About Taste of Egypt

Taste of Egypt delivers genuine Cairo home cooking in Bankstown, serving hearty regional staples that cure homesickness on the spot. Run by owner Uncle Said with unhurried warmth, the dining room feels like eating at a relative’s house. Regulars lean into the specialties you rarely find elsewhere in Sydney—Alexandrian liver (kebda eskandarany), spiced tarb, and stuffed mumbar, alongside tender lamb shank and fragrant koshari. Just remember to bring cash before sitting down to finish with syrup-soaked basbousa.

  • Regional Egyptian Staples: Serves niche regional dishes like Alexandrian liver (kebda eskandarany), tarb, mumbar, and stuffed mahshi alongside traditional koshari.
  • Cash-Only Policy: Operates strictly on cash payments with an ATM located just a short walk away.

  • Hard-to-Find Regional Egyptian Specialties

    The kitchen prepares rare regional Egyptian favorites rarely found elsewhere in Australia, such as mombar, lamb moza, and traditional kebabs.

    The only place I have seen in Australia that provides authentic Egyptian dishes. Must try kabab and Kafka, the lamb moza is fantastic and the mombar is unique.

    Diners benefit from an on-site, dedicated prayer room that is kept clean, tidy, and well-ventilated for daily prayers.

    Another lovely thing they have a prayer room for anyone who wants to pray. It’s clean, tidy, and well ventilated, which I really appreciated.
