Lots of Kofta which was good, but I got tired of eating that after a while. Other than Kofta there are standard things like Kebab, various meat stews, a pasta/bean dish called Koshary, etc. Nothing really stood out. And I def tried to go to places where I saw lots of locals.

I was tempted to try pidgeon (it's a local delicacy apparentely) but I never found a place that I felt I could ... trust to not serve me the flying rat version.

Oh yea, and you're pretty good eating any meat since it's likely Helal(sp?) meat, but I was warned not to eat the vegetables unless I was at a restaurant because supposedly they tend to keep those out longer.

Oh man...koshary is bomb!! Did you at least like that? What about foul (pronounced fool)...did anyone try to feed you foul?

Yes once I discovered the hot sauce that goes with the Koshary I did like it. It's cheaper than Ramen too so it's pretty hard not to like it. If it had meat though that would really kick ass. I saw foul on the menu a few times but I don't think I ever ordered it. I ended up eating at that chain Felfella a bunch. I do enjoy Stella. I'm rather surprised that a Muslim country would brew any beer much less a tasty one so that was pleasant.
