Khufu's
خوفو
A modern Egyptian restaurant right next to the Giza Pyramids, topping the Middle East & North Africa's 50 Best Restaurants list in 2026.
Located within the Giza Plateau scenic area, offering close-up views of the Great Pyramid. Chef Mostafa Seif won Top Chef Arabia in 2017, and in 2026, it became the first Egyptian restaurant to top the Middle East & North Africa's 50 Best Restaurants list. Signature dishes include exquisitely plated quail egg koshary, Pharaonic duck, and pigeon koshary salad. Lunch is served as a set menu. Reservations must be made in advance, and entry is only permitted through the Fayoum Gate, followed by a ride on the scenic area's electric shuttle. Visitors who have not purchased a scenic area ticket will need to pay an additional entrance fee. Some diners have noted that portions are on the smaller side and service can be slow during busy hours.
