Hosny

Neighbourhood kofta and kebab, served on a production line for decades.

€€ Mid-range

An Alexandrian grill house where you order by weight and the bread arrives before you have finished sitting down. Nothing sophisticated: meat, fire, and service that wastes no minute.

The extra bit

Take the mixed grill by weight for two, and let the waiter choose the mezze.

Know before you go

A popular address: cash advised, and check the bill line by line.
