El Prince

El Prince is a delight. Located in Embaba area in Cairo, near the Nile. This famous eatery is known for their amazing molekhia, that their chef shows off in front of your table.  The chef easily poured each drop of the molekhia into a clay bowl on our table to share. (*Molekhia is a famous green leafy vegetable grown in Egypt.  It is known nationally for health benefits.) 

I never liked the consistency of this dish but at the El Prince that all changed. This all American girl changed her mind.  Molekhia 

All hot dishes where served in clay pots (bowls). Oven to table. Also, in the above photo is another known Egyptian dish, Torly, lamb, carrots,  potatoes,  peas,  tomatoe sauce with many glorious spices. 

They decorated the table as soon as you are seated in the outdoor seating dining.  It's decorated with tahini,  fresh baked Egyptian bread, baba ganoush, cucumber & tomato salad, and pickled eggplant before the main entrees arrived. 

I highly recommend this fabulous Egyptian eatery. Superb service and great priced.
