From Beirut to Cairo: Shawerma Hotspot El Estez Will Open in Egypt

This is Scene Eats correspondent, Fatafeet El-Share', reporting live from Al Marghani Street, Heliopolis. During one of my many strolls, (I am a fitness queen, afterall) I came across a peculiar street-food spot that seems to have just finished construction. Now, before you jump to conclusions, let me assure you that it's not another gentrified kebda place.

Brace yourselves as I unveil the newest gem in Egypt's culinary crown – Lebanon's famous El Estez, a regional sensation that has already made its mark in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. I'm talking about shawermas with flavours so hot they made me blush.

El Estez has chosen Cairo, the city of a thousand minarets and a million flavours, to be its next conquest. But hold on to your pita wraps, this is no ordinary shawerma joint. With an arsenal of authentic Middle Eastern delights, El Estez serves succulent meats, marinated to perfection in a secret blend rumored to be locked away in a three-layered safe, encased in thin, freshly baked bread. They've got their signature 'Shalfata Shaker' – a taste explosion that could make a camel breakdance – and classic chicken and meat wraps that are as timeless as the Pyramids themselves.

From the beloved fattoush salad to an array of shawerma-topped dishes, this Lebanese sensation is pulling out all the stops. As your dedicated food explorer, I bring you this scoop – all in the name of culinary excellence - a week before El Estez opens. So, prepare your palates for a journey to Beirut without leaving Cairo's streets.

And if I may offer a tip: come hungry and leave your impatience at home – because this place is going to be warmer than the Sahara at high noon. But trust me, it'll be worth every minute of the wait.

Reporting with taste buds primed,
