Is the Sigala restaurant in Egypt worth visiting — food quality and entertainment?

To avoid most buffet queues, some guests recommend arriving for dinner around 9 pm and for breakfast close to closing time. Some dishes may be nearly finished by then, but there is still food to choose from; lunch can be replaced with snacks from the bar.

There is also positive feedback on the food: even a very picky guest said they found many genuinely tasty dishes in the dining room, alongside some unfamiliar or hard-to-identify options.

More recent reviews (July 2026) contradict earlier feedback: guests report huge crowds causing long buffet queues, leaving them too tired to wait and skipping dishes they wanted to try.

Some guests say there isn't much genuinely tasty food, ending up eating the same safe dishes the whole trip — rice with beef, vegetables and fruit (fries for kids) — and feel the cooking at this hotel just isn't very good.

Recent feedback says Sigala generally does not have problems with food running out: trays are reportedly refilled even about 30 minutes before the end of service, and guests say there are usually no very long buffet lines.

The food at Sigala is on par with a typical hotel restaurant — nothing special. Fish dishes are reportedly poorly prepared. For impressive presentation and variety, Rixos or Sunrise resorts are better options.

Entertainment at Sigala includes local folk dances like the tanoura (spinning skirt dance) — guests can try it themselves, though the skirt is very heavy. The evening disco with international hits was lively and popular. Good option if you find evenings dull, as the alternative is just shopping in town.

Online reviews of Sigala may give a more positive impression of the food than the reality. Manage expectations before visiting.
