Meet ‘Malek El Samboksa’ - Hidden Gems Shaabi: Ep. 3

Tucked away in a winding street in Boulaq is a family-run business that smells of fried cheese and resounds with the crunch of fried dough. 'Malek El Samboksa' is just that: an inventor of a breakfast staple that comes with varied stuffing options and is wrapped in a thin layer of dough. While the recipes are inherited, they’re not antiquated and despite not being a sprawling restaurant on a main road, 'Malek El Samboksa' sells out by 10 AM every day.
