Your best culinary memory in Egypt

Good morning, Mickael

First is very seldom to find good food in Egypt unless you go to a very impressive restaurant and also there is a lack of quality.

Sorry to say that Egypt is not into quality at all its about quantity

Also, if you want to cock good you need good vegetables herbs meat, and we don't have this to.

If you talk real Egyptian food, we don't have much maybe 5 or 10 dishes at the most.

Yes, I cook on regular basis.

Also, the food is overpriced in Egypt for the quality what you get. you pay like in Europe and get bad quality

Regards

Hello Macc,

Thank you for sharing your culinary experiences with us!

Are you a local?

I've always heard that Egyptian cuisine is really flavourful

If you talk real Egyptian food, we don't have much maybe 5 or 10 dishes at the most.

Do tell us a bit more about the local cuisine. What's the best Egyptian dish that no one should miss?

Cheers,

As an Egyptian, I would suggest that you try the Egyptian Kushary from Al Tahrir restaurant (specially from El Maadi Branch).

As well, you can try the mix grill from Abu Shaqra restaurant or from Al Dahan (both are located in El Maadi too).

If you like, you can try Clams&Claws they have very delicious lobsters, shrimp and much more (located in 5th settlement and Zayed districts)
