Egyptian cuisine

Egyptian cuisine is a vibrant and ancient culinary tradition, influenced by its fertile Nile Valley and historic trade routes. It relies heavily on legumes, vegetables, and rice, though meat and poultry are also common. Bread, particularly the local eish baladi, is a staple of nearly every meal.

Signature dishes

Koshari: Considered by many to be the national dish, this hearty, inexpensive street food layers rice, brown lentils, and macaroni, then tops it with a spicy tomato sauce, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions.
Ful Medames: A traditional breakfast or dinner, this stew of cooked fava beans is mashed and seasoned with olive oil, cumin, and lemon juice. It is often topped with chopped onions, parsley, and tomatoes and served with eish baladi for dipping.
Ta'ameya: The Egyptian version of falafel is made from mashed fava beans and fresh herbs like parsley and cilantro, rather than the chickpeas used in other regions. The patties are typically deep-fried and served in pita bread.
Mulukhiya: A thick, green, and viscous soup made from finely chopped jute leaves cooked in a garlic and coriander sauce. It is often served with rice and a meat broth made from chicken, beef, or rabbit.
Hawawshi: This savory meat pie features seasoned minced beef and chopped onions and peppers stuffed into pita bread or a loaf. It is then baked or grilled until the bread is crispy and golden.
Fatta: A celebratory dish made for special occasions. It consists of layers of crispy bread and rice soaked in a garlic and vinegar-infused meat broth, and topped with chunks of stewed beef or lamb.

Street food and grills

Shawarma: Marinated beef, lamb, or chicken is grilled on a vertical rotisserie, then shaved and served in a warm pita with tahini or garlic sauce, tomatoes, and onions.
Kabab and Kofta: Grilled meats are a street-side favorite. Kabab consists of skewered chunks of marinated lamb or beef, while kofta is spiced minced meat formed into patties or sausages and grilled.
Alexandrian Liver and Sausage: A specialty of Alexandria, this dish features tender slices of beef liver or spiced sausage that are stir-fried with bell peppers, garlic, cumin, and other spices. It is often served in a baguette-like roll called eish fino.

Desserts and sweets

Om Ali: Known as "Ali's Mother," this rich, hot bread pudding is made with layers of puff pastry soaked in milk and sweetened with sugar, coconut, raisins, and nuts.
Basbousa: A semolina cake drenched in sweet syrup and garnished with almonds. It has a moist, crumbly texture and is one of Egypt's most famous desserts.
Kunafa: Made from thin, noodle-like pastry threads, kunafa can be filled with sweet cream or nuts before being baked until golden and soaked in syrup.
Baklava: Layers of phyllo pastry are filled with nuts and drizzled with a sweet syrup. The Egyptian version is known for its flaky texture and delightful sweetness.
Feteer Meshaltet: A flaky, layered pastry that can be served either savory or sweet. For a dessert, it can be filled with honey, cheese, coconut, or pudding
