I am still not cool enough to visit Egypt. However an Egyptian friend took us to Hadoota Masreya in SZR. From the moment we sat down, our friend and the staff kept yelling at each other and hugging other. The food was top. They gave us all kinds of grills and the shisha was insane. Due a revisit it seems.

Cheers Courtney. I was astonished by the popularity of the liver and brain sandwiches. I did not see that coming! I’m also intrigued by these bun shawarmas.

I think I’ve been there too. Near PDL coffee shop and barbers. Shahinaz took me.
Wow, what a feast- Would love to go to every one of these recommendations!!
Beautifully put together as usual, goose! 😆
Would love for you to try most of them & let us know how you found them. ☺️
And please take that food tour!
Goose! What a throw back! An OG reference! I would love to go to them. Maybe the Koshary place that also has a branch in Dubai.
Thank you Liam for putting a spotlight on the colorful world of food in Cairo!

Love the diversity of voices and selections. Also wondering why Caizo hasn't opened here in Dubai (?!).
