User Review:

• Lipstick's year-round menu is an ambitious collection of salads, sandwiches, pizza and desserts in addition to coffee and juice. During Ramadan, a sohour menu consists of several fixed price options as well as à-la-carte items. You can choose a fiteer sohour menu for 30LE, which includes savoury fiteer, molasses, white cheese and tomato, yogurt and juice, or you can try a mixed grill sohour menu for 65LE with chicken, meat, kofta and liver, in addition to om ali for dessert. À-la-carte items include several variations of foul and a few side items. The food at Lipstick is definitely not their strong point. Both the regular and sohour menus fail to impress. An order of kobeba and sambousak (16.99LE) missed the mark. The kobeba was split open, making it difficult to eat and revealing a wholly unappetising centre, while the cheese sambousak was lacking in fresh herb flavour. The meat sambousak tasted fine and was juicy on the inside, but the large bowl of mayonnaise sweating in the heat was a definite turn off. The fried mozzarella sticks (18.99LE) were a bit of an improvement, although the cheese wasn't gooey and the plate was served with a watery, white mystery sauce that didn't tempt us in the slightest. From the sohour menu, we sampled the foul (5.99LE) and white cheese with tomatoes (6.99LE), and were quite disappointed with both. The foul not only tasted off; but it had also been puréed beyond recognition, while the cheese and tomato dish suffered from a heavy garnish of sliced cucumbers that only served to flood the dish with liquid. While we recommend holding off on sohour here, the drinks and service at Lipstick are worth the visit. We have no complaints about the tall, creamy café latté (11.99LE), and the cold karkadeh (4.99LE) was strong, sweet and satisfying. Our cherry shisha (7.99LE) came with a welcome surprise: Lipstick adds a large dish of ice to each shisha, surrounding the pipe and chilling the smoke,
