What to Eat at Radio Alexandria Egyptian restaurant راديو الإسكندرية 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 Radio Alexandria Egyptian restaurant راديو الإسكندرية, 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.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Radio Alexandria Egyptian restaurant راديو الإسكندرية, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Tips for a Better Visit
Start hawawshi. For a first order, try the Alexandrian hawawshi; it is repeatedly singled out for its filling and homemade flavour.
Try fatayer. Make room for a pie, especially if sharing: customers praise the fatayer and call the pies among their strongest dishes.
Check prices. Confirm the current price before ordering, since one review found the menu prices online were outdated.
Allow extra time. If you are visiting at a busy time, allow for a wait; one customer said the food took a little while but was worth it.
Dine in. Choose dine-in if you want the livelier Egyptian atmosphere, which one reviewer felt brought them back to Egypt.
Order carefully. For delivery, consider sticking to the better-reviewed staples: one order found the chicken crepe inedible and the hawashi merely okay.

Common Concerns
Outdated prices
A customer reported that menu prices shown online were lower than the restaurant’s actual prices and needed updating.
Small liver portion
The Alexandrian liver sandwich was flavourful, but one review found its portion small relative to the price.
Uneven delivery
One delivery order had an inedible chicken crepe and poor béchamel with fries, while the hawashi was only described as okay.
Occasional cold food
One customer reported that the falafel and foul were not fresh, lacked taste and arrived very cold.
Limited seating supplies
A review noted that there were no more tablets available for a group, suggesting the small space can be restrictive.

The Bottom Line
Radio Alexandria is a compact Egyptian restaurant in International City serving Alexandrian street food and traditional comfort dishes. The clearest reasons to visit are the Alexandrian hawawshi, fatayer and liver dishes: reviews describe the hawawshi as juicy and filling, while the pies are repeatedly praised, with one customer calling them the best they had tried in the UAE. The menu goes beyond snacks.
Customers also mention koshari, kofta, foul, falafel, molokhia with chicken, grilled sausages and sweet options such as the Nutella Lotus Crepe. Portions are often described as generous, and the food is frequently compared with homemade Egyptian cooking. Fresh mango juice is another specific recommendation.
The dine-in space is small but warm, with lively vibes, Egyptian-themed decor and welcoming service. Allow a little extra time during busy periods, as one review mentioned a wait. Groups may find the limited seating supplies restrictive.
There are a few cautions. A January review reported cold, unappetising foul and falafel, while a delivery customer found the chicken crepe inedible and the béchamel with fries poor. Also confirm current prices before ordering: one reviewer said the online menu was outdated, and found the Alexandrian liver sandwich portion small for its price.
