Sliced, golden shawarma meat piled on a stainless steel plate.

Cairo · Cairo and Alexandria

Bazooka

Syrian-style shawarma served in outsized portions.

€ Budget

Spits turning in the window, saj bread, whipped garlic and chips inside the sandwich: the Egyptian take on Levantine shawarma, and it has its faithful. Portions are sized for two, whatever the menu says.

The extra bit

Ask for the garlic sauce on the side: inside the sandwich it drowns everything else.

Know before you go

Open very late, with delivery: the address for the way home after a night out.
