Grilled chicken pieces on flatbread, with parsley and grilled tomatoes.

Luxor · East bank, Luxor

Aisha

Egyptian home cooking, served on a street terrace near the souk.

€ Budget

Vegetable tagines, molokheya, grilled chicken and rice, cooked the same day and served at neighbourhood prices. The address where visitors eat what Luxor's residents eat, steps from the temple.

The extra bit

Take a vegetable tagine and a chicken to share: the local order, and it feeds three.

Know before you go

Many dishes are vegetarian, which is rare and handy in Upper Egypt.
