Cairo · Downtown
Felfela
Foul, taameya and salads in a grotto-like room, steps from Tahrir square.
€ Budget
A Downtown institution since the 1960s, with its improbable decor of rocks, lanterns and birdcages. The cooking is simple and honest — the best door into Egyptian mezze for anyone still hesitating in front of street stalls.
The extra bit
Take the foul and taameya assortment to share: that is what it is for, and it costs what a coffee costs elsewhere.
Know before you go
Most of the mezze menu is entirely vegan. The restaurant is often full at lunchtime.
