King Chicken Restaurant

كينج تشيكن

Dahab's longest-established budget Egyptian eatery, serving grilled chicken set meals with soup and rice, with a queue almost every day.

Located on Tawfik El Hakim Street in the Mashraba district, not on the seafront, this restaurant is always busy and is known as one of Dahab's oldest and best-known eateries. Choose Arabic-style grilled chicken or fried chicken. Set meals come with rice, an appetizer soup, salad, bread, bean soup and hummus. Traditional Egyptian dishes include molokhia soup, grilled minced meat skewers and stuffed pigeon with rice. It is inexpensive, with queues at mealtimes, so visiting off-peak is advisable. Open from noon to 2 a.m.
