Farahat
Stuffed pigeons grilled in the street, over braziers, for decades.
€ Budget
A pavement address specialising in pigeon, a festive dish in Egypt: stuffed with rice or freekeh, charcoal-grilled, served with soup and bread. The room is basic and the street is part of the meal.
The extra bit
Pigeon is eaten with your fingers and taken apart: ask for the soup that goes with it, from the same broth.
Know before you go
Cash. One pigeon rarely satisfies a big appetite: count on two, or fill in with mezze.
