 Felfela Take Away by pangtidor
Try shawarma chicken, a sandwich with marinated chicken grill filling. Shishtawouk is a good choice for a heavier meal. There is a big pancake with the honey on top. I forget what the name is.

 food by TomorrowsAngel
There seemed to be quite a lot of other tour groups also experiencing authentic cuisine also.
I ordered mango juice to drink.
We were served a set menu, the only variation being the main course which could either be shish kebab or shish kebab.
We started with mezze dishes of tahina, pickles, babaganoush, falafel, tomato and cheese salad, roasted eggplant strips etc served with arabic bread.
Then the main courses were bought out, I had the chicken which was not the best quality meat I've ever seen.
Dessert was baked rice pudding which was sweet and refreshing.
The roast eggplant, and falafel were the best I've tasted. And the rice pudding was pretty good as well.
The mango juice was thick and sweet - really nice and refreshing. I had about 3 glasses. Leave a Comment Theme: Middle EasternPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: 27 Cairo Alexandria RoadPhone: 3830234Directions: near the Giza Pyramids

Definitely aimed at the tourist. It has a rustic feel , and always very busy.
The food is Egyptian from meze , [ I love the toumiyya] -molochiya-kebabs- lentil soup- kushari
The history of the restaurant itself is fascinating.
And service is always good
I like it all! Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Talaat harb st.Directions: City Centre

 Felfela entrance by Homanded
We found it delicious, enjoyable, great ambiance and overall, a wonderful way to sample some local food with the aide of very helpful staff who tediously explained to us and aided with recomendations.
We would make this a must go in any future trips to Egypt.
Having gone during Rhamadan, the place was quiet and service was impeccable, I don't know if this contributed to our experience or not.
The food is all served at once, and I admit, can be overwhelming when you first see the numerous dishes arrive!
Have no fear, you'll get through them all and only after you've had a chance to take it all in, do ou realize it is pre-portioned according to number in your party! We each had "just enough" for a sampling of each item!
We particularly enjoyed the tahini, the lamb kabobs and the felafels were EXCELLENT! Hot, delicious and fresh with fresh herbs, they melted in our mouths.
The Fava beans were also eqaully wonderful as was the lentil paste with lemon.
We enjoyed non-alcoholic beer and sodas for drinks.
Meal was included as part of our "tour" but have it understood that it is quite affordable and reasonable to eat here.
We would happily recomend this place to our clients/friends when visiting Cairo. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalAddress: Talaat harb st.Directions: City Centre

OK, nothing special. I am a vegetarian so the dishes served in the Felfela next door are actually more appealing. Not to mention much less expensive. The menu is a problem as they do not have the arabic names for the dishes, so you have to ask what each one is in arabic to figure out the dish based on the description.
10% tax + 12% service are added on to the bill at the end. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Talaat harb st.Directions: City Centre

This chain of resturants called Felfela is well known, they offer all kind of food specially the local egyption food, but you can find italian,french,american and others... all food is fresh and resonable prices

Great authentic atmosphere in this restaurant (interesting birdcages & fishtanks around).
Very popular and busy. Get there early, or make a reservation.
Amusing and charismatic staff.
Many dishes to suit vegetarians.
Again, not the cheapest. If I recall we paid 400LE (approx. £30). For a mixed mezze for 2 (around 4 dishes), 2 beers and 2 glasses of wine.
The food was REALLY tasty in here though.... I even preferred it to Abou El Sid's.
Again a mix of Mezze dishes for me.
My favourite was the Shakshouka (a dish of baked vegetables, topped with a fried egg, then finished with spicy minced beef and parsley).

There are two Felafel operations. The first is a chain of fast-food outlets doing the Egyptian street-food staples ...falafel, fuul, eggs, ,fries &c. The setup is easy to follow: you pay first , get a ticket which you give to a counterhand, you get your food. It's edible enough (Egyptians eat the stuff) & the prices reasonable: (Egyptians eat the stuff ) & the computer ticket system means you know you're not getting ripped off. althoght the prices on the signboard are a bit out of date. (current inflation rate in Egypt is near 8%) It's pretty well spotless and you can get in one hit a combination of things that might involve two or three vendors.
You can sit and eat there (standing up with the TV seeming always playing Umm Kalthoum) or take your food away.
The restaurant, a few doors up, is a different kettle of fish. I personally disliked it a lot.
I thought the decor cheesy, the food (stuffed pigeon) indifferent and the service dreadful.
Takeaway: You can do better, but you can do a lot worse.
Restarant: The food is no reason to come here. If you don't like the ambience, AVOID Theme: Fast FoodPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than averageAddress: Talaat harb st.Directions: Right at the Midan Tahrir end, on the right looking up Talaat Harb. Look in aguidebook or something.

Do follow up with my next few tips for Dinner at Falafel Restaurant.
Like most VT members suggested to try the taamiya falafel! It should be a must try and must eat when you visiting Cairo. Its was truly delicious, full of spice fragrance and I even ate it as my main meal of my first night in the City...
Oh..i miss the falafel. its actually a fava bean deep fried (somehow they did it dry and not oily and crispy the moment you bite it and it really melt in your mouth..its difficult to describe until you eat it your self.]
Cost of the food itself very cheap. My 1st nite take away meal
Taamiya Falafel - LE6 for two pieces
Kofta Sausage on bread - LE8 just like a kebab, but with tasty lamb sausage.
GBP 1 equals to LE10. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveDirections: Its just next to Le Meridien Pyramids. SO convenient.
