Caïro in Katwijk aan Zee

A delightful spot for those who love good, generous food. At Cairo, the sheer variety is immediately apparent. From shawarma, kebab, and chicken shashlik to various mixed platters and grilled dishes. There is also plenty of choice for those who prefer something else. The dishes are clearly and extensively described, and the portions are generous. What stands out most to me is the combination of flavor, quality, and the relaxed atmosphere. No unnecessary fuss, just good food, the kind you would expect from a good grill restaurant. The different types of meat and spices provide a nice variety, and the combination with salad, fries, and sauces makes the meal complete. Moreover, the prices are reasonable for what you get. The various mixed platters are particularly interesting if you want to try multiple flavors. A place where you can easily walk in for a quick meal, but where you can also enjoy a full meal. I would love to come back here.

These people are nice, it's always pleasant to have a chat, and the food is very tasty. I always come here with my friends and it's always a great time.

A big, serious snack fanatic and I went here an hour before closing on Thursday, September 10, 2026, and were (figuratively) spoiled; the food was delicious (see photo, foodies) and the service amazing as always. We were offered 2 tubs of garlic free of charge—you never say no to that! For me, it is certainly not the first time I am eating here, and certainly not the last.

The food is so delicious that I always order from him.

Had to wait almost 2 hours for my food, called multiple times to ask how long it would take, didn't answer once, didn't get any lettuce with my order even though it said so, and it seemed like my cola had been shaken, won't be coming here again.

Good food. Friendly staff. Large portions. Delicious.

Mixed Grill very tasty, good value for money!

We were served really well, a very sweet man, my girlfriend even got a free green ice tea for her birthday!!

We ate at the Cairo tonight, the food was delicious. Our friend was almost having her birthday and turning 18, and after she heard this, she even got a free green ice tea as a gift. Great place.

Truly a top-notch place! Everything is absolutely amazing. The service is really top-notch! My girlfriend even got a free iced tea for her birthday!! Really a winner, definitely worth a repeat visit!

We felt that things were a bit disorganized and that the staff didn't seem to know their own menu. Orders were taken at the counter, but the food was served at the table 🙈. However, the staff was very friendly, the food tasted good, and the price was perfectly reasonable.

Had a delicious Cairo dish. Super.

There was some miscommunication regarding the order, but this was resolved very quickly! Super service and the food was delicious!

Tasty pizza calzone, friendly delivery driver

We were at this restaurant last night . Service was very very slow , the coffee was so bad we couldn't drink it and the food was so so . I want people to be aware that if you don't speak dutch ( I don't but my wife does ) they will charge you more . Coffee was free with each meal and when I went to pay for the meal I got charged 5 euro for the coffee . Don't recommend this restaurant 😒

They write that the order will be delivered at a certain time, but in the end they delay it by an hour and a half.

A company is registered as Thunderbuns at that address, but the way everything is arranged is exactly the same as the Cairo one: unprofessional

Had a great meal, very tasty. Shawarma with fries. We will come back again!

Top restaurant! Great pizza and service, even though the team was extremely busy. It looks a bit unassuming from the outside, but it's highly recommended!

The shawarma was so dry that I had to pour sauce from two containers on it just to be able to swallow it. It's simply impressive that they can make pork shawarma so dry. Otherwise, it is a nice old-school shawarma place with a great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Ordered twice now, delivered right on time. Good portions. The food was very tasty. Tip: you get free food with a certain order via their own website, but there are also often nice promotions via Uber or Thuisbezorgd. So take a good look.

I've been a customer for 30 years now. I ordered it Saturday night. And the last time. I've never had such a mess in my entire life. I'm going to eat it myself.

The food is good, but I think they drive to Katwijk via Moscow. At 7:20 PM, they say the delivery person is on his way, but after 40 minutes, still nothing.

I ordered Spires lamb chops with Spires' sauce, and I told him exactly what I wanted, like this picture. He said, "Yes, we make it like this." I took the order and went home. I was shocked to find it was just meat, mostly beef, with no Spires sauce. It tasted awful. He charged me around €20, and I wasted my money. I called him and told him his method was wrong. He told me this is Spires; he ripped me off. I don't recommend them. I went to this restaurant and it was a terrible experience. The food wasn't what I ordered. I was sure I wanted sauce, but it was only plain, without sauce. I had a lot of money, I wanted to have more money that I felt wild. Toen ik hem vroeg hoe hij het had gemaakt, lachte hij mij uit. There is a lot of money in your home. I will return to this restaurant later, and I will tell you something later, saying: “We will make it alright.” This is not worth it. I want me to drink. Views of this photo include: Is it spareribs? What's the matter? This is why there are spare parts. ❌ I love this restaurant next to nothing. Helaas ben ik hier opgelicht. Is this a rib or a neck? He's making fun of us! Where's the Spires sauce? This neck meat isn't good, and without the sauce, it's a bad order, not what I wanted. I told him I wanted ribs with Spires sauce and showed him a picture of how I wanted them, but he just made it up. I was shocked when I got home to find that the order was different from what I ordered.

