TL;DR
Resort buffets offer decent salads, soups, and fresh vegetables. Beach à la carte spots can surprise with herb flatbreads and cauliflower in cream sauce.
Among the à la carte options, Bedouin is a stronger pick for meat lovers and was rated better than Chimichurri. For seafood and dessert, Elia near the beach got the best feedback.
If duck appears at the buffet, it is especially worth trying — it was singled out as one of the tastiest dishes.
Eggplant fans should try the local eggplant dishes: they were praised as well-cooked, especially with the spicy orange dip served alongside.
From the grill station, kofta and grilled chicken were considered good choices among the meat dishes.
The resort buffet had fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, a Caesar-style salad, and two soup options with bread rolls — one mildly spicy. Suitable for both adults and kids.
Cauliflower in cream sauce is a surprisingly tasty dish found at local Egyptian restaurants — worth ordering if you enjoy vegetable-based dishes.
A soft herb flatbread at a beach à la carte restaurant stood out as a highlight — not found elsewhere at the resort. Worth ordering if you spot it on the menu.
