Im a regular at this Cairo dining cornerstone. Its certainly one of my favorite restaurants in the Capital and def the best Asian in Egypt bar none. At the moment they also have a great deal for 100LE where you get an appy, soup, main, and dessert! Full portions too. Highly recommend you head here as a local or visitor.... More

Some people rave about this place but I didn't see anything special. The food was average and what you would find at any typical Thai restaurant.

After severe demonstrations in front of the SEMIRAMIS INTERCONTINENTAL some weeks ago the Hotel and its outlets had been closed. Tourism is still very weak, but the Thai Birdcage is back to its absolute stunning quality and decoration of the food! I went with a friend to have a full 4-course menue for 99 Egyptian Pounds pp! The local wine... More

I've lived in Egypt for 7 years now and this place is my favourite restaurant in the country. The atmosphere, food and service are all spot-on and I'd recommend it for everything from a quick lunch through to a posh dinner for a special occasion. My favourite is the degustation menu where you are truly taken on a culinary journey... More

Eaten here several times recently taking advantage of their four course for 99LE offer. Food and presentation is superb. At these prices you cannot fault it!!

It was lovely to escape the chaos of Cairo to the cool hotel and the view from the terrace was great - not peaceful as over the main Corniche road but exciting. The service, drinks and shisha were well below standard though. In fact the service throughout the whole hotel was rude, unhelpful and as a cold as the air... More

Everything is sublime - the food, the service and the place. This is a top quality international restaurant. At the moment, you can take any four items, one from each section of the menu (starter, salad or soup, main course, desert) for just 125LE including taxes. That's about £12.50 or $17 to eat in one of Cairo's top restaurants. The... More

It is expensive but well worth the price. You better have reserved as it is not a large restaurant and always full. Being the best thai and indonesian restaurant in town by far, it is well worth planning for it by reserving in advance. I have been there with my wife and friends as well as with business guests who... More

Never seen Thai food costing that much! Nowhere! Ever! Quality is alright, although could not be compared to authentic Thai food, in my opinion, but the prices! 70 USD for 3 rather small sized meals?....

Birdcage was the most amazing food I've had in years. When I first saw it on tripadvisor, I didnt think much of it despite the amazing ratings but we were hooked. We went there a dozen times before we left Cairo. Its the best place at the Intercontinental hotel!
