Are there shrimp dishes at Pyramisa resort restaurants in Egypt?

From messages by 3 participants in 1 source · Last activity: 14 days ago

TL;DR

Standalone shrimp dishes are rare at the main buffet, but you can find shrimp in the paella at the Pulina restaurant. À la carte restaurants are generally well-regarded with decent portions.

What the community said

Malai restaurant serves well-prepared shrimp; one guest found them markedly better than the overcooked shrimp in the main restaurant.

A romantic dinner menu (per a guest review) featured several shrimp dishes: shrimp salad, shrimp cream soup, creamy pasta with shrimp (tastier than in the main restaurant), and fish steak with shrimp.

The main buffet also occasionally serves portioned shrimp and crab — one guest noted seeing them at dinner after not spotting any for the previous 10 days.

A more recent report says shrimp were available at the Oasis restaurant roughly every other day, while none were seen at Xanadu. This updates earlier claims that shrimp only appeared in the paella.

Shrimp can be found in the paella at the Pulina restaurant — it's the only spot in the resort where they appear. No standalone shrimp dishes were spotted over 5 days, though breaded squid rings were available at the buffet.

The à la carte restaurants at the resort are well-regarded with good food and decent portions. It's strongly recommended to buy alcohol at Duty Free on arrival — the resort's own alcohol selection is poor quality.

À la carte restaurants — recommended

If you book an à la carte restaurant through the resort's online app, it's worth checking at reception whether you need a confirmation slip or can go directly to the restaurant to avoid any confusion.
