Shamsa AbdulrahmanJanuary 5, 2017One of the best breakfast spots in cairo! Small space but SO good! Everything we had was good. Eggs, foul, falafel, cheese jars, dessert jars ❤
Upvoted Jan 5- Local food where you can dine with others on the same long table if you are ever alone in the city. I love Zooba foul or foul with pickled lemon. Try the Bissara too.
Soheir AbdelNabyApril 8, 2016I love Zooba though some people would find it over priced for the type of food they offer. Olive labna, fool Sojouk , pickled tomatoes, and white cheese with tomatoes are some of my favorites there.
N ➰September 20, 2018One of the best experiences I had in Egypt although the electricity went off don’t miss their koshari it’s really good 👌

Meryem MJuly 30, 2019Tried the Koshari, the fries and the hibiscus limeade and they were all so good. Excellent place for a local experience.
Fatima SakerJanuary 12, 2016The food is really delicious and the prices are great. Don't forget to buy some of the breakfast options in the jars.
NaifJanuary 6, 2016Excellent food, very nice ambience the only downside is that the staff don't smile
Moly Maba 💍November 12, 2018Falafel (classic or stuffed) is very yummy. Shakshoka & egg with gebna roumi are tasty. Place is simple and clean. One issue is the place is too small & most of the time we have to wait.
Sarah KholusiNovember 15, 2014best Egyptian food if you don't eat from the streets, zooba is where you'll find street Egyptian food ... clean and very tasty. (Koshari, bosara, rice pudding with sweet potato, sugarcane, ... etc)
Majed AlashariNovember 19, 2019Nice local Egyptian food. Tamiah is delicious however fouel & shaksouka was below average. Bread need to be fresh. I love their tea. This shop is very small with one long table so expect sharing.
Maina KhojaFebruary 27, 2020Small seating area, Their koshari, taamyah sandwich and rice pudding are to die for. Everything comes in plate/piece/ small and large sandwich.
Reem M 🧿August 15, 2018Loved it small place like the food but as a setting nope it’s more of a take away love it
FATEMA..February 3, 2023Cozy mix of traditional and modern local Egyptian cuisine.. good food and very affordable price ! I highly recommend it

David G.March 28, 2017I love everything here. Atmos inside is lovely, but just few places to sit inside. They have delivery.
Reem 🌍June 12, 2016Worth the try not sec visit. We had zooba foul, ta'meia, cheese and tomatoes salad, cherry tomato salad. Ta'meia burned, foul cold, salads and cheese were too salty I couldn't!

Ganna SaidAugust 31, 2012I am not a fan of Egyptian food but Zooba is slowly changing my mind. Their bread comes in different colors which is awesome, plus they make a lot of effort on presentation.

N✨August 14, 2016One of the best koshari in town , nice music but there is only one table :( sometimes u have to take it takeaway

Joury AlApril 18, 2018Loved the breakfast. The place is so tiny. It gets filled-up so fast so you better come early.

Zooba is turning Egyptian street food on its head. And dressing it up a little too.
