Can anyone tell us if there are any traditional Egyptian restaurants that you may know of,also what are the main dishes.
There is a lot of Italian restaurants in Egypt as well as others but I don't seem to remember any real Egyptian Cuisine.

What actually is Egyptian cuisine anyway?

I'm guessing it's like Lebanese (which is wonderful)

A lot of it is like Lebansese then.

Excellent!

I love Lebanese, but the only ones in Prague and Riga were insanely expensive and so I could only ever afford to go there for a special treat.

Probably now I will be eating Egyptian every day and going to McDonlads for a special treat!
