Authentic Egyptian grilled meats, kofta, kebab, and tehina
"Tucked away in the alleys of Cairo’s Ghouriya district lies Abo Hashem, a restaurant with a rich history dating back over 100 years. While it may not boast of grandeur or extravagance, it offers a down-home Egyptian dining experience focused on a variety of succulent grilled meats such as kofta and kebab, complemented with tehina (also sometimes spelled “tahini”), fresh bread, and salad. Pack in with the crowd of locals and start your meal with muyyet salata, a savory shot of salad dressing (also referred to as “whiskey”) to whet your appetite. Abo Hashem’s friendly kitchen staff expertly chop, shape, and grill meats by the restaurant’s narrow entrance, giving guests a chance to marvel at the mastery of their craft." - Laila Hassaballa
