This Sohour Spot in New Cairo Serves Fool & Ta'meya With Truffle

It was inevitable. It truly was, however much we tried to pretend otherwise. You can’t outpace fate, and you certainly can’t stop Egyptian F&B from escalating a trend past the point of reason. Cakes? Understandable. Kunafa? Predictable. Fool with truffle? A line many assumed would remain uncrossed — until now.

New Cairo’s Ool W Ta3menni has committed to it: fool finished with truffle, and ta’meya with truffle to match. At this stage, the question isn’t why — it’s who signed off on this and how quickly can we try it? Visionary or shocking depends entirely on your tolerance for fungus at sohour.

SceneEats’ verdict? Ool W Ta3menni understands escalation. In a food landscape that has treated novelty like a competitive sport, they’ve managed to introduce something that actually pauses the scroll. The truffle fool isn’t a standalone stunt either. The sohour menu moves through variations on fool, falafel, eggs, and cheese, each dialled slightly off-centre from the expected.
