About this spot
This mobile food stall in Zamalek specializes in the Egyptian staple ful medames, served with crispy fried onions and fresh parsley that elevates the humble fava bean dish.

Grab your coffee from the adjacent stand to complete the authentic Cairo morning ritual.

- Order extra ful medames if you plan to eat it as a full meal rather than a side dish.
- Bring cash, as mobile carts in Zamalek often do not accept credit cards.
- Arrive early in the morning for the freshest batch of beans before they run out.
