Grill House El Mohamady is Now Open in Maadi

El Mohamady—the grill house that’s basically a national pastime—has just fired up a new branch in Maadi, and the smoke signals are impossible to miss. The city’s most beloved mashawy spot, known for its no-nonsense meat, brick-red grills, and Friday-lunch chaos, has found a new home south of the bridge.

It’s still the same El Mohamady choreography: skewers clattering, waiters weaving through tables with metal trays stacked like skyscrapers, the faint hiss of lamb fat meeting open flame. Only now, it’s happening on a wider stage—Maadi’s leafy streets trading the usual Downtown frenzy for something a little more polished but just as loud.
