Egyptian cuisine is flavorful, incorporating elements of North African and Middle Eastern cuisine, and usually includes a large amount of meat, lentils, and herbs. In contrast to other Middle Eastern cuisines, Egyptian food features a large number of dishes with intense spices.
Famous Egyptian cuisine includes the hearty Koshari, which combines rice, lentils, macaroni, tomato sauce, chickpeas, and fried onions among many other ingredients. Additional mainstays are Ful Medames, mashed fava beans, and Molokhia, a soup made with minced Jews mallow/Jute leaves, among many others!
The crew at ILoveQatar.net (ILQ) has compiled a list of Egyptian restaurants for you to check out, arranged by price!
