Mahrous is one of the best spots in Downtown Cairo, Cairo. Egyptian street food is one of the world's great bargains — incredible flavor for almost nothing.
💡 Tips before you go
- Koshary is the national dish — cheap, filling, and everywhere
- Baksheesh (tipping) is expected in every service interaction
- Cash is essential — don't rely on cards
- Egyptian ta'ameya (falafel) is made with fava beans, not chickpeas — greener and better
