Eating out in Egypt runs late: dinner often starts after 20:00, and many restaurants and cafés stay open until midnight and beyond, especially on Thursday nights and in summer. Delivery is everywhere, either by calling the restaurant or through apps such as Talabat and elmenus, sometimes with different prices and offers on each. Many restaurants add a 12 % service charge and 14 % VAT to the bill, so ask for the final price; tipping is customary but optional. During Ramadan the timings shift, with the main rush at iftar and service running on towards suhoor. Koshary, foul and taameya are Egypt's best-known street food: koshary mixes rice, lentils, pasta and chickpeas with tomato sauce, garlic vinegar and crispy onions, and Egyptian taameya is made from fava beans rather than chickpeas. Foul and taameya shops usually open early for breakfast, and prices suit every budget.

The business lists hours for all seven days of the week. On most of those days it is open 24 hours. Expect different timings in Ramadan and on public holidays, and a short closure at Friday prayer time in smaller shops. The listed phone number is 010 1003 7079. From abroad dial +20 and then the number without its leading zero (five-digit hotlines work only from within Egypt); calling ahead is the norm for bookings and to confirm timings.

With 4.2 out of 5 on Google from 190 reviews, opinions look fair to good; the detailed comments usually say more than the score about service, prices and waiting times.
