An old-established Alexandrian liver joint in the Customs district, offering a wider variety of offal and beef dishes than similar spots.
Located at 32 El Sayed Mohamed Karim Street in the El Gomrok district, this is a local favorite for Alexandrian-style liver that is less known to tourists. Besides the signature liver, they serve kidney, brain, tongue, Alexandrian sausage, and mazalika (mixed offal), which can be ordered as sandwiches, grilled, or on platters. The environment is a simple street-side shop, not very suitable for family dining, and reviews on cleanliness are mixed. There is a newer and larger branch on the Corniche if you prefer a cleaner setting. It stays open until late at night, making it perfect for a late-night snack.
Opening hours
Daily approx. 11:00–4:00 the next day (some sources show opening at 12:00)
