Cairo · Zamalek, Maadi, New Cairo

Mince

The food-hall generation's burger, sourced and cooked to order.

€€ Mid-range

A small Cairo chain that put minced beef back at the centre: brioche buns, doneness to order, a short menu. It stands for a wave of Egyptian dining born in the 2010s that raised the city's average burger.

The extra bit

Ask for your doneness: that is exactly what separates this generation from the earlier chains.

Know before you go

Delivery runs through the platforms: a requested doneness survives the journey poorly.
