A large mixed grill platter — skewers, chops and chicken — with bread, salad and sauces.

Alexandria · Cairo road, Alexandria

Balbaa Village

Alexandrian grills in a big family room, open late.

€€ Mid-range

Kebab, kofta, liver and grills served on platters, with the fast service of big popular houses. Alexandria's family outing table, unpretentious and free of bad surprises.

The extra bit

Alexandrian-style liver is in its home city here: take it rather than the kebab.

Know before you go

Large rooms often full in the evening: delivery is reliable across the city.
