Egypt's Biggest Feteer Meshaltet Is at This Century-Old Restaurant

The worst thing about feteer meshaltet is that it starts dining room wars over who gets the biggest piece, and even when we think we’ve ordered too much, it’s never enough. When it comes to that airy, soft crust, everyone suddenly becomes insatiable.

Thankfully, all hope is not lost. 'Awlad El Hussein', the beloved Sayeda Zeinab pie spot, knows exactly what it means to watch families fall apart over the last slice of feteer meshaltet. They decided that finding a solution was no longer a matter of generosity; it was a matter of survival. So, they created Egypt’s biggest feteer meshaltet.

No longer just in Sayeda Zeinab, Awlad El Hussein is now saving families across New Cairo, too. Their enormous feteer is now available across most of Cairo, and it tastes like the real deal, straight from a century-old kitchen. None of that gentrified nonsense.
