El Shabrawy

Egyptian breakfast to go: foul, taameya, eggs, at any hour.

€ Budget

A chain of counters specialising in foul and taameya, where you order by weight and leave in three minutes. It is half of Cairo's breakfast, and most of the menu is vegan by construction.

The extra bit

Take the foul "bel zeit el har" — with chilli oil: the version the regulars order.

Know before you go

Everything is sold to take away in tubs: that is how families buy on Friday morning.

Directions

Many branches across Cairo and Giza
