Why Marriott Mena House, Cairo Needs to Be on Your Culinary Adventure Radar ASAP

You don't need to be Mofatesh Korombo to deduce that 2020 has been a difficult year. We won't delve into why we think that as to not sound like a never-ending broken record. We will, however, say that we, along with most of y'all, have been trying to think of new and inventive ways to forget about 2020 with food...obvs. From BBQs in Sokhna to restaurant-crawling Fayoum's Tunis Village; the list goes on. But, what if we told you that you don't actually need to leave Cairo to go off on a culinary adventure? Yes, you can Bilbo Baggins right here in the capital -- which is where Marriott Mena House, Cairo comes in.

Its location is historical AF 

This reason may not tackle food, but we'd like to believe that the area where you feast plays a very big role in your culinary experience. Speaking of areas, the one where Marriott Mena House, Cairo to be specific, is at, happens to be very historical. We mean, like, the Giza Pyramids is literally just next to it. That's not what we meant by historical though. What we meant is that the actual hotel is historical as many politicians and celebrities have frequented Marriott Mena House, Cairo across the decades -- from Richard Nixon to Agatha Christie, Roger Moore, Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin and so much more. 

It has the most Instagrammable view in Cairo 

Not only is it next to the Giza Pyramids, but you can actually see them in all their glory whilst you devour your breakfast, lunch or dinner. Quite frankly, what more would one want?  

Their 139 Pavilion is **chef's kiss**

The hotel's all-day dining spot will have you taking in the breathtaking views of the Pyramids with an extra side of nomnomnom food. When we say nomnomnom food, we mean that their menu is quite intensive, in terms of having dishes from all across the world. Normally, big menus tend to give us anxiety but 139 absolutely makes it work for them. From Egyptian mashawy to prime cuts of steak, seafood, vegetarian options and so much more.

Moghul Room will take you to India and back

You need not travel to India anymore when you can just waltz into Marriott Mena House, Cairo's Moghul Room. The restaurant is the perfect blend of art and cuisine, with Moghul portraits taking over the venue and vintage ornaments scattered across the entire space -- resulting in an experience that demands to be, well, experienced. Another reason why Moghul Room stands out from other Indian eateries in the country is that its menu is focused on homemade recipes and only that. Make sure to try their naan and biryani, and bring a vegetarian friend along. Thank us later.
