Great Choice!

This is a busy spot but staff did a great job. Vegan options are clearly marked and we enjoyed everything we ordered.

Good foul

The foul with tahina was great, really creamy and tasty. The bread not amazing and the rest (tameeya salad, spicy tameeya and bessura) was a bit too salty for my taste. Fresh juices available :)
Overall, a nice place for breakfast, brunch or a light meal.

Yummy

Cute spot with delicious fresh Egyptian street food. Prices are fair and staff was super friendly. I love how easily the items are marked for vegan or vegetarian etc. They take credit cards

Pros: Clean, Tasty, Affordable + take credit cards

Cons: Noise of environment outside door

Great authentic Egyptian food

Zooba is one of my favourite places to eat in Cairo. There are lots of vegan options (clearly labelled) and staff understand what vegan means. The restaurants are also super aesthetic and always really clean

Pros: Lots of vegan options , Helpful staff

Cons: Serve meat

Great Taameya right on the busiest street of Zamalek

Great Taameya (as those Falafel-ish things are called here) in a bit of a hip setting, good choice for vegans, taste was always great.

Super fresh, authentic and delicious. Manyyyyy options to choose from and very affordable. Lots of dips, salads and sandwich variations — my favorite was the eggplant taameya. Fries are good too! Loved the hibiscus limemade. Limited seating but I always found a spot. Take away is just as good! Fast service!

Nice Koshary- check your change

Kosheri was nice, generous serving.
Not much seating.
Check your bill and change, wrap if if your handing over a larger bill.
Was charged for a water that was not ordered , this was removed after checking the bill.
They also tried to short changed me 50 Egyptian pounds , luckily I hadn’t left the counter and they gave me the right change after pretending not to understand!

Cons: Check your bill and change

Koshary whole grain

Whole grain Koshary is my favorite here... but there's a lot more to taste. yummy food, although on the street it is even better, zooba has it's own variations. Must try!

Pros: cheap, good, lots of choice

Cons: they have meat too
