Kababgy El Maady
Cairo, Egypt
The read// why locals go
Kababgy El Maady is a charcoal grill house on Road 9 in Maadi, doing kofta and kebab for the Cairo suburb that lives around it. The format is the classic Egyptian kababgy: you order meat by weight, it goes over charcoal, and it arrives with flatbread, tahina, salads and grilled vegetables in a spread that covers the table. Nothing is complicated and nothing needs to be. Maadi is a leafy, low-rise district south of the centre with a long-settled population, and Road 9 is where it eats out, so the tables here fill with families and neighbours on any given evening. Prices stay low enough, around 45 pounds, to make this a weekly habit rather than a night out.
