Some places serve breakfast, others end with baklava and zero regrets. The Turkish Street in Cairo firmly belongs to the second category. Tucked away on North 90 Street in Second New Cairo, this spot greets you with tables packed edge to edge, warm bread and that Turkish comfort. It’s the kind of place where breakfast is not rushed.
The Turkish Street In New Cairo, Where Breakfast Is A Full-Day Affair
Before the food even arrives, the room sets the tone with sunlight bursting across the outdoor seating. On the inside, soft gold lanterns glow, and vintage Turkish car plates in the corners make it feel aesthetic.
Breakfast That Refuses To Be Modest
The menu reads as Istanbul’s morning markets translated for Cairo appetites. Menemen that includes soft eggs, tomatoes, peppers, and zero fuss. Then comes Eggs with sausage, Labneh, halloumi, kashkaval, helva, honey with tahini, and bread in every form.
Then there’s the Turkish Tray. Cheeses, jams, olives, pastries, pancakes, chocolate bread slices, and all the little extras. It’s not a buffet but a feast to dig in.
Simit, Börek, And The Point Of No Return
Simit shows up in every possible mood. From plain to Chocolate-dipped. Stuffed with cheese and vegetables , paired with egg and sausage and more. Börek arrives crisp and buttery.
When Lunch Quietly Takes Over
By midday, the menu shifts with Kumpir taking centre stage as mentioned in a report by Scene Now. That iconic Turkish baked potato comes ready to be loaded with jalapeños, olives, corn, red beans, pickles, and sauces.
The grills do their job well. Kofta and shish arrive reliably and boldly. Fish plates land with bread and vegetables and you can also indulge in fries here.
