Very nice local spot with tasty food and generous portions. The service was great and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. A good place to experience authentic Egyptian breakfast and local dishes for a very reasonable price.

If you want the experience of a local, you have to try this. They have a great local selection of breakfast food. They also have alternative options. I just asked for his recommendations, they were worth it. Foul, falafel and cheese options and mint tea.. 👌 recommended!

great place to get traditional egyptian food. very friendly staff (salam, abu ahmed :D ) and great price. we had a whole table of foods and, including tip, paid ~300 EGP (~5€). prices from early 2026. when you are in Cairo, give this place a try :)
