What it is
Lindy's is a long-running fixture on El Masbat Street, the central tourist stretch between the Lighthouse and the bridge. It opens at 07:00 and runs until 02:00, which puts it on almost every diver's mental map for both pre-dive breakfast and a late post-dive dinner. The menu sits on the western and international side rather than Egyptian, with full breakfasts, sandwiches, salads, burgers and pasta. The room is small, casual and a touch romantic in the evening, with both indoor seating and pavement tables that work for people-watching. Solo travellers and couples make up most of the early and late crowds; it also handles small groups well.
Menu
The menu reads as classic western traveller food: cooked breakfasts including a full English, eggs to order, omelettes, pancakes and yoghurt bowls in the morning. Lunch and dinner cover sandwiches, wraps, salads, burgers, pasta and a few daily specials. Vegan and vegetarian options are flagged on Google, alongside small plates and quick bites. Coffee, tea and dessert are listed as highlights and the kitchen serves late-night food until close. The full menu is shown in-house and on Lindy's social channels rather than a dedicated website; phone the restaurant on +20 102 528 5468 to confirm specials.

FAQ
Where is Lindy's Dahab Restaurant?
Lindy's is on El Masbat Street in central Dahab, on the main tourist seafront strip between the Lighthouse area and the bridge to Mashraba. From most Masbat hotels and dive centres it is a 2 to 5 minute walk. The corniche promenade runs directly past the front terrace.
What time does Lindy's open?
Lindy's opens at 07:00 every day and stays open until 02:00. That makes it one of the earliest-open kitchens in Dahab and one of the latest-closing on the Masbat strip. Breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and late-night food are all served according to Google.
What does Lindy's serve?
Lindy's serves western and international food: full English and continental breakfasts, eggs, pancakes, sandwiches, wraps, salads, burgers, pasta and daily specials. Coffee, tea and dessert are on the highlights list. It is the go-to address on Masbat when you want non-Egyptian comfort food, especially after an early dive.
Does Lindy's do a full English breakfast?
Yes, a full English breakfast is part of Lindy's reputation in Dahab. Expect eggs, sausage, beans, toast and the usual sides, with vegetarian versions available on request. Breakfast service starts when the kitchen opens at 07:00, so it works for divers heading to Blue Hole or Eel Garden first thing.
How much does Lindy's cost?
Lindy's sits in the moderate range, marked $$ on Google and on Ask Dahab. A breakfast with coffee runs roughly 200 to 350 EGP, a lunch sandwich and drink around 180 to 300 EGP, and a dinner main with a soft drink lands between 250 and 400 EGP per person. It is not the cheapest option on Masbat, but portions are generous.
Does Lindy's accept cards?
Yes, Lindy's accepts credit and debit cards according to Google. Mobile NFC payments are not listed, so bring a chip card if you do not use cash. Cash in Egyptian pounds is still useful for tipping the staff and for any cash-only side stops you make on Masbat.
Does Lindy's take reservations?
Yes, Lindy's accepts reservations. Call +20 102 528 5468 to book, which is sensible in high season between 19:00 and 22:00 when the corniche fills with post-dive diners. At breakfast and lunch a walk-in usually works, since the room turns over quickly.
Is Lindy's good for vegetarians?
Yes, Lindy's lists vegetarian and vegan options on Google. The breakfast menu has egg-based and pancake-based dishes, and lunch and dinner cover salads, vegetable sandwiches and pasta. Tell the server about any dairy or egg restrictions when ordering and the kitchen will usually adapt.
Is Lindy's open late?
Yes, Lindy's stays open until 02:00 every night, with late-night food listed on its Google profile. It is one of the small handful of Masbat restaurants where you can sit down for a hot meal after midnight, which is why post-dive groups and people coming back from a desert trip end up there.
Is Lindy's wheelchair accessible?
Lindy's lists wheelchair accessible seating on Google but specifically notes that wheelchair accessible parking is not available. The El Masbat Street pedestrian strip itself is mostly flat. If step-free access matters, ask for a pavement table when you book and approach from the corniche side.
Best dish at Lindy's?
Lindy's reputation is built on breakfast more than any single dinner dish. Regulars come back for the cooked breakfast set and the coffee, with sandwiches and burgers as a strong lunch fallback. With 405 reviews and a 4.6 rating on Google, the kitchen is consistent rather than experimental.
Is Lindy's good for solo travellers?
Yes, Lindy's works well for solo travellers. Google flags it as suitable for solo dining and the front terrace makes it easy to eat alone with a book or laptop. The early opening hour also suits solo divers picking up breakfast before a 08:00 boat or jeep transfer.
