Thank you Liz 🥰 Tip for a small dish, like what I ordered at this restaurant? I think it would really depend on the cost of the dish and the restaurant. And the nationality that is eating it. Europeans don't usually tip, or they don't tip very much, do they? 😅 I always overtip because I'm American 😂 And I like to make people smile. 20-30 pounds is fine. I think I tipped like 50, which is a lot considering I barely got anything. Honestly, I'm the worst when it comes to tipping. My bf is always telling me I tip too much, but I can't help it, I used to be a server for quite a few years in the past 😆
What a wonderful video!! That's where I went to school! It's one of the prettiest cities around Cairo by far. The population in Ma3adi have definitely been influenced by the Expat community. Ma3adi in my opinion shows what a love of community can do to a city. Even your maitre'd's favorite places coincide. Lol. Anyway, that table at Lucille's is the exact table my friends and I sat at, just a long time ago! He was in love, she was happy and I thought the food was delicious. You are right, seems like everything is a little bit more expensive over there. They just raised the price of gas a little more. So everything goes up! Awesome video thank you!!
You are the best. I have a feeling great things will happen to you in Egypt. You are really an awesome gift for Egypt and Egyptian tourism. I love your bravery, the professional videos you produce and your narration always outstanding. Best wishes to you.
It's so hard to find a proper Italian restaurant in Florida but when I do find one, it's insanely expensive. I'm not spending a hundred dollars for some pasta lmao. Watching your video makes me wish I can keep my job here in the morning then somehow teleport to Maadi for a proper meal at night :)
Lol. Yeah if you're comparing U.S. prices, absolutely it is cheap. I also wish I could teleport! I would instantly teleport to Thailand for some delicious cheap Thai food.
I also need an instantaneous transfer of Ramen 🍜 from Thailand. Someone invent this device pronto. It’s like what Jeff gold bloom made in the fly but without the fly issue.
Thank you Hussein! Yes it is expensive, I agree. Like I said, seems like a nice place to bring a date for a fancy night out. Even though I only ordered a little, it was not cheap. But it was good. The other side of life in Cairo that exists! In Maadi 😅
Cool Rooftop Place, nice view of some of those lesser known pyramids. Saqqara, is that in the Giza governate district? West side of Nile? Have a good week!
If you go to Alexandria go to shaban seafood restaurant and ask for barboni fish. you have to eat that is one of the best taste fish you'll ever have. I go there all the time for decades. ❤❤
I've been to the restaurant, but I never got that fish, I got something else This video was also filmed 3 years ago when I first arrived to Egypt and knew NOTHING about Egypt or spoke any Arabic 😅 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pAsUvkVO5Ok.html
Hi Gigi Iam so glade that you ll come to Alex may i recommend some historical places to visit like Montaza park kaytbay cetadle alex zoo jewelary palace Roman Musiuam and roman theatre Places to eate like gleem bay but it could be littel expensive if you want to eat some fish you can go to abo keir or bahari i hope u have fun en my city a i hope to see u there
NO. WAY. I have been there and it was horrific! I've never had worse Korean BBQ in my life!!! Seriously, it was one of the worst meals I've ever had in my life, I am not exaggerating. I can't believe you are recommending them. I used to live in Australia, which has tons of Korean food and Koreans living there, as it's proximity to Asia is very close. I had 9 Korean roommates, we got Korean BBQ all the time, I am very familiar with it. Hana BBQ is terrible. I'm sorry.
@Gventures really, oh wow, I didn't realise it could taste so different to people with different experiences. Then again, you have far more experience with Korean food than me, so u know better ☺️ What I had was the bulgogi meat, which I thought tasted interesting and different it had a sweet taste The kimchi was AMAZING u can't change my mind on that The tteokbokki was also good, but the best was the fried shrimp for sure
Nice video as always. As an Italian I would say that this looked more than a salad of olives and tomatoes rather than a bruschetta. Quite expensive tho. Maybe the place was not upscale like this, but the 1$ koshery looked a better deal for me.
Looks delicious! Have you ever had stomach issues eating salads or drinking the juices? I read so much about NOT eating salads or drinking beverages with ice?
