This Zamalek Café Was Featured in Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo

Did you know you can grab brunch at the very café where the award-winning Egyptian film Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo, starring Essam Omar and Rakeen Saad, was shot? That’s right—tucked away from the usual Zamalek bustle, Auntie Loulou’s isn’t just a cozy hideaway, it’s also where Asmaa worked, and where Hassan and Mr. Rambo ate, listened to music, and even danced their hearts out.

Beyond its cinematic claim to fame, Auntie Loulou’s serves up seriously good waffles, pancakes, omelets, and a top-tier selection of filled croissants and hot drinks. With its warm, homey interior, a brunch or coffee date here is the ultimate winter comfort. If you’re after a spot that’s humble yet charming, with a laser focus on quality ingredients, this café belongs on your must-visit list. And who knows? You just might run into Rambo himself.
