This popular spot, owned by a man many say looks strikingly similar to the famous Sheikh Mishary Rashed, has become the talk of the town, but not for the reasons you’d expect. And it’s the hefty price tag on the breakfast is keeping people scratching their heads—and wallets.

So What’s The Tea Behind The Eye-Popping Fee?

For the uninitiated, the tray consists of Egyptian staples: foul (beans), crispy French fries, white cheese with tomatoes, and a side of eggplant. A humble, hearty meal you can find in nearly any corner of the country, often at a fraction of the cost.

Some say it’s all due to the social media hype. In today’s world of influencers and food bloggers, even the simplest of dishes can suddenly find themselves on a gourmet pedestal.

However, not everyone is grumbling. A few believe the price is justified, especially considering the rising costs of ingredients.

Still, whether you’re team “way overpriced” or team “seems fair,” one thing is clear: this tray has become a hot topic. If you’re feeling adventurous and have EGP 150 to spare, you might just want to try it for yourself!
