Syrian cuisine is one of the most renowned and diverse cuisines in the region, and arguably even the world. In the aftermath of the Syrian unrest and subsequent crises, millions of Syrians have had to cross land borders, oceans and mountains and leave their homeland behind, however taking with them their best memories, hopes for a safer future, and the most exquisite recipes for the world to enjoy. And Cairo is no exception to this. From the city's fanciest districts to the narrowest alleys, authentic Syrian restaurants have invaded our metropolis with their most delicious creations, and the rest is history.
