The Hungry Turk: A Taste of Istanbul in New Cairo

Istanbul was Constantinople, so why did Constantinople get the works? That's honestly nobody's business but The Hungry Turk’s.

Layla Raik

Turkish cuisine is, we find, hugely underrepresented on Egyptian streets, often lost amidst the flurry of Arab/Levantine cuisines we’re offered on every corner. The years of nomadic culinary discovery braved by the Turks, while often lost on us, are now finally getting their long-deserved time in the spotlight with New Cairo’s Hungry Turk.

Eating away at our not-so-blissful ignorance (life is better with a kebab - JS), the Hungry Turk invites you to their dine-in at Leven Square Mall for breakfast, lunch, dinner & even in-between study dates; firmly believing that a fresh morning supplied with a fortifying Ispanakli Peynirli pide & a soul-jolting Turkish coffee is all you need for a day of honest work.

Besides, should you need a jumpstart, the restaurant offers a slightly horrifyingly extensive menu to tie you right back to your 3rd-uncle Othmani roots. Serving an extensive array of the kebabs, authentic Turkish sojuk, and explosively flavourful kusbasi sandwiches, The Hungry Turk is the place to be when that insatiable mid-finals hunger strikes. Plus, you can substitute your study break celebratory caffeine jolt with the much tastier sigara boregi, no dizzy recovery time required.
