaurant with a beautiful view and delicious Asian food then china house is the place to be.
We ordered Chicken Sweet and Sour, which had onions and peppers ,pineapple pieces and pineapple juice. We also tried Chicken spicy Kun Pao with peanuts. They both tasted very delicious. The service is fast and the waiters are decent. The view is also breathtaking but the prices are above average as a chicken plate ranges from 60 to 80 although the portion is a bit small. Their spring rolls are also very light, crunchy and delicious




Lamada

Location: Miami- below Gamal Abdel Nasser Bridge
Cuisine: Mexican (supposedly)
This restaurant offers sandwiches only, They are supposed to offer Mexican food but all i saw was tortilla bread that tasted more like the Syrian bread.
I tried grilled sausages and fried chicken. They tasted good but the size is small for a sandwich and you would need more than at least two if you want to feel full.
The prices are relatively cheap, the sausage was for 7 pounds and the fried chicken is for 8.5 pounds.
This place is convenient for a quick grab and go lunch at the end of the month when you are running out of money.

Buxies

Location: 26 Ismaileya stret Kafr Abdo - opposite to Al Sarai Market
Cuisine: international
The restaurant looks like a diner with its dim and cozy atmosphere
I ordered alfredo pasta which was covered with a rich creamy white sauce, with garlic, thyme and herbs. It was delicious.
I also ordered lemon mint which had fresh mint leaves inside and was very refreshing
The pasta prices range from 30 to 40 pounds and their drinks from 20 to 30 pounds.
Bruxies is also one of the best coffee places in Alexandria, there coffee frappucino is one of the best I have ever tried

Doppio Zero- International restaurant

Location: Carrefour City Center
Cuisine: International
The food in this restaurant is flavorful and the portions are huge. Food is always served hot and the ingredients are fresh.
We ordered a salad plate with beetroot, nuts,rocket leaves and vinaigrette dressing.
All the ingredients were fresh and it tasted very delicious.
For the main course, we ordered ravioli stuffed with minced beef and covered with red sauce. It was good but a bit under cooked.
The second dish was "San Paolo Chicken" which is roasted chicken breasts in blue cheese sauce and topped with fried haloumi cheese. It was flawless, the portion was big and their mashed potatoes were buttery and the sauteed vegetables were perfectly cooked.
As for the prices, some plates are average and others are a bit above average but their food is worth it.

3B Burger

Location: 23 El Geish road (korneish) Campshezar
3B is a restaurant that offer beef burger and chicken sandwiches and plates.
The place is a little bit small, but luckily you don't have to wait for long before a table is free
We ordered:- 3B burger plate, which is a 1/3 pound burger patty covered with ranch dressing,bacon,onions and a drizzle of hot sauce with sides: white pasta and french fries.
- Chicken rosemary, grilled chicken topped with roasemary and barbecue sauce
-Tubleweed: beef burger covered with fried onion strips and cheese.
The burger is juicy and the meat is of a very good quality (no soy beans)
There different sizes for the burger either 1/3,1/2 or 1 pound. But i think 1/2 is more than enough because you already get a refill salad dish from their fresh salad bar. (it includes potatoes with mayo,shredded onions,cucumber,tomatoes and coleslaw)

Makani Sushi and Deli



.
Location: Batalsa street (Nest to Radio Shack in Fouad Street)
Makani is a restaurant that has an international and Asian cuisine
IT offers sushi, sashimi and other Chinese food.
Every Sunday they make a “mirror offer” on sushi
The ambiance is quiet noisy for a family restaurant, also they don’t pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene as there was too many flies.
The service is a little bit slow but the quality, size and taste of the sushi is very good.
I ordered:
 Flaming roll which was flavorful and the tuna is fresh and of good quality (highly recommended)
Tiger roll which was a bit spicy and had a sweet taste because of the mango on top (highly recommended)
Giant roll which tasted very good
Geisha maki and it was mainly crab
Sunshine which had too much cream cheese that hid the flavors of all other ingredients.
As for the prices, it is a little bit expensive. We ordered 16 pieces and extra teriyaki sauce for 140 pounds, which means that we would have paid 280 without the mirror offer
