Eat Kabab in Cairo

With its wide variety of specialty restaurants, food kiosks and street stands, Cairo is the capital of Egypt’s culinary culture. Read below and get to know the best restaurants in Cairo that offer the most authentic Egyptian cuisine.

 Desoke is a small restaurant in Zamalek. It is essentially run from a kitchen that is embedded in a wall and complemented by a few simple tables and chairs on the pavement across from it. Desoke serves traditional Egyptian cuisine at its best, following recipes passed on in the family for generations. Molokheya, a special Egyptian stew or soup with rice, roasted chicken, beans in sauce and other Middle Eastern dishes make for an excellent dining experience at Desoke.

Abou El Sid is a hip and young Egyptian place that gives an upscale impression with its impressive arched doorway and classic interior decorated with a lot of attention to detail. The food complements the interior and the menu is nothing short of spectacular. Traditional Egyptian dishes are reinterpreted and given a personal touch.

The wide and varied menu also includes a number of grilled meat specialties, like rabbit, duck or pigeon – a typical Egyptian national delicacy.

Farhat is an Egyptian grill restaurant that can be found in a rather inconspicuous location, hidden away in an alleyway of the Al Azhar district of Cairo. Farhat is very popular with locals who socialize and enjoy the reportedly best stuffed pigeon in town. Farhat’s star dish, the pigeon, comes with a delicious cracked wheat stuffing and side salad for a very reasonable price. Apart from its signature dish, the restaurant also offers a mixed grill on its menu. However, for an authentic dining experience the stuffed pigeon is the must-have.
