At Salam Shopping Center, don’t miss trying Koshari, a beloved Egyptian staple made with rice, lentils, pasta, and tangy tomato sauce. Visit El-Sayed Koshari on the first floor—available for as low as 20 EGP—and enjoy a hearty, budget-friendly meal. Another must-try is Ful Medames, slow-cooked fava beans served with fresh tomatoes, onions, and herbal oil, commonly found at morning street stalls and packed with flavor and nutrition.
For international flavors, head to Tawfik Restaurant inside the mall, offering authentic Turkish and Lebanese cuisine. Their Shawarma and Makdous (stuffed pickled eggplant) are particularly popular among visitors. During summer, outdoor vendors sell refreshing fresh coconut water, perfect for cooling down after a long shopping session.
Tip: Choose stalls with high foot traffic for fresher, safer food. Most restaurants provide English menus and accept credit cards.
