What it is
Al Sultan's Kitchen is a traditional Egyptian grill house on Talat Harb Street, an off-strip block away from the main Dahab seafront where local kitchens still set the tone. The dining room leans casual and quiet, with table service and a steady afternoon-to-late-night rhythm rather than a tourist lunch rush. It draws a crowd of Egyptian families, residents and curious travellers who want grilled meat, kofta, liver sandwiches and breakfast staples like foul without paying seafront prices. Because Talat Harb sits inland, parking is straightforward and the room stays calmer than the lagoon strip. The kitchen is closed on Mondays, which is worth checking before you walk over.
Menu
The menu is built around Egyptian grills and meat. Expect mixed grills, kofta skewers, slow-cooked meats and street-food sandwiches such as liver, plus a foul section for breakfast and late lunch. According to its Google profile the kitchen also runs small plates, tea, coffee and catering, with dine-in, takeaway, drive-through and delivery on the service list. There is no published online menu in the listing, so the most reliable way to see today's plates is in person or via the venue's Facebook page. Tea is a notable highlight per its Google profile.
