The Ultimate Ramadan Delivery Guide

Quarantine Kareem to all of you.

Staff Writer

 - It's day 4379847293 of quarantine and although putting on our fiercest look and hopping by a Ramadan tent still isn't an option, our cravings haven't subsided. With Miss Rona running amok, our once treasured family gatherings, sohour outings, and everything in between have taken a hit. Both restaurants and foodies alike are now re-adapting to this dreary reality via delivery. And because we'll be damned if we let Miss Rona win, we've compiled the ultimate list of the best delivery options in the city. From hotels to cafés to catering, we can guarantee your quaran-eating experience is in for some action.

Hotels

Hotels across the capital have given us the chance to not only have a five-star iftar at home this holy month, but also the chance to treat ourselves to a staycation for super discounted rates. Self-care and dinner are basically the same thing, right?

Four Seasons Hotel Cairo at the First Residence

For your next iftar you can choose anything off of their ala carte menu or one of their four set menus for EGP 550 per person. Either way, prepare to have your mind blown-- we're talking kofta with cherry sauce level epic. And since you're in desperate need of a day out (don't deny it), snatch up their day use offer because it will also land you that dreamy iftar.

Phone: 0235671835 or 01020050068

Cairo Marriott Hotel & Omar Khayyam Casino

Choose one of their six pre-made 'Khedive's Table' set menus, which might prove difficult if you're an indecisive foodie like us, and get the royal treatment for EGP 650 per couple. The multi-course meals have everything your heart can desire, from molokheya to Alexandrian-style shrimps, okra, to ooey gooey cheese kunafa. Click here for more iftar options at the Marriott.

Phone: 0227283000

The Nile Ritz-Carlton

No big decisions, no hassle. The Nile-Ritz Carlton is delivering a full iftar spread for four to six people so you can dine stress-free for EGP 1800. Anyone taking decisions off of our hands while we're fasting is a hero in our books. Pick it up hot or have it delivered to your home, just make sure to place your order 24 hours in advance.

Phone:01277233582 

Royal Maxim Palace Kempinski

3ezoumti by Kempinski has a hearty lineup of oriental classics, peruse their menu items starting from EGP 30 on their Instagram page and order anything off their iftar menu from the comfort of your own home. Go for the mix grill and live a little, it's probably the most action any of us will be getting for some time. 

Phone: 01026003524

Fairmont Nile City

Fairmont's Bab el Nil will send you a feast fit for kings, queens and gender non-conforming royals. We're talking mezze, sharkaseya, mango-lotus kunafa-- basically every single culinary invention in the Middle East. To order from the a la carte menu with items starting from EGP 30, check out their Instagram for the menu and make sure you place your order the previous day before delivery.

Ramses Hilton

Not only do they deliver the most delish Iftar to your home, but the hotel's chef de cusine Dimitrios Koutsonikolas also gives online classes via their social media.

Phone: 01012440224

Sheraton Cairo Hotel & Casino

Can we take a moment to appreciate how gorj this Tableyet Sheraton Iftar spread looks? What we wouldn't give to have it on our sofra.

Marriott Mena House

If you think about it objectively, sohour is a lot more fun than iftar. And if you don't agree, after Tabali's party box we're pretty sure you will. Get your foul, henna, and falafel fix for just EGP 109. Serves four. 

Phone: 19061

Cake Cafe

Arguably the cutest spot on the island of Zamalek, Cake Cafe has whipped up this adorable sohour box for the aesthetes among us. It's no cake, but it is definitely as pretty.

Make-It-At-Home kits are now a thing and we totes love them. They will not only satisfy every taste bud but keep you entertained, because there is literally nothing else going on in your life tbh. Sorry, not sorry. 

The Batter Half & Co.

Stuff your katayef with Nutella, red velvet cream, or Lotus. It doesn't really matter as long as you stuff your face with them after. Their EGP 300 DIY kit comes with konafa cones, nests, and balah el sham too.

With their quarantine brewing kits, this roastery's top-notch coffee is pretty much the only way you can pair your post-iftar dessert with the perfect cup of Joe.

Orders are only possible through their website.

TBS

Last year we thought basmoolah was as crazy as it could get. We mean, basbousa and maamoul was already a revelation, but we were wrong. Adding roz b laban into the mix as well, TBS is really taking advantage of how much of a wild ride 2020 is. We thank them for it, though. 

Phone: 16679

Phone: 01226972536 or 035449987

Catering

Dining in..well, it's not really an option. But living our best fancy lives and having a quarantine 3a-Zoom (get it?) is finally possible. Oh, this doesn't only apply for iftar because you'll deff have enough leftovers to last you for sohour and maybe even the next day's iftar.

The Smokery

Whoever said Ramadan has to mean Egyptian food is so outdated. We mean, sure, we love the staples but The Smokery is also throwing in a much-needed seafood extravaganza and some of our favourite Asian classics.

Phone: 01026019175

Très Bon

You can Très Bon à la maison with Très Bon's Ramadan catering menu. Sorry, we had to. But in all seriousness, cordon bleu sounds like a much-needed getaway from the same old home-cooked meals we've grown tired of. Look at their menu through their Instagram page for more treats like Shanghai beef and shrimp with crab sauce.

Phone: 19947

Ted's

Ted's has created a very special Ramadan menu for you to choose anything you want and get it delivered right to your home. We recommend their Spanish paella. No, it doesn't sound Ramadan-y, but this year's Ramadan is anything but traditional as it is. 

Phone: 16885

Eatery

We don't usually like restaurants that have menus that are bigger than our hopes and dreams, but the Eatery counts as an exception. Pineapple fried rice and pear and mascarpone banana bread? Yeah they can do whatever they want. 

Phone: 01278006668 or 01278005557 

Il Loft

Choose between a special a la carte menu or go with the set menu options. Either way, we don't think taking our taste buds on a trip to Italia could do us any harm right now.

Phone: 01096006882 or 01096007688

Desserts 

No matter what dessert it is, it's always dessert time--especially rn. Get ready for a konafa roller coaster ride.

Phone: 01023147888

Weirdough

Baklookies are the thing we never knew we needed. But now that they're in our lives...we also want the Doughnafa, tbh.  

Phone: 01000186544

House of Cocoa

Konafa? Yes. Tiramisu? Yes. Konafa tiramisu? Just take our money already. The masters of chocolate are introducing the power of cocoa into our Ramadan dessert plates, and whenever chocolate is in the picture, we oblige.

Phone: 01222212480

Mandarine Khoueider

We've never been able to resist Mandarine Khoeider's OG classic Ramadan desserts since we were born, and this year is certainly no different. If you're looking for staple desserts done right, this is your best bet.

Phone:01284444529 or 0224186555 or 022668055 or 01227333449 or 01225444447 or 01227333775

Phone: 01201967634

NOLA

NOLA went all out this year with a menu that is longer than Daenerys Targaryen's titles-- Lotus Om Ali, Nutella konafa, or its cookie dough sister, they've thought of everything we never did.

Phone: 0225874450

Simonds

Pampering us with a fine Konafa Nabulsiya since 1898, and more recently, quirky inventions like red velvet konafa have a taste of history delivered straight to your door.

Phone: 16264

Sultana Ice Cream

Who knew our fav Ramadan creation can also be ice-cream? Salted pistachio ice-cream or Kinder Bueno, there's an ice cream cake for any craving you'll encounter.
