“Primarily a grill house, but their koshary is excellent and served in a more comfortable sit-down setting.”
Fattah is the celebratory centerpiece of the Egyptian table, a rich and layered dish that is historically served at weddings and religious festivals. It begins with a base of crispy fried pieces of 'Aish Baladi' bread, which are soaked in a savory meat broth until they just begin to soften. This is topped with a layer of white rice, and finally finished with large chunks of boiled and roasted beef or lamb. The entire construction is crowned with a zesty and aromatic sauce of vinegar and fried garlic. In Sharm, a proper Fattah is a mountain of comfort, providing a complex interaction of textures—crunchy, soft, and juicy—all bound together by the sharp, acidic punch of the garlic-vinegar sauce. The trap is a 'dry' Fattah where the bread hasn't been properly soaked; it must be moist, fragrant, and rich enough to be the only thing you eat all day.
