Cafe Le Caire
Next to offering great food comes a great environment in which to serve it all up. That is why the café concept is one of one the most important facets of the Cafe Le Caire operation. We like to create a home from home atmosphere that is comfortable and enjoyable for all.
The chicken fattah at $15++ is topped with their special yoghurt sauce. A uniquely Middle Eastern cuisine of Chicken and chickpeas served in layers of Arabic bread.
This is one of my favourite food place along arab street.. has good quality food and affordable price..
1. Shish Kebab- the ang mo kia took this and it was really a good quality grilled lamb kebab with a very smokey taste. Meat was well done and tender.. a pity i dun like red meat but other than the strong lamb taste i really like the way they grilled it.
2. Falafel plate- there are 2 things i often eat at this place, falafel plate or chicken wrap and im often faced with the difficult choice of the 2 because eating both is too much for me.. The falafel plate cost $9 for 6 falafel and a dollop of hummus in the middle.. the falafel quality has improved.. not as hard as a ball as before.. yummmm...
3. The arabic bread was soft and was good with the hummus dips.. they have a variety of dips so the arabic bread would have been great accompaniment with them.. Would like to try the mezza platter next time..
4. Arabic salad- looks like they have increased the size (great!) and its a very fresh salad with tomatoes, cucumber, black and green olives with pine nuts in a citrus dressings.. superb starter!
The place does not serve alcohol and has shisha too.. would be suitable for vegetarians as they have quite a good variety of vegetarian dishes..
service can be slow because they have a few areas and the place is often crowded.. esp u need to wait quite long for the bill!
During my previous long school holidays, my classmate, her best friend and I met up at Arab Street for a chilling session.
While at this cafe, we ordered desserts as it was around tea time and we had already had lunch before that.
I had a difficult time deciding on a dessert as they have a great variety of it!
I ended up settling for the Double Chocolate Sundae cause I just can\'t get enough of chocolate goodness
The sundae came with 2 huge scoops of chocolate ice cream, which was drizzled with chocolate sauce and almonds, topped with whipped cream and a cherry on top and a chocolate wafer stick at the side.
The sight of it was enough to make my mouth water!!!
The taste did not disappoint for sure!
It was rich in chocolate but not too overpowering either and the combination of everything was just heavenly!
Definitely a dessert to try when you need a perk-me-up!
Be warned though. You can get VERY hyper from this dessert
*not for the faint hearted* ;)
Absolutely love this stall over the other stalls in this canteen. My favorites are the kebab rice, and the crispy chicken rice.
They have the machine (or what you call that) to heat the kebab, and you can feel the heat from it at the counter. It is cut on the spot, and brought to the kitchen. It is drizzled with mayonnaise sauce, and you can choose to have it served with rice or fries. I usually order rice. The yellow rice is nice and fragrant.
The crispy chicken is basically fried chicken. The skin is crispy while the meat remains tender. It is not too oily, and is served piping hot. It can be served with rice or fries.
The queue during lunch hours is long, and the problem is that it moves quite slow. Reason probably being that the food is prepared when you order. After lunch hours, some of the items may be sold out. Spending: Approximately SGD 3
Cafe Le Caire's a cosy little place to hang out with friends and family. The food is good, the waiters are nice and the ambience is just right to help you leave your cares behind. Plus, they're always screening soccer matches. I just wish they would refurbish their outlet.
