SceneEats Guide to the Best Roz Maamar in Cairo
The days of rock-hard rice and scarce meat portions are far behind us.
The traditional meat-embedded roz maamar, or roz bram, is one of those Egyptian dishes everyone loves, from picky kids to die-hard carnivores and cream enthusiasts. And for good reason; who could possibly turn away a smoking hot bram of creamy rice that always comes bearing the happy surprise of pieces of meat or chicken? It’s impossible to resist.
We used to say that if we’re not having our roz bram at our grandmother’s, it’s because we’re having it at our aunt’s - but at some point, one does overstay their welcome. This is why we’ve put together this comprehensive guide to roz maamar in Cairo, for those of us who have yet to find their footing in the expanse that is Cairo’s mashweyat scene - dive in spoon-first.
