Maadi, Zamalek, Garden City \u2014 all destinations that fit the bill, but what if the experience you\u2019re craving is one that is a little more over the top (quite literally)? We\u2019d urge you to make the trip to the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mazeejbalad\/?hl=en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Mazeej Balad Rooftop<\/a>. The crowning jewel of a newly-minted Michelin Key <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mazeejhotels.com\/\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">luxury boutique hotel<\/a> thrives on the balance between history and modernity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>The rooftop, clad in an amalgamation of trinkets and eccentricities tying several <\/strong><strong>centuries, cultures, and design languages together, is a microcosm of 20th century Cairo<\/strong>, offering a 360-degree view of its heart. With an eccentric spatial design featuring mosaics, intricate water features, gothic-style chandeliers, and myriad other elements drawn from scores of different eras, the rooftop proves the perfect palate cleanser, the first appetizer of many to come. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>In the spirit of honoring that balance, Mazeej Balad\u2019s <\/strong><strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mazeejhotels.com\/balad-menu\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">menu<\/a><\/strong><strong> presents familiar Egyptian <\/strong><strong>classics<\/strong>, envisioned through a global culinary lens that seeks to accentuate, rather than replace. The rooftop offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, as well as light snacks to be enjoyed by the bar. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We treated ourselves to a day-long experience<\/strong>, starting off with Mazeej\u2019s signature oriental tray, a filling, flavorsome start, comprising customizable eggs, ful, falafel, fried eggplants, a tomato cheese dip, a fresh salad, and halawa. To end the meal on a sweet note, we had the orange blossom and pistachio pancakes, an odd-yet-oddly-complementary explosion of flavor, topped with sweet orange pur\u00e8e, caramelised pistachio, and Mastika ice cream<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>We were advised to try the truffle cheese tomato dip, and heeded the call. <\/strong>Incredibly aromatic and unlike any dip of the truffle variety we had tried before, Mazeej\u2019s signature side proved a stroke of genius. Were you to visit soon, this is the one dish we\u2019d insist you try.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>For lunch, we ended up ordering the koshari arancini<\/strong> (essentially fried bites of the Egyptian national dish), beef kobeiba, and a lamb shank with vermicelli. The arancini surprisingly held themselves together, and packed a flavorsome punch. The kobeiba was well-seasoned, and the portion was just right with five large pieces. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It was the lamb shank that ultimately stole the show<\/strong>, proving that there are fewer pleasures in life than watching slow-cooked lamb fall off the bone. The meat was tender and earthy, and the bed of vermicelli on which it was laid was soft with butter and spice. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>WHERE TO FIND IT- <\/strong>You\u2019ll find <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/maps.app.goo.gl\/b4CnwXqFA8e1tCxG8\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Mazeej Balad<\/a> at 11 Mahmoud Bassiouny, Downtown Cairo.
