Interesting, exotic menu, however below average delivery. The idea of the restaurant is very interesting. Radio Cairo serves exotic cuisines from all over the world. The problems is that if you have ever tasted these dishes in their original form or prepared by a good chef, the meals in Radio Cairo seem to be below average. They are not as tasty, not as balanced and sometimes even far from what they should taste or look like due to sloppiness or lack of experience of the chefs. I wondered why Radio Cairo had such a good rating, but after having dinner there I figured out that it is likely because most of the dishes sound exotic and are new to many Australians. If you are reasonably familiar...
Radio Cairo sounded to me like it could be one of thos new fusion restaurants that Sydney is a bit fond of these days (I was just at the Turkish-Mexican mash-up at Pazaar Food Collective recently). And there is a definite charm (and contemporary feeling) to the owner of the restaurant, Srian Perera, introducing himself on the menu as of ‘Sri Lankan (Wijeyekoon), English (Martin), Irish (Kennedy), Scottish (Anderson), German Jewish (De Worms), and Portuguese (Perera) descent’.
Different still delicious! Came across this place while we were wandering for food in Cremorne. The ambience was great and the service was good too. We got settled within five minutes. We asked for recommendations and found ourselves stuffed with food till the end. Loved their chicken curry and the quesadillas. <br/ Service 4/5<br/ Taste 4/5<br/ Ambience 4/5<br/ Value for Money 4/5<br/
Radio Cairo is one of those places where you will always be very satisfied, the food is great, can highly recommend the Moroccan lamb, the beef, the vegetarian curry and of course the afro fries. The staff are very friendly, even though it is always busy, and the bar is very comprehensive. We usually order takeaway from here but enjoy the ambience of the restaurant every now and then.

My family (splintered though we are) and several of my friends are regulars here and all who have been love it. It can be a wee bit noisy and it's not a cheap and cheerful place but the food is damn good. Service is fantastic even on busy nights. Highlights (for me) are the Jamaican pork ribs. Best I have ever had. Anywhere. And that's a big call coming from a South African.
One word: sensational! Been coming to this place for many many years, staff are always friendly and very accomodating, atmosphere is great and food is DELICIOUS as well as being fantastic value for money. Winner on all accounts. Recommend the banquet for a group of friends. Always our favourite restaurant for my husband and I.
Love this restaurant. Great owners and staff, amazing food, first class service, entertaining and lively, happy and efficient. Have to go for dinner every time I’m in Sydney. Wishing you a super happy 25th birthday, you’re awesome
An old favourite we hadn’t visited in a few years and it’s still outstanding. Lovely atmosphere, good service and excellent food. Can’t recommend enough and it won’t be so long between visits next time.
