Cairo · Downtown

Kazaz

Grills and daily dishes in a Downtown room that never empties.

€€ Mid-range

A popular central address, known for its grills and stews served quickly at lunchtime. Nothing there is designed for visitors, which makes it a good midday marker.

The extra bit

Ask for the dish of the day: it is what the kitchen is turning out, and the cheapest.

Know before you go

A noisy room and fast service: not a dinner to linger over.
