Chinese restaurants and eating out in Egypt
Cairo, Giza, Alexandria and the Red Sea cities all have Chinese restaurants. Practical tips for choosing a place and ordering delivery.
Choosing a restaurant
- Check that opening hours and address are current; hours change on holidays and during Ramadan.
- See whether the restaurant shows halal information at the door or on the menu, and choose according to your own diet.
- Tell the restaurant about allergies in advance. Common allergens include peanuts, sesame, seafood and gluten.
Delivery and food safety
- Check that packaging is intact and food arrives at the right temperature.
- Food-safety problems can be reported to the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA).
Ramadan
- Be respectful and avoid eating or drinking in public during daylight.
- Restaurants and roads are busiest at iftar (sunset), so book and order early.
