Our Egyptian Roots – From Cairo to Carlton
Cairo Nights was born from a dream to bring the heart of Egypt to the vibrant streets of Melbourne. Founded by an Egyptian-Australian family with deep culinary traditions, the vision was to recreate the experience of Cairo’s famous night markets — where sizzling street food, soulful Arabic music, and warm hospitality come together.
From our first service, we set out to become more than just a restaurant. Cairo Nights is a halal Egyptian restaurant in Carlton that celebrates tradition, flavour, and performance. What began as a humble idea is now one of Melbourne’s most unique dining destinations — where every plate tells a story, and every night leaves a memory.

Excellent authentic Egyptian food and superb service. Egyptian cuisine is well known for its hospitality, and they excel at shisha (try the Fruit Fever). The singer was an amazing bonus.
