Updated October 2026
1Hamam Abdu
A Cairo pigeon institution where creators praise legendary stuffed pigeon, killer molokhia and tahini, with mixed trays getting 10/10. It’s a big, busy Egyptian feast spot for pigeon and molokhia.
2Sheikh El Balad
A Sherouk kofta favorite locals almost didn’t want shared; kofta is the standout in a clean space with friendly staff.
3Farahat Restaurant
Stuffed pigeon wins hearts here, with addictive molokhia and a unique trotter tagine. Grilled pigeon divides, with a bitter grilled leg and dry grilled rice noted.
4El Mohamady
Nile-side Maadi Egyptian restaurant with legendary pigeon and mix grill, plus service praised as 10/10. It can get very crowded, and breakfast service can be slow.
5Bahia
Creators are won over by big trays, creamy rice and pigeon, with Nile views for iftar gatherings. The صينية الجماهير is EGP 1,499, and the menu is rich and heavy rather than light eating.
6Abu Khaled
Creators rave about the grills and pigeon with molokhia, plus generous salads and bread. Filming needs management permission, and the kofta is joked as cholesterol-heavy.
7Hagouga Restaurant
Stuffed pigeon gets obsession-level praise at this Cairo suhoor legend, where ful with sausage and eggs with minced meat are musts. Suhoor is very heavy and dense, and can leave you needing a nap.
8El Haty
Stuffed pigeon and grilled meats carry the hype.
9Al Dahan
Creators rave over stuffed pigeon and lamb ribs; solid grill pick.
10Abo Hamama
A Heliopolis sweets institution selling ghee-heavy nostalgia — especially the Dynamite.
