Antique Khana is one of those places in Zamalek that give me peace, tranquility and warm feelings. I'm always passionate about trying new spots there, because it's full of spots with different ideas, uses, styles and atmosphere. Whenever I go out to visit a new spot there, I usually fall in love with every single small detail and make a habit of starting to hang out there, from time to time at least.
One of those beautiful spots is restaurant and coffee shop Antique Khana. When you read that name the mental image that comes to your mind is the embodiment for the meaning. It's exactly like an antique gem, with old Egyptian decoration and furniture. Tranquillity and nostalgic atmosphere will fill your soul from the first moment in this beautiful, antique spot.
It has multi-cuisine menu with main courses like beef platters & poultry platters, side courses, pizzas, pastas, deserts, cold and hot drinks and several other kinds of dishes.
Enjoy your breakfast, lunch or dinner moments in its warm and nostalgic ambiance.
