Shawarma abou mazen restaurant — Restaurant in Cairo

English Review: I recently dined in at Shawarma Abou Mazen, and overall, it was a decent experience. Starting with the positives, the atmosphere was perfect—comfortable and inviting, making it a nice spot to enjoy a meal. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the service was good overall.

Now, onto the food. The shawarma itself was tasty, but the portion size left me wanting more—I didn’t feel full afterward. Also, who uses regular cucumbers instead of pickled cucumbers? That was a bit disappointing since pickles are such a key part of the flavor balance. On the bright side, the rice was delicious and well-cooked. However, the fries were a real letdown; they were far from the quality I expected and brought the meal down a notch.

In terms of cleanliness, the restaurant itself was clean, but the sticky menu was an oversight that didn’t sit well with me. Hygiene is important, especially for dine-in. As for pricing, it was decent and fair for the quality, though I’d expect a bit more consistency in the food to match the value.

Overall, I’d give it a 4/5. It’s worth visiting for the atmosphere and the rice, but I hope they improve on the fries and shawarma portions next time!

Arabic Review: تجربتي الأخيرة في مطعم شاورما أبو مازن كانت كويسة بشكل عام، لكن فيها شوية ملاحظات بسيطة. نبدأ بالإيجابيات: الأجواء في المكان كانت رائعة بصراحة، مريحة وبتخليك تستمتع بالوجبة. الستاف كانوا ودودين والخدمة كانت ممتازة.

بالنسبة للأكل، الشاورما كانت طعمها حلو، لكن الكمية بصراحة كانت قليلة وما شبعتني. يعني مين بيحط خيار عادي بدل المخلل؟ المخلل حاجة أساسية في الشاورما وافتقدتها جدًا. الرز كان ممتاز ومضبوط، لكن البطاطس للأسف كانت صدمة كبيرة، ومش بالمستوى اللي توقعته.

المكان نضيف ومرتب، لكن المنيو كانت لازقة وده حاجة تخليني أحس إن فيه اهتمام ناقص بالتفاصيل. بالنسبة للأسعار، فهي مقبولة مقارنة بالجودة، لكن ياريت يكون فيه شوية تحسينات عشان تبقى التجربة متكاملة.

تقييمي للمكان 4/5. أنصح بالمكان للأجواء والرز، لكن أتمنى يزودوا كمية الشاورما ويظبطوا البطاطس...

Great Syrian fast food restaurant. Awesome shawarma specially when paired with their garlic dip which is among the best I have tasted. Love the shawarma sandwich and fattah. Great grilled options are available as well. Nothing else really stands out. I remember eating iftar here a while back and the service was very slow, AC was not working and overall it was not a good experience. That's why it's 3 stars even though I like it until I...

Dedicated genuine Syrian kebab house on the main road of the Autostrad, close to the busy CityStars area. The food is very good and tasty but lacks a touch of perfection, spoiling the pleasure. Service is slow even in the rare instances when it's not crowded. Outdoor seating is on the parking lot and the main road exposing you to massive pollution. Menu items are often unavailable or in...
