What to Eat at Masry Afandi Restaurant - مطعم مصري أفندي How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Masry Afandi Restaurant - مطعم مصري أفندي, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

Tips for a Better Visit
Allow time. Avoid tight schedules for orders: one customer reported waiting more than an hour, while another waited 35 minutes for two shawarmas.
Check order. Check the bag before settling in, especially for add-ons: one seafood order arrived without rice and the meal became cold while the issue was resolved.
Try pickup. If collecting food, leave notice in advance and confirm the promised time; one scheduled pickup was ready hot and well packaged.
Order koshary. Koshary is one of the safer first choices according to positive reviews, including one calling it the best in Dubai.
Check freshness. Inspect temperature and freshness on arrival, since one customer received food described as cold, with bread that was not fresh.

The Bottom Line
Masry Afandi is an Egyptian restaurant in Al Hudaiba where you can eat in, arrange pickup or order delivery. The review highlights include koshary, molokhia soup, mixed grill and classic dishes such as foul and tamia. Several customers describe the flavours as authentic or homemade, and one Ramadan review praised the Egyptian-style iftar dishes, bread and rice.
Packaging is a genuine strength in some delivery experiences. One customer received a pickup order exactly when promised, hot and well packaged, while another found the packaging, portion size and taste flawless. Koshary draws especially enthusiastic comments, and molokhia soup is singled out as a dish not to miss.
The experience is uneven, so timing and order checks matter. Multiple reviewers report long waits, including more than an hour for an order and 35 minutes for two shawarmas. Others received the wrong meal, seafood without rice, cold food or dishes with little flavour.
There are also complaints about unanswered calls and WhatsApp messages, as well as staff attitude. For a first order, pickup with advance confirmation may be less risky than relying on a tightly timed delivery; check that the bag contains every part of the meal before the food cools.
