Address

35 Talaat Harb St, Downtown

A sweet shop on Talaat Harb that always seems to have a crowd. The glass cases are stacked with syrup-soaked basbousa (semolina cake), kunafa and baklava, sold by weight into boxes; plenty of people eat standing on the pavement. Walk a few blocks here after koshary to finish on something sweet.
