Try feteer. Order feteer if it is your first visit; reviewers repeatedly call it a signature, especially with meat or cheese.
Plan timing. Allow extra time during busy periods: one diner reported a long wait even with few people seated.
Check seating. Ask whether your table is in the smoking area, as some diners were seated there without realising it.
Mind ventilation. If heat or smoke bothers you, ask for a better-ventilated table; reviews mention fans, kitchen smoke and ventilation issues.
Ask about extras. For set meals or delivery orders, check that every advertised accompaniment is included; one Ramadan order missed its juice.

Delivery reviews report spoiled food, undercooked dishes, chewy meat and crunchy rice, so quality can vary by order.
One diner waited a long time despite the restaurant being lightly occupied, while another order took 40 minutes to cook.
The indoor area can feel hot, and reviews mention smoking areas, kitchen smoke and limited air-conditioning or ventilation.
One review objected to the charge for bottled water, reporting AED 9 for a bottle.
Football matches on large screens have made the dining room noisy and distracting for some customers.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.

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.
