5 Egyptian restaurants in Toronto you need to try at least once
Egyptian restaurants in Toronto are quickly becoming sources of some of the city's favourite dishes.
From unassuming family-run spots serving Egyptian-style comfort food to buzzworthy brunch spots, Toronto is home to some of the best Egyptian restaurants this side of Cairo — although, I may be biased.
Here are my picks for the Egyptian restaurants in Toronto you've got to try at least once.
Suma's Egyptian Grill
Traditional Egyptian cuisine meets American fast food at this unassuming East York restaurant, where you can order Sausage Hawashi, a full Egyptian breakfast, or opt for an old-fashioned cheeseburger with fries (I suggest the Egyptian food, though.)
Aragoz
Head to Scarborough to get your fill of halal Egyptian eats at this restaurant, whose extensive menu features traditional dishes like lamb shank, Kofta, Nos Mashwy and Alexandrian liver and sausage.
Maha's Restaurant
Expect to line up when you head to this Greenwood Avenue favourite — but just know it'll be well worth the wait. Now with a smaller satellite cafe in Leslieville, you have double the chance to try their wide selection of droolworthy Egyptian dishes.
Papyrus
You'll find a completely vegetarian menu at this Danforth restaurant, serving up classic dishes like Ful (made from fava beans, olive oil, tahini and lime), Egyptian falafel (which are also made with fava beans) and Koshari.
