SceneEats Guide to Mac and Cheese

When it comes to comfort food, nothing holds court quite like mac and cheese. This isn't just something you eat—it’s something you surrender to, unapologetically. One bite and suddenly, even the worst day feels more manageable (or, let’s be real, a lot more delicious).

Whether you're going luxe with truffle or keeping it classic, this supposed ‘side dish’ never disappoints. But make no mistake: not all mac and cheese is created equal. The pasta must be perfectly al dente, the cheese luxuriously creamy, and if there’s a golden, crispy topping (bonus points for Cheetos), it’s game over.

So, without further ado, here’s your guide to Cairo’s best mac and cheese—because, let’s be honest, it's the culinary equivalent of a hug in a bowl.

Butcher’s Burger – Branches all over Cairo

You might come for the burgers, but you’re staying for the mac and cheese. Want to level up your indulgence? Get both. More food, more joy—it’s a simple equation.

Roy's Smokehouse – Marriott Hotel, Zamalek

Texas BBQ might be the headline, but here’s the real story: it’s the mac and cheese stealing the spotlight. Creamy, smoky, and utterly decadent, it almost makes the brisket feel like an afterthought.

Ted’s – Branches all over Cairo

Ted’s extensive menu can be overwhelming, but here’s the secret: skip the fuss and order the mac and cheese. It’s so good, you’ll wonder why you ever glanced at anything else.

O’s Pasta – 159 26th July St., Zamalek

O’s may be a temple to all things pasta, but let’s not kid ourselves—the mac and cheese is the true star. Silky, cheesy perfection that’ll have you rethinking all your previous comfort food loyalties.

Daddy’s Burger – Branches all over Cairo

Why settle for the ordinary when you can have mac and cheese topped with crispy Cheetos, bacon, popcorn chicken, or jalapeños? Daddy’s takes variety seriously, delivering bold, flavor-packed versions that redefine indulgence.

Munch & Shake – Tivoli Dome, Heliopolis & Golden Square, New Cairo

At Munch & Shake, the mac and cheese isn’t just cheesy—it’s practically oozing. Pair it with one of their legendary milkshakes for the ultimate comfort food combo. 

Longhorn Texas BBQ – Arkan Plaza, Sheikh Zayed & O1 Mall, New Cairo

Mac and cheese paired with smoky barbecue? It’s a no-brainer. But truth be told, once you dig into that rich, cheesy bowl of goodness, the BBQ might just fade into the background.

900 Degrees – Downtown Mall & Polaris Mall, New Cairo

Serving up the holy trinity of comfort food—pizza, pasta, and mac and cheese—900 Degrees is a haven for those looking to indulge. But, if you’re after the real deal, the mac and cheese is where your cravings will find their home.
