I went to Arabiata looking for a local Egyptian breakfast experience. Arabiata used to be one of many branches El Shabrawy chain of restaurants. El Shabrawy is a family business but when the father passed away, those branches were distributed among the next generation and this branch was renamed Arabiata.

Arabiata Eggs Menu - New Cairo - Egypt Other Breakfast options at Arabiata If you are looking for something different on the side, try the fried eggplants. Eggplant and Fries - Arabiata - Rehab City - New Cairo - Egypt Arabiata More Options Menu - New Cairo - Egypt Breakfast Cost at Arabiata Pricing is considered of above average range for egypt but it is still reasonably priced. I paid around 100 Egyptian pounds for Ful, Falafel, Eggs, and fried eggplants in addition to water and tea. This is around $6 (in US Dollars). This is a relatively cheap price for a fairly large breakfast. Arabiata - Egyptian Pickles- New Cairo - Egypt How to get there Rehab city is a relatively closed community though and although you can find your way in, it is originally meant for its residents and their visitors. It is part of the new communities built outside old Cairo in what is know today as New Cairo. [gmap-embed id="1881"] [gmap-embed id="1884"] [gmap-embed id="1885"] [gmap-embed id="1888"] There are many branches across Cairo. I tried some branches in New Cairo and the one close to the airport. One Arabia branch is located in 1st settlement (still in New Cairo). I Can't complain about quality of service over there. All the branches I tried (other than the one at Rehab) are not in a gated community like Rehab. I tried two other branches: Arabiata at Concord plaza New Cairo. Same level of service. Arabiata Airport: Was good, just too far for me to go back on regular basis. It is good if you're on way to or from the airport though. New Cairo - Egypt I checked some online reviews about Arabiata before I went, and found some angry or frustrated customer feedbacks. Some were talking about slow service, mistaken orders, or even orders with soda drinks or something spilled on their takeaway orders. I went anyway, and frankly I am happy I did. My own experience was great, and I went again a week later. I have also tied the branch in first settlement and I am still happy with my experience in Arabiata. I do recommend it for those visiting Egypt and looking for an Egyptian Breakfast experience.
