Felfela is one of Cairo and Giza's most established mid-range Egyptian restaurant chains, reliable for traditional food in a setting that doesn't intimidate foreigners unfamiliar with the local dining culture. The menu covers all the Egyptian standards: foul medames, ta'amiya, hummus, baba ghanoush, stuffed vine leaves, grilled pigeon, kofta, and the various mezze dishes that make up an Egyptian meal.
The Giza branches are popular with both tourists and local families, and the food is consistently better than you'd expect from a chain: the foul is thick and rich, the pigeon is well-seasoned, and the bread comes fresh from the oven. Prices are reasonable and the menu has English translations. It is a good first meal in Egypt for travellers who want to understand what Egyptian cuisine actually is before they start eating from street stalls.