Yeah I heard that a thousand times too from certain people around the world. They tended to be Americans, actually 😅 "Don't eat any fruits or vegetables that could have been washed in tap water" "Brush your teeth with bottled water" "Don't drink the ice" "Don't eat street food." I've never listened to that advice and always eaten street food, fruits and veg, brushed my teeth with tap water around the world. But I do refrain from drinking unfiltered tap water. I've never had any issues here in Egypt, but I did in Asia. I spent 3 months backpacking Southeast Asia and then 5 months backpacking south Asia and got sick on and off. Ever since India though, I haven't really had any issues. I guess what they say is true, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger 😆
@@Gventures of course.. Americans and their delicate stomachs 🤣 or pretentious ways! I love your videos! I’ve got my friends and family watching! You take the “scare” out of Egypt!
@@dianefranco938 Hell yeah, that's badass, I take the "scare out of Egypt" 🤣The "scare" was silly to begin with. It's a new environment, that's all. It's noisy, the streets are chaotic with traffic, and there are some people trying to overcharge you for things around tourist sites. That's really it. Cry me a river 🤣
I'm in Egypt, of course I am referring to the cost of a meal in Egypt. Why would I compare prices of a meal in the U.S.? I live in Egypt, my perspective is not as a tourist visiting but as someone who lives here, and as someone who isn't making what I could in the U.S.
@Gventures ya... I've been there...nd the part of Maadi that's close to the nile has this cafe, "Grand Cafe"....Maadi Al Khabiri Ash Sharqeyah, Maadi, Giza Governorate 4210006, Egypt. anyways...I get confused if Maadi and or Maadi El Gadida are the same or two different places.
I dunno, I can't remember. Did I not show the receipt? If I didn't, I know I showed the menu. You can see the prices of what I bought and then see if the total is exactly that, if not, they add service charges.
Hello Gigi. I do enjoy your videos. My next trip to Egypt will be next January. My wife and I would be more than happy if one night you would accept our invitation to join us for super. We would introduce you to one of the best restaurant in Cairo in term of quality of the food, the ambiance and the service. The restaurant is GRANITA located in Zamalek. We hope to get to meet you while we are in Egypt.
@@FilthySnob Lol thanks FilthySnob! It seems you are warming up, that's good to see. I certainly won't stop, whether my videos are well received or not. I do it because I enjoy it 😁
@@Gventures but Gisselle you pay for the ambience and the service. Like any other expensive restaurant around the world 🌎 You had a personable English speaking waiter who accommodated and tend to your questions and showed you some of the landmarks that you could see on the roof.
You can’t compare it to a shawermah place in downtown Cairo It is very much like Simond’s in Zamalek. You had Amani smart English spoken sales lady that could sell to the client and leave great impression
@@husseinabd6937 I am comparing the prices and nothing else, but if we're going to talk about the ambiance and the view, I personally don't think it was out of this world. And to be honest, I always care more about the food when I go out to eat more than anything else. The staff at Al Agha were very personable by the way, and the Syrian waiter spoke English very well. Also, that was in Giza. You don't need to point out to me that the waiter spoke English in Maadi and the pyramids could be seen, I was there and recorded it and then showed people on RU-vid what it's like. The waiter was very nice and the view was good. But the commenter above mentioned the prices and I am agreeing, which I am entirely allowed to have my opinion on the matter. Sorry if I sound harsh, but I'm getting the feeling you're scolding me and you're also just pointing out the obvious. So I'm going to share my opinion on that.
@@samakashif5677 How can subtitles be hard to understand if you don't even see any? That makes 0 sense. And if you can read Arabic, then you will see in the beginning of the video it says to turn them on in RU-vid settings
@Gventures I can read Arabic 😂 I tried turning them on but there were no Arabic subtitles available may be they weren't uploaded yet?🤔 I was just trying to interpret the Arabic comment that's all😅
I'm sorry, but I mark on RU-vid that my videos are not for children. I am not censoring myself, I make these videos and can't make everything "family safe." I am not family safe 😅 This is the way I talk. I apologize if you don't like that, but maybe don't let your kids watch me.
Greetings Giselle, nice video as usual, It's nice to see new videos every time I open RU-vid. You inspire me I'm wondering how can you manage to upload regularly videos and do the subtitles and montage? How can you manage to do it in ease Thanks keep it up
Thanks doodz! 😅 But I don't do it easily. I spend ALL my time making videos. ALL my free time. I work teaching English and then I am always recording and editing videos. I only watch Netflix when I eat, otherwise I am constantly working. But I like making videos, so I am passionate about it. Most of the time it is fun, though editing some videos can be challenging sometimes
