About
El Shabrawy traces back to a small stall opened in El Korba, Heliopolis, in 1948 by El-Hajj Shabrawy El-Kebir, serving ful medames and falafel with the family's own spice blend. It grew into a multi-branch Cairo chain, and this Heliopolis location serves the same core menu of ful, falafel and Egyptian fast food.

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.
