Service was good and very fast and the food quality was good. Dinner consisted of a first course of shrimp and salad (along with a regular small salad). The grapes/cheese/crackers were brought with this first course as well long with warm white/brown bread options. There was no menu, simply the main course was trolleyed around and you selected a choice of seafood, chicken or beef. I went with the seafood with rice and more vegetables and it was good. For dessert there were two phases, first a healthy one with a la carte fresh fruit on the trolley (generous portion). A few moments later they came around with the sinful stuff with tea/coffee.

Breakfast was continental style and healthy. Fruit, jar of honey, jar of jam, warm croissants/white bread/whole wheat rolls/whole wheat buns. The usual juices and coffee/tea which they refilled a couple of times along with the bread.

Overall a good experience with friendly/smiling flight attendants. ^
On my return flight that departed at 03:00, I obviously skipped "dinner" and went right to bed (personally I would preferred they served a snack then and a hearty breakfast). Breakfast was continental style however and to my surprise did not have the fresh fruit that was so plentiful on my trip to Cairo. When I asked about why they offered "canned type fruit" in business class , I was told that the fresh fruit was only offered for dinner on this routing. They then brought me some fresh grapes and an apple to make amends.
