The Bottom Line

Al Amoor Express is a traditional Egyptian restaurant in Trade Centre, and the reviews make it most appealing for hearty, familiar dishes rather than a polished fine-dining experience. Start with koshari or feteer; the latter appears in versions filled with sausage, vegetables and several cheeses. Egyptian breakfast is another strong draw, with foul, falafel, eggs, cheese, fries and hot pita served in one notably generous spread.

Portions are often large, and diners mention good value, including meals that were enough to take away. The mixed grill, Alexandrian beef liver and pigeon kebab also receive specific praise. Vegetarian diners have options, while the menu extends beyond the staples to rice pudding and other Egyptian favourites.

The traditional décor and Arabic atmosphere are part of the appeal, and many customers describe the team as warm and helpful. The branch is reported as open 24 hours, with breakfast available from 7am to 2pm in one review. Still, service is not perfectly consistent: some guests experienced long waits, and delivery reviews describe spoiled or undercooked food.

Indoor heat, kitchen smoke and smoking-area seating are recurring practical cautions. Ask about your table and check delivery orders promptly, especially when an advertised extra matters.
