In the world of Cuisine, Egyptian food stands out as one of the Most Exciting and Delicious. Local Ingredients Have been Used to Create Unique and Delicious Dishes In This Ancient Civilization For Thousands of years.

The Food of Egypt is flavorful. There are Many Dishes made with spices and herbs, such as cumin, cinnamon, and cardamom. These spices impart a delicious depth of flavor that is like no other. Additionally, Egyptians use lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, figs, and dates, to create unique and vibrant dishes. Traditional Egyptian dishes include ful medames (fava bean dip), kushari (a noodle, rice, and lentil dish), and mahshi (stuffed vegetables). Of course, there are also plenty of delicious desserts, such as baklava and kunafa, made with delicious layers of phyllo dough and nuts.

It is more common to find simpler dishes at coffee shops, diners, and street stalls than at more formal restaurants catering to middle-class Egyptians and tourists, with proper menus and a broader range of dishes and, usually, taxes and service charges adding around seventeen percent to the bill.
Fuul (pronounced “fool”; fava beans) The fava bean is a very cheap, nutritious food that can be prepared in several ways. It is pronounced “fool” and is a kind of legume. Fuul madammes are boiled, mashed, and spiced vegetables often served with chopped boiled eggs for breakfast. A similar mixture stuffed into ‘aish baladi constitutes the fuul sandwiches sold on the street.
Taamiya (falafel) is deep-fried patties of spiced green beans, usually served in pitta bread with salad, pickles and tahina (a sauce made from sesame paste), for which you can expect to pay the grand sum of £E1 or so. Another cheap café perennial is makarona macaroni baked into a cake with minced.

(Kushari), a mixture of noodles, rice, macaroni, lentils and onions, in a spicy tomato sauce (another sauce, made of garlic, is optional). It’s served in small, medium and large portions (25E3-5) in tiled stand-up diners, also called kushari.

sandwiches are small rolls with a minute portion of basturma (pastrami) or cheese. Other favourite fillings include grilled liver (kibda) with spicy green peppers and onions; tiny shrimps; and mokh (crumbed sheep’s brains).

(Shawarma) slices or marinated lamb, stuffed into pitta bread or rolled and garnished with salad and tahina somewhat superior to similar-looking doner kebabs sold abroad. A shawarm sandwich from a street stall can cost as little as £E2, while a plate of shawarma in a cheap diner will set you back around £E5.

(Torshi) Is an appetizer, a mixture of pickled radishes, turnips, gherkins, and carrots; luridly colored, it is something of an acquired taste, as are pickled lemons, another favorite.
