Though KFC is a huge global fast food company, and the food quality should be the same every where, this is never happened with KFC, knowing I tried so many branches all over Egypt and abroad.
Tanta branch though is considered on of the good ones, quality is good almost every time.
The place is big enough with the normal KFC decorations like everywhere else.
Toilets are good and clean.
Staff is helpful but not professionals.
If you need a place to have a fast meal in Tanta, KFC is your place to go.

Food is original and tastes very well, deserves the fame the name carries. Food quality is excellent. But the same problem in all Tanta restaurants, the atmosphere. The place is only for food, you come here to enjoy the food and only the food.

Might be the best place in TANTA for fish lovers, which might be the reason for its chain restaurants in Cairo and Alex.
Prices are a little higher than other local restaurants in TANTA, but totally.. acceptable, سمكه المشويهFor 59جـ, after all it's fish in non costal areas. Meat n chicken are of a lower price.
Service
Superb, washrooms are pretty clean, polite n nice waiters.

7. Spectra Restaurant & Cafe

Reviewed By Dr_HanySakr - Tanta, Egypt
Good restaurant, It consists of dinning area, divided into small non-smoking area, and larger smoking area. The overall area of the restaurant though isn't large.
Staff and service are excellent. very polite and gentle. they enlighten your day with their smile.
No play area for kids. This is fatal, if you have any. "Ask me :)"
Play area helps you enjoy your time 'peacefully :D', while your kids plays and enjoy their time too.
Food is average, some dishes were good, other dishes were a little below average. Meat was a little raw. Their ice-cream cakes are crazily wonderful to be honest.
Overall it is very nice place, I hope you enjoy your time there.
