1. Abou Haidar Shawarma
$ | Heliopolis |This Heliopolis landmark, in business for over five decades, often has a line of people waiting to order Egyptian-style beef shawarma, made with a deliciously aromatic marinade and served in a pita or on soft white fino bread or fluffy bread rolls. Although there’s a small top-floor seating area, this is more of a grab-and-go restaurant.
13 Ibrahim Al Lakani St., El-Montaza, Cairo, Cairo, EgyptKnown For
- Juicy, well-seasoned beef shawarma rolls
- Mango juice made with a secret recipe
- Homemade potato chips with the perfect crunch
-
2. Mandarine Koueider
$ | Heliopolis |Known for the blue-mosaic niche wall on its facade, this small but beloved branch of Mandarine Koueider is divided into two sections: one side sells Middle Eastern desserts generously stuffed with nuts, and the other sells ice cream in flavors like pistachio, raspberry, or mandarin. The malban bil eshta (Turkish delight filled with cream custard that's flavored with mastic) is a must-try.
5 Baghdad St., El-Montaza, Cairo, Cairo, Egypt2-2418–6555Known For
- Fresh batches of ice cream prepared daily
- Often crowded (but don't let this deter you)
- Crisp kunafa (syrup-soaked pastry) with a creamy center
-
3. Zööba
$$ | Heliopolis |Known for its relaxed vibe, Zööba offers Egyptian street food featuring modern twists (and slightly higher prices), all of it made with locally sourced ingredients. Be sure to try the ful (fava-bean stew) and ta’amiya (falafel) with pickled lemons, though the koshary (macaroni casserole) is also divine.

4. Abo Sherif
$$ | Heliopolis |Flakey layers of fiteer pastry generously stuffed with your choice of sweet or savory fillings is what Abo Sherif is known for, and every order is made fresh on the spot—you can even watch the dough being flipped, stuffed, and placed in a brick oven. It’s customary to take your fiteer to the café across the street and enjoy it with black tea served with fresh mint leaves.

- Crispy, well-balanced sweet kunafa fiteer
- Mixed-cheese fiteer oozing with melted goodness
- Unparalleled dough-flipping skills

5. Al Dabke
