Do you need a reservation for the popular "Na Dne" restaurant in Hurghada, and are there less crowded alternatives?

During peak hours not just Silk Road but also the main restaurant and the beach area are packed. The nearby Italian restaurant is the only place that usually has seats.

"Na Dne" is a cult, very popular spot. Especially on Fridays, it's worth booking a table in advance, otherwise expect a big crowd.

The wait for a table is usually short: when all seats are full, new guests simply aren't let in, but the line moves quickly.

Nearby there's the "Silk Road" (Shelkovy Put) restaurant - it now operates as the main venue, much quieter without crowds. The menu selection is slightly smaller than at the popular spots.
