We had a great meal there, perfect value for money, compared to the surrounding places, best prices. I recommend the souvlaki it tasted delicious. But the pizza is not a speciality compared to italian peers around, but it still tasted nice. Staff was friendly, very nice greek atmosphere but only in the afternoon, a bit too quiet in the daytime.

This is one of our regular eating places in Downtown El Gouna. It is the only place in El Gouna to eat tasty Turkish inspired food and has dishes that you cannot get anywhere else. They have recently added to their unique menu by installing a dual spit Doner kebab machine. The two skewers, one chicken and one mixed beef and lamb, are freshly made each day by the Turkish Chef and served either as a plated meal with salad and fries for consumption in the restaurant or as a wrap to take away and enjoy on the move. They are even staying open until 2.00am to satisfy any late night cravings you may have. We have tried both skewers (as plate meals and as wraps) and find it hard to choose between the chicken or the beef and lamb as they are both really tasty. The next time you are in El Gouna, pay the Turkish House a visit and try their tasty Doner kebabs but make sure you bring a hearty appetite.

After a two-year break from El Gouna we were interested to see what if any changes had happened in the Marina area. The Maritim Restaurant at the entrance to the pedestrian area of the marina was still there and we stopped for a beer. The prices had risen considerably over the previous two years especially when compared to the prices in Down Town. It is however still a great place to sit and watch the comings and goings in the marina.

We have been trying out almost all the restaurants in El Gouna during our last 3 trips here, and Zia Amelia is the one we keep returning to the most.From its pleasant atmosphere and lovely staff, to its delicious food - it's a definite must when in El Gouna.I like to try a different dish each time, and every one I've had so far was really good.This time it was seafood pasta with really generous amounts of seafood (quite rarely seen in most places), and last night it was tender, delicious lasagna. I also tried some of my friend's calzone and it was great.They might be a tad more expensive in certain categories than other places downtown, but they're definitely worth it.I also like the option of ordering half a dish at 70% price, as a full-size pasta meal is a bit too much for me.I only regret never having enough space left for dessert, which is something I'll try to correct during the next couple of days.

I went here with my husband for a meal on his birthday. The restaurant is in a really nice location near a lagoon. We were warmly greeted and promptly shown to a table and given our menus. Our drinks arrived quickly and were nice and cold. We ordered the cold Meze for starters which was recommended by the waitress. My husband had the burger and I had the chicken shish tawook. Both our meals were absolutely delicious. In fact my husband said it was the best burger he has had for a long time. Both meals came with a very generous portion of homemade chips which made a nice change from the French fries you normally get at restaurants. The prices are very reasonable especially for El Gouna. All the staff at this restaurant are lovely and very friendly and we will definitely be returning.

Enjoyed our dinner which consisted of bbq style chicken and a mixed meat platter. Service was very friendly, delivered by Younis, our waiter for the evening :) Also received complimentary desserts which were very tasty (would not have ordered them on our own since we were quite full already, but since the desserts were so yummy we finished them nevertheless). Props to chef Elmasry!

Had meals here here on 3 occasions, the food was delicious & the service excellent. The best place on the marina at the moment.I have attached receipts to give an idea of cost in case you're concidering the All Inclusive options in the hotels. I believe it's better value to eat out.
2. Pasta e Basta

Reviewed By mfranceschi2121
As its name applies, Pasta e Basta doesn't have a very broad menu, which has always been a good sign in my experience. There's basically a variety of pastas, pizzas and a couple of meat dishes.I had tried several of their pasta dishes and they were very good. This time we opted for pizzas; diavola, which was tasty but could have been a bit more spicy, and quattro formaggi, which was fantastic.There was also live music, a wonderful loop artist, which perfectly rounded a lovely evening.

Hydra Sea Food Restaurant is located on the first floor, its balcony terrace overlooking Tamr Henna square every time of the day. Hydra is a fair seafood choice for lunch and dinner if you havenât set your standards to Guilt-Millau. In fact, Hydra are like so many other coastal and holiday resort seafood restaurants. Copy & paste menu but actually, you almost canât go wrong with the laid-back ambience.The staff are ok and do not hesitate to evaluate the menu with you to pick the right dish. Hydraâs prices are fair and so are there portions.
