Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Try feteer. Start with a feteer: traditional fateer begins at AED 20, and sweet pies were especially well received.

Share portions. Consider sharing a main-course pie or ordering the platter for six; reviews describe the portions as generous and filling.

The Bottom Line

Sharqy is an Egyptian restaurant in Al Barsha where breakfast, feteer and street-food-style dishes are the main draw. You can order foul and falafel, beef shawarma, or filled pies such as sausage feteer and mixed cheese fteer. The date cream mshaltet is another standout mentioned by recent diners.

The food is often described as authentic and filling. One reviewer said a main-course pie was enough for two, while another praised the meat with onions and chicken with potatoes sets for their generous portions and accompanying soup, tahini, pickles, rice and baladi bread. The restaurant also handled a 53-meal crew order smoothly, which is useful if you are feeding a group.

Service is usually warm and attentive, and staff have accommodated off-menu requests and explained the menu. That said, service can slow during busy periods. Seating is described as cramped in places, and reviews mention insufficient air conditioning near the fatayer oven; music can also become loud.

Parking around the restaurant is difficult, with a taxi suggested as the easier option from the MOE Metro Station. Prices reported by customers include traditional Egyptian fateer from AED 20 and a platter for six at AED 90. Feteer can be rich, so sharing is a sensible first approach.
