Here are some of my comments and favorites:

If you haven't tried the Onion Rings at Fridays you must; they are the best anywhere around.

the Best Koshary I've ever had in my life was at above Maadi on that tall hill at a place called Abu Khnfy; I'm trying to read it in arabic.  But it was fantastic.

I haven't found a place for good fried chicken in Cairo; evern KFC is not up to the standard, the service is terrible, and it's too disorganized with rude people breaking in line, and waiters not caring if you are served or not--disgusting.

The nicest meal of traditional food was at the original fil Fila, not the chain but the old restaurant.  It's near the Cairo University I think.

The best seafood was at the Fish Market in Maadi; but expensive.

And the best Mishowi or BBQ I've had in my life was at Rafia in Saida Zaynab; it's WOW!!! It's a MUST
