Being a frequent visitor to the kebabgy in Cairo's Sofitel I was a bit disappointed to find it very different in Aswan, there was only one waiter in the whole restaurant, however he was doing his best, the charcoal grill was not working and all the meat was cooked on an electric grill which did not give the flavor of grilled kebab one would expect, the bread oven was also not working so no fresh baked bread, however the food was not terrible, it just could be much better, perhaps this was because it was relatively empty and not enough customers to keep it active but they surely have the means to do better
