Chicken Tikka, Cairo

Often dismissed as just another fast food restaurant, this famous chain offers a great range of delicious and spicy dishes at reasonable prices. The sterile Americanized interior is decorated with pictures of pop culture icons. There is a wonderful salad bar with many middle-eastern dishes. Chicken tikka is, of course, the house specialty and always cooked to succulent perfection. The sheesh tawook (chicken kebab slow-cooked on a spit) and fajitas are equally tasty. Try the hot buri bread—its delicious.
