My restaurant choices are generally more day-to-day than the Cairo tower. Among those I know who have been they didn't rate it beyond its novelty value. But it's certainly one of a kind, so if it's open and if you are prepared to make a reservation (it's tiny), then go for it!
Zamalek is restaurant territory and I rate Abu el Sid (it's part of a small uppish-market chain), and a Syrian place i think is named Abu al Zouz. It's a risky and thankless task giving recommendations for eating places so I'll stick at those two