The delivery person tries to overtake you in a place where that is not possible, and if he just manages to get by without causing an accident, he then gets out at the traffic light to threaten you. Furthermore, the food here is disgusting and you will definitely be in the toilet all day after eating here.

I've ordered here many times and have never been dissatisfied. Delicious food. The meat is well-cooked and seasoned. Both the menu boxes and the kapsalon are excellent. Delivery staff are always fast and friendly. Best shawarma in Katwijk.

Cozy restaurant, very friendly service. I enjoy coming here.

Mediocre food, price-quality ratio is not right, quite an expensive place

Really enjoyed my meal here. The food was delicious, and our server was friendly and attentive The food was fantastic, but what really stood out was the wonderful service. Our server was so kind and helpful The mix grill was incredible! And our server was so helpful with recommendations. A great experience overall I was really impressed with the quality of the food and the attentiveness of the service. Our server went above and beyond to make sure we had a great meal

Delicious food and very friendly staff!!!

Best tent mirror rear toilet only a bit mediocre

I've looked online often and hesitated just as often. I don't know exactly "why" or "for what" I'm not convinced to take the next step. To avoid influencing the * score too much, I'll take the average.

Super delicious...very friendly people...

No, just don't go there. We ate pizza there yesterday and I've never eaten anything so bad.

Turkish pizza was like a black hole

Super nice, hard working people!!!! Toppers

Ordered last night, but unfortunately not delivered!

What a bad tent, no help after 20 minutes

The waitress was a bit overwhelmed with us (8 people) and brought some orders wrong, but otherwise it was ok. The food itself was super delicious!!!

Nice for the beach. Large portions with a capital G.

Very bad company, if you order something you can't even call because it takes a lot of time! Had to wait hours for my food

Very delicious food, friendly service, plenty of seating but not crowded. I recommend

Not recommended!! We ordered 4 shawarma rolls and only received the ingredients for them... pure disgrace! And as if that wasn't enough, the meat wasn't even cooked. 30€ for the bin. Never again!🤢

Delicious food at home with takeaway from Cairo! Delicious shawarma, shaslick, pizza and my daughter loves the chicken snitzel! Very warm welcome and great food! A household name in Katwijk for years!

Ordered margherita pizza I got a pizza with a lot of onions and peppers which was very disgusting. Would never recommend this!!!

Ben and Jerry's different taste and completely melted. Called to ask why the ice cream was circled on the receipt. First 1 then 2 times I get another person on the line with poor or no Dutch and after asking the same question 3 times the phone is hung up. So that's how they treat customers. I've had it happen before that drinking is simply replaced by something else.

Bad place, food is not tasty and service is completely bad. Ordered food, half an hour later they came again to ask what we wanted to eat, they had forgotten us. Sauces are placed on the table in a separate container but look gross. Spare ribs are dry and tough and I have sometimes tasted better at the hair salon. We won't be there anymore.

Ordered food here via Thuisbezorgd. After 1.5 hours the delivery person came and it quickly became apparent that a pizza had not been delivered. Quickly ran downstairs, but the delivery man had jumped over the railing, he was gone so quickly. A quick call and the pizza finally came our way. Received a bottle of wine as compensation, which was nice. Kapsalon was not very tasty and the Turkish pizza had a strange piece of meat and no vegetables and cheese. Still pricey for Turkish pizza at 9 euros.

They take sauce containers from the table and put them in a bucket so that they can be used again.

The service was very slow. I could understand if the Restaurant was full, but just 3 tables was occupied. We recieved our drinks after 20 min, our food after one hour. We had to pay with the card because they couldn’t gave me rest. The food came in big portions and the prices are very good for Netherlands. All the prices in the menu are wroted with ,95 in the end, for example: A Pizza - 11,95€. But they book it as 12€, which i consider it an old trick that is not necessary because we come to eat and leave tips not to buy a washing machine.

Raw shawarma tasted like human flesh. Quite a nice man. Lovely hair salon.

I think I ordered 4 fries around a quarter to 1, it's now a quarter to 2 and it's still not here? I just called and it was supposed to be there within 10 minutes, but I think it's still not there??? So this

The owner of the restaurant is very wonderful and his friends are truly an example of a great person and the service is 5 star. We had a nice time.

Referred to here by a Katwijker. Super tasty food, meat was tender and seasoned, but also a well-filled plate. I feel like the business goes back 20 years, but what nice employees and the owner too. Definitely recommended to come here once.

Delicious food, great place, nice owner!

Food is not always the same quality but they do their best. The orders come with salad and sauce separately, which I really like. I come here a few times a year.

TERRIBLE FOOD! Unfriendly delivery person

Had to wait almost an hour for our order; a supermix sandwich and a pasta carbonara. And that on a Tuesday evening! There was no sandwich with the supermix sandwich even though we ordered a supermix sandwich 🤷🏼‍♀️ I called about this, and they wanted to deliver the sandwich, but we were already eating, so we said never mind, they did apologize.

