2011 Ramadan menu series: Our favourite Zamalek cafés Feel like cafe-ing in Zamalek for iftar? Here's a compilation of the menus, pricing and phone numbers for everyone's favourite spots
Although a home-cooked meal always takes first place for a Ramadan meal, our favourite Zamalak café takes a close number two. Here are some of our fav's, complete with pricing and menus. Remember to make a reservation (phone numbers are listed). Every week Ahram Online will focus on a Cairo neighbourhood that has a nice café culture: Heliopolis, Maadi and Mohandessein.
