About Wist El Balad restaurant
Healthy testy food .made with love
Wist El Balad restaurant is an Egyptian restaurant in Abdeen, Cairo. It is listed at شارع شريف باشا، الفوالة، عابدين، محافظة القاهرة 4280151, and this page gathers what people usually check before a visit: where it is, how to get there, when it opens and how customers rate it.
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. Egyptian home cooking means dishes such as molokhia, mahshi, fatta, hawawshi, stuffed pigeon and baked rice, and many restaurants cook different dishes on different days of the week, so ask about the dish of the day and portion sizes before ordering, especially for a group.
Opening hours are published for all seven days of the week. The most common schedule is 11:00–23:30. Timings usually change during Ramadan, at Eid and on other public holidays, and some shops open later on Friday around midday prayers, so call before a long trip. The listed phone number is 015 5115 7738. 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.
Customers rate it 4.3 out of 5 on Google across 2,377 reviews, a high score, though the most recent reviews are still the best guide to what visitors find today.

Hands down the best food I had in Cairo, Egypt. I loved this place so much that I kept coming back twice a day. 😂 The food is authentic, fresh, and tastes like a real home-cooked meal made with love. This is a family-owned restaurant, and I got the chance to meet the whole family. They are some of the most genuine, kind, and welcoming people I met during my entire time in Egypt. They always treated me with so much respect and made me feel like part of the family every time I walked in. And definitely try their fresh juices! The mango and strawberry were amazing, but honestly, try them all. They’re made with 100% natural fruit — no water added and no sugar added. Some of the best fresh juice I’ve had. To the whole family, this is your friend from New York wishing you nothing but success and the best in everything. Thank you for the amazing food, hospitality, and for treating me like family. ❤️🇪🇬🇺🇸 I’ll definitely be back -Zishan Ali

I tried the hawawshi and grilled liver here, and honestly it was a great local food experience. The hawawshi was crispy from the outside, juicy inside, and full of flavor. The grilled liver was also tasty, well seasoned, and served with rice and vegetables. The place has a simple, authentic Egyptian vibe, and the food feels fresh and homemade. Good value for money and definitely worth trying if you like traditional Egyptian food

Cairo was our final stop in Egypt, and this was absolutely our favorite restaurant! Every single dish reflected incredibly high standards, which is why we ended up eating here two days in a row. We are happy with the amazing flavors, great prices, and excellent service. Inshallah! 棒!

We like this place the Mixed Grill Platter and Burger was absolutely delicious and very fresh. The place is very pleasant and clean, with a welcoming atmosphere. The owner is a very kind and friendly man. He told us that many women work in his restaurant and that he truly believes in women — and it really shows. The waitresses are lovely, attentive, and provide excellent service. We would also like to mention that the male waiter was highly professional. Great service, tasty food, affordable prices. We highly recommend this place for an enjoyable and inexpensive dinner.
