The Biggest Food Portions in Egypt – A SceneEats (Survival) Guide

Because moderation is for the weak, and portion control is a myth.

It all starts with one innocent question: "Should we order something?" Fast forward an hour, and you’re staring at a table so full it looks like a medieval feast prepared for a king, a queen, and their entire extended family. Because in Egypt, the land of the pharaohs and the feasts, we don’t believe in small portions—we believe in monumental, record-breaking, take-a-picture-because-this-is-historic levels of food.

We’re talking burgers the size of your head, shawerma that doubles as a workout weight, and koshary portions that could single-handedly solve world hunger. If you’ve ever looked at a menu and thought, "I want something that will question my dignity," then you’re in the right place. Buckle up, grab your stretchiest pants, and prepare to dive into the biggest food portions in Egypt.

The Biggest Cookie from Fati’s

For those who believe cookies should be the size of steering wheels. If you’ve ever looked at a regular cookie and thought, "Pathetic," Fati’s has answered your prayers. This cookie is thick, gooey, and unapologetically massive—so big it could double as a frisbee. Finishing it solo? Good luck. You’ll probably need a team of sugar-fueled warriors by your side.

The Biggest Koshary from Abu Tarek

Koshary—the official dish of "I can’t move for the next five hours"—reaches new heights at Abu Tarek. Their mega-sized version is a towering blend of pasta, rice, lentils, and fried onions, piled so high it should come with an oxygen mask. It’s built to feed six to seven people, though if you’re feeling bold (or just emotionally unhinged), you can attempt it solo.

The Biggest Burger from Butcher’s Burger

This isn’t a burger. This is a commitment. A one-kilo patty stacked with layers of cheese, sauce, and whatever’s left of your diet plan crying in the corner. Finish it alone, and you earn instant legendary status. If not—at least you tried.

The Torbini Shawerma Sandwich from Malfoof

Shawerma is usually a grab-and-go snack, but El Torbeeny looked at a normal sandwich and said, "Nah, let’s build a skyscraper." The result? A half-meter, half-kilo sandwich packed with shawerma. It’s long enough to be used as a weapon and filled with enough meat to keep you satisfied for the foreseeable future.

The Biggest Fried Chicken Piece from Shihlin

Shihlin asked, "What if a single piece of fried chicken was the size of your face?" and the world hasn’t been the same since. Crispy, golden, and practically a meal for three, this oversized chicken fillet is a challenge worth accepting.

Super Jumbo Pizza from Pizza Queen

Pizza Queen doesn’t believe in small portions—and honestly, we respect that. Their Super Jumbo Pizza is so massive it could double as a family-sized dining table. It’s the ultimate party flex, though you might want to rethink any plans involving movement afterward.

The Biggest Feteera from El Malky

If you thought feteera was indulgent before, think again. El Malky has taken it to another level, crafting a feteera so enormous it might need its own zip code. Cheese? Chocolate? Both? Your call—just bring reinforcements.

The Biggest Seafood Rice Platter from Taleet Samak

Taleet Samak doesn’t do modest portions. Their seafood rice platter is an overflowing spread of shrimp, calamari, and the ocean’s finest, served atop a mountain of spiced rice. At this point, it’s unclear whether you ordered lunch or an entire fishing boat’s worth of seafood.
