Mo'men

The Egyptian sandwich, industrialised: breaded chicken, burgers, and a children's menu.

Budget

An Egyptian chain founded in the 1980s, now the marker of family outings and evening deliveries. Not regional cooking — fast food as the country invented it for itself.

The extra bit

The "Momen Special" sandwich is the menu's landmark: everything else compares to it.

Know before you go

Present in almost every mall: often the answer when a child refuses everything else.
