🍽️ You’ll never run out of options at Carlo’s. This restaurant truly offers an international experience, featuring a menu that spans Egyptian and Lebanese staples, Italian classics, and even fresh sushi. Add in playful fusion dishes that mix cuisines — like their signature Egyptian-style risotto — and you have the ideal spot for group dining when everyone has different cravings.
Kick things off with the stuffed vine leaves served with yogurt. This classic dish is prepared expertly — perfectly cooked rice, creamy yogurt, and flavors that masterfully balance savory, sweet, and tangy notes. The chicken liver with pomegranate molasses is another standout: rich and savory with just the right hint of sweetness. For easy sharing, the mini chicken shawarma plates deliver bold, satisfying flavors with all our favorite traditional spices packed into perfectly portioned bites.
Carlo’s covers a lot of ground with its main dishes. The shish tawook arrives tender and perfectly charred, available in both Lebanese and Egyptian styles, so you can choose based on your preference. If you’re in the mood for pan-Asian cuisine, the beef teriyaki hits the right note, with tender meat glazed in a sweet and savory sauce that complements the beef without overpowering it.
For something more adventurous, try the Egyptian risotto with boneless chicken — it’s creamy and hearty, and a surprisingly successful twist on the Italian classic. You can even order it with boneless pigeon for a more traditional touch. While the flavors work beautifully together, the texture may not appeal to everyone. Still, it’s a dish worth trying if you’re curious about fusion cuisine.
Carlo’s also offers an impressive drink selection, with their tropical options especially notable. The piña colada is smooth, tropical, and refreshing without being too heavy. The passion fruit fizz and tropical passion fruit stand out as tasty companions to the rich food options.
HOW TO GET IT- You can order Carlo’s directly to your door through Talabat or by calling the number listed on their page. If you’d rather dine in, they have four branches across Cairo in 5A, Waterway White, District 5, and Arkan.
