Scanned: 2026-11-04 (Provisional, with the assistant citation check still to come. The hatched part of the bar isn't measured yet.)
Nobu is hard for agents to use.
An AI assistant can open Nobu's website. What Nobu offers is on another site. It finds a way to book or order directly on the site.

## Direct links
- Book directly: https://www.noburestaurants.com/home/reserve-and-contact (on the business's own site)
- Address: EDNC Sodic - Eastown, New Cairo

## Nearby, also direct
Places near Nobu that take a booking or an order on their own website, with no marketplace in between.
- El Sohbageyah Ramadan Tent (770 m): https://directindex.org/r/ticketsmarche.com
- Dunes Bar & Restaurant (1.9 km): https://directindex.org/r/marriott.com

## What to fix first
- **No structured data for the business.** (+15 points) Add schema.org JSON-LD for the business (Restaurant, LocalBusiness or the closest type, with name, address, telephone and openingHoursSpecification, plus servesCuisine and acceptsReservations). Every assistant reads this block first, and the fix kit below has it filled in. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **Menu or price list is on another site.** (+5 points) The link goes to restaurantbusinessonline.com, so that site gets the credit and the visits. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/menu-pdf-ai
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.

```html
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "LocalBusiness",
  "name": "Nobu",
  "url": "http://www.noburestaurants.com",
  "address": "EDNC Sodic - Eastown, New Cairo",
  "geo": {
    "@type": "GeoCoordinates",
    "latitude": 30.017664,
    "longitude": 31.512466
  },
  "potentialAction": [
    {
      "@type": "ReserveAction",
      "target": {
        "@type": "EntryPoint",
        "urlTemplate": "https://www.noburestaurants.com/home/reserve-and-contact",
        "actionPlatform": [
          "http://schema.org/DesktopWebPlatform",
          "http://schema.org/MobileWebPlatform"
        ]
      },
      "result": {
        "@type": "Reservation",
        "name": "Reservation"
      }
    }
  ]
}
