Why it matters
Why Layali Masriah is worth your time
Egyptian cooking is a large part of Sharjah's mixed food scene, with the city's Egyptian residents providing a steady customer base. For a visitor, it is a way to eat something other than Indian or Lebanese food, with dishes that are soft and mild enough for older travellers.
It is untagged and not a vegetarian specialist, so treat it as an option for groups with different diets. Ask about fillings and stock before ordering for vegetarian diners in the group.

How to experience it
Order molokhia if you want the dish Egypt is known for, a green leaf stew usually eaten with rice or bread; ask whether it is made with meat or chicken stock. Feteer meshaltet is a flaky layered pastry that may come savoury or sweet, so check the filling.
Hawawshi and mixed grills are meat dishes, listed for the non-vegetarians in the group. Mezze is the vegetarian fallback.
The address is Tower 400 on Mina Road, so give the tower name to the taxi driver. Share dishes among the table, as portions in Arab restaurants tend to be generous.
