? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Your go-to shawarma place might have some competition when you taste Zain Al Shamlocated in the center of Souk Al Rehab. When we arrived at the place we got a whiff of spices and grills that made us know we were in for a treat.

For us it was a no brainer, we had to try the chicken shawarma. The meat had a perfectly spiced blend, juicy and tender — with the accompanying garlic sauce and the crunch of the pickles, it was a wrapped snugly winter treat. The Saj wrap was a bit on the brittle side, although that may have been a consequence of the cold weather.

Even though the shawarma was great, the chicken fattah really surprised us. One thing we will say is that it was a feast fit for kings — meaning the portion was hearty and meant for sharing. While the flavors were spot on, we couldn’t help but wish for juicier chicken pieces to truly elevate the dish.

The overall experience was great. While the ambiance of the place really gives you the full experience of eating the food, the restaurant delivers through El Menus, their website or their hotline, but only to residents in New Cairo.
