2Granita
Granita is a hidden Azhar Park breakfast spot with castle-and-lake views and golf-cart access inside the park. Breakfast portions are enough for about three, and private rooms have wow design, though they’re pricey and everything is ordered separately.
3Sahara Kitchen
Sahara Kitchen is a family-run Somali kitchen in El Rehab praised for creamy linguine with grilled chicken, fresh biryani, haneed and Somali chai. It has 4.8★ from 85 Google reviews and Talabat delivery, though one creator calls it overhyped.

9Beiruti
Beiruti in New Cairo has one creator video and 1,562 all-time views in the data. No verdict, must-order dishes or menu details are available, so it’s a limited-coverage listing.
