The Bottom Line

Masmat Baha is a traditional Egyptian restaurant in Al Barsha, near Mall of the Emirates. It suits diners looking for familiar Egyptian flavours rather than a polished, formal setting. Hawawshi, kofta, mixed grills and kawarea soup are among the dishes that receive the clearest praise, while adventurous diners can explore mombar, liver, intestines and brains.

The setting is casual, with indoor and outdoor tables and enough space for groups; one party of 25 reported that food arrived promptly. Fresh salad, bread, hummus and tahini are mentioned as useful extras, and several diners say the food tastes like what they have eaten in Egypt. Families are welcome, though reviews repeatedly flag the limited toilet provision.

Plan for a lively atmosphere: the restaurant can become crowded and noisy, evening queues can be long, and service may slow during peak hours. Parking immediately nearby is difficult, but Mall of the Emirates is close enough to use as a parking option and walk from. Pricing opinions vary.

A kebab sandwich was reported at AED 19 and meat soup at AED 13, while another diner paid AED 150 for food, two waters and two Barbican juices and felt portions, especially rice, were small. Delivery fees are worth checking before placing a nearby order.