Very tasty food with free dips. The best thing was the service, very friendly. It's definitely worth taking a look🤝👍

Top place, nice hair salons, really great, I would prefer to eat one every day, but that is not wise for the line 😅

Sehr nettes Personal. Preise sind, einen Urlaubsort entsprechend, ziemlich hoch

Leuke restaurant met heerlijk gebakken eten van frieten tot lamskotelet, met warme pita broodjes kan je van alles combineren met uitjes, sla en tomaten. Alleen vind ik dat er te weinig verschillen in salade of bijv. warme maiskolfje worden aangeboden, wat erg jammer is, want dat vind ik nou erg lekker. Dus meer aanbiedingen zou het aantrekkelijker maken. Groetjes.

Bestelling geplaatst: broodje super shoarma werd geleverd zonder saus. Gelukkig zelf saus in huis, maar toch.... Griekse salade: enige Griekse aan deze "Griekse" salade was een beetje feta, 1 stukje tomaat en 3 olijven. Maïskorrels, wortel, ijsbergsla en kikkererwten in een Griekse salade...? Géén komkommer, géén rode ui (überhaupt geen ui)...... Dan begrijp je het niet helemaal als kok(kin), dan doe je maar wat. Was beter gewend in het verleden. Even geen Cairo meer denk..... Dit was gewoon héél erg slecht!

Heerlijk eten, je kan ook goed binnen zitten. De sfeer is goed. Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding zeer goed. Halverwege de avond kwam nog een groep luidruchtige mensen binnen die op een asociale wijze het personeel behandelden. Het personeel reageerde rustig, en bleef beleefd en kalm. Geweldig gedaan

Had een Kapsalon en patat met pindasaus besteld, anderhalf uur te vroeg bezorgd, zonder communicatie. De bezorger stond er gewoon ineens (wel een vriendelijke man). Kapsalon was niet lekker, kaas was niet goed gesmolten en smaakte nergens naar, uitgedroogde shoarma en geen sla terwijl deze wel op de bon stond. Slappe patat. Pindasaus wel prima. Ik denk niet dat ik hier nog eens ga bestellen..

Mooie winkel lekker eten maar duurde wel lang.

Wir hatten sehr leckere Pizza und haben dazu kostenlos zwei Dips bekommen die auch super waren. Wir hatten unsere Tochter im Kinderwagen dabei und waren vor Öffnung dort. Der Betreiber hat uns dennoch sehr nett empfangen und gut bewirtet.

Lekkere late night snack gehaald in de vorm van een kapsalon, fijne grote portie, knapperige friet en ruim voldoende vlees. Kortom geweldig lekker! Super vriendelijke mensen ook !

Geen tent kan tippen aan deze op t gebied van shoarma/kapsalon. De mixed kapsalon is een echte aanrader! Voor een tientje zit je goed vol. Vriendelijk personeel ook. Top tent!

Viel besser als es von Außen scheint! Sehr leckere Pizza, dazu kostenlos Ajoli und Zwiebel Dip und zum Abschluß noch einen Kaffee aufs Haus. Service war super nett und die Preise sind wirklich gut.

Really recommend عنجد بيتزا و كبسلون طيبين

Die Pizza Calzone war sehr lecker. Ich würde nicht das Wort "Restaurant" benutzen. Hier wird man recht günstig gut satt.

Ich war dort mit meiner Familie. Wir haben dort 3 Pizzen und ein Burger Gericht gegessen und hatten dazu jeweils ein Getränk. Haben incl Trinkgeld 50 € bezahlt. Hier stimmte für uns das Preis/Leistung Verhältnis. Der Service war gut. Haben mit den Mitarbeitern in Englisch kommunizieren können. Fazit: Gerne wieder dort hin 😀

We hebben daar een heerlijke pizza gegeten.

Hier kun je lekker eten voor een goede prijs, als je jarig bent (of geweest) en je komt hier eten om het te vieren, krijg je een vuurwerk Fontijn en draaien ze happy birthday voor je. Je voelt je gelijk jarig.

Ik krijg een broodje duner dit geef je nog geen hond echt jammer kapsalon was goed

eten was top, muziek staat wel vaak wat hard

Wij komen hier graag, het eten is altijd zeer lekker. Vriendelijk personeel en Sadat is echt een lieverd. Zeker een aanrader!!

Heel erg lekker, precies op tijd bezorgd

Voor de eerste keer besteld. Eten was echt lekker en de frietjes waren zeer knapperig. Zeker niet de laatste keer. Vandaag voor 4e keer een bestelling geplaatst en de kwaliteit ie nog steeds als de eerste. Prima en zeker 5 sterren waard.

Ik ben in veel grillrooms geweest maar deze spant echt de kroon. Het vlees is echt van ongekend hoge kwaliteit en laten we het dan nog niet over de zelfgemaakte pita broodjes hebben! Dit is de vaste stek na een avondje uit in Katwijk, ik zou mij geen andere grillroom kunnen wensen. Hulde aan Saddath en zijn companen!

DO NOT MISS this 5 STAR place ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

If you miss this place, you will regret it Its the best pizza shaorma 😋😋😋
