Saudi Arabia’s Go-to Spots for Egyptian Cuisine

The generational favourite, Gad is a classic Egyptian household name dating back to the 1940s, now an iconic Middle Eastern food chain with an extensive menu featuring everything from ful in shami bread to feteer, hawawshi, and more.

Egypt’s grill master, Sobhy Kaber, has long packed the streets of Shubra, Cairo, with crowds drawn to his unrivalled oriental flavours and famed name. The Grill Giant’s Saudi branch is just as big on both flavour and portion.

Serving homely, casserole-cradled recipes from molokhya to moussaka, Om Ali—true to its name—also serves the classic Egyptian dessert to round out its hearty menu.

Named after the iconic Cairo bridge, Nile Palace serves Egyptian and Levantine favourites as monumental as its namesake: from potatoes with meat to fatteh, shish tawook kebabs, and more.

With a name from the Egyptian countryside and an interior inspired by traditional domes, Jeddah's Al Dawar Al Masrey feels like an Egyptian home.

Cairo Eats serves up Egyptian fast food in Riyadh’s Al Olaya neighbourhood, with an outdoor seating area perfect for tucking into your kofta or liver sandwiches.
