? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

In the heart of Downtown Cairo, Sameh is redefining the humble fino sandwich with a flair that’s capturing the locals' taste buds. Traditionally, fino was a lunchbox staple, often filled with white cheese, sliced cucumbers, or the occasional chicken pane (when you’re lucky). But Sameh is challenging the traditional fillings with a creative menu.

The concept is as bold as it is exciting: There’s a create your own sandwich from a wide array of ingredients. Once you craft your own sandwich, Sameh will feature it on the menu and name it after you.

Many celebrities have graced his menu with their savory mix: You havethe Mourad Makram, named after the OG foodie of Egypt, with roast beef, fries, cheddar and kiri cheese, and there’s Sedky’s egg sandwich (named after Sedky Sakhr before his acting fame) — filled with eggs, tomatoes and kiri, homey and a staple. If you’re feeling hefty in indulging there's also Aly Kandil’s smoked sausages, cheddar cheese and mayonnaise — different but tasty.

For the adventurous who love the sweet and savory mix, the Am Ramadan blends honey, Kiri cheese, roumy cheese, and eshta — an unexpected combo that proved a modern classic.

For those with an unbridled sweet tooth, their menu features inventive options like Sasa el Helw, filled with Nutella, Lotus, and qeshta, promising a sugar crash like no other. You can also opt for the Mabsoota — honey, Loacker biscuits, Nutella, and Lotus — adding a little crunch to that sweetness overload.

He even delivers: Sameh is available on both El Menus and Talabat but to Dokki and Downtown and areas around it only — meaning you may have to make the trip downtown.
