Mivida Gets Its Own Sohour Truck by the Name of Zabady W Zabado

For 26-year-old founder Ahmed Ehab, food is a driving force of his inspiration (that, we can definitely relate to). “I studied mechanical engineering at AUC and currently work in the industry too, but food has always been what I would’ve done if I hadn’t gone down my current career path. It’s what really drives my inspiration,” said Ehab.

Zabady w Zabado is a testament to exactly that. Ehab essentially saw the opportunity and seized it- there aren’t any sohour spots serving staple cornerstone dishes at Mivida, and so he made the decision to breathe life into the foul-and-falafel-deprived Mivida ecosystem for Ramadan. 

At this point, we already know what you’re thinking- what does the name ‘Zabady w Zabado’ have to do with Ramadan? The answer is nothing, sorta. “Well, zabady is a necessary sohour classic, but I just really love Zabado. Ever since I was five, I’ve been in love with Zabado and it kinda just stuck with me for all these years; I had to incorporate that, somehow.” A man of principle? We’re sold. 

Zabady w Zabado launched just this past week on the 3rd night of Ramadan after test runs at the soft opening. However, the spot has already cultivated a list of best selling dishes that we’re already obsessing over:  gebna ma2leya, mozzarella taameya, foul iskandarani, and a gorgeous mix of Lotus and Nutella mini pancakes. 

The food spot currently delivers in Mivida, as well as within a 5 km zone from the compound. If you’re not one of the chosen Mivida dwellers, you can reserve a spot at Zabady w Zabado through their Instagram.
