Tabkha Space
A sidewalk kitchen near Qasr El Aini with a changing daily Egyptian menu
About
Tabkha Space is a small, homemade Egyptian kitchen near Qasr El Aini in downtown Cairo, run by chef Hakeem Shamy. The daily menu depends on what is fresh at the market that day, and the concept leans toward an open kitchen where guests can join in the cooking rather than simply being served. It is also known for accommodating vegan and vegetarian diners.

Photographers and artists of Cairo
We are telling the story of how Cairo shops for food: the chains, the baqals, the kiosks, and the map of where they all are. It is a story made of numbers, and it is missing your pictures. Send us photographs or artwork of the grocery experience in this city. Your name is on everything we publish.
For example
- Someone buying tomatoes.
- A woman comparing two packets of pasta.
- Or surprise us. You know this city better than any brief we could write.
