It was my first time in Dubai. I was not just eager to try the local cuisine at United Arab Emirates but also discover other international gastronomy. Mina, a friend of mine, took me to Al Amoor Express. It was my first time to try Egyptian cuisine. Was it good? Check out below!

The ambiance in Al Amoor Express was very inviting. The open kitchen is visible to the diners and you can ensure that the food served are freshly made. They also have courteous staff that is willing to assist you with your orders. During my visit I ordered the following:
Macaroni with Bechamel Pasta was my first main course. It was very heavy in flavors! Good thing Mina helped me finished it. Sharing a food with a friend makes your dining experience more fun! I’ll grade it as HIT.
Mixed Meat Pie was our second main course. It may not look very appetizing but it was packed with proteins and savor flavors. It is composed of chicken as main meat, pastrami and hotdog as sausages. It is very heavy and not too oily. I really love the balance of flavors on this pie. I’ll give it an ACE.
Rice with milk and nuts was our dessert of choice. It was milky and fruity/nutty in flavor. Not too sweet too! I’ll give it a HIT.

Overall, I was really happy to have my first Egyptian food experience. I really want to thank Mina for showing me this wonderful place. I’ll definitely come back to eat here again!
Al Amoor Express is located at Next to Al Ansari Exchange, Near Mall of the Emirates, Al Barsha, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is open from 7:30 AM to 2:00 AM.
I’ve never tasted Egyptian cuisine before! From your yummy images looks like I’m really missing out. You have so many fantastic restaurants in Dubai. I’d love to vacation there one day and have an awesome foodie experience!
Next time if i m going to dubai i will also try these food items and explore new international cuisine.
Do you know I don’t think I’ve ever tried Egyptian Cuisine but you make it sound delicious – I would definitely like to try it I’ll have to see we have an Al Amoor Express 🙂
This all looks tasty! I’ve never had Egyptian food before, so I need to try it one day.
Mmm those dishes look tasty. I enjoy trying different types of cuisine. I don’t think I’ve had Egyptian yet.
The rice dessert looks yum :). I went to a seafood restaurant in Dubai you might like.

Al Amoor Express sounds like a great place to hang out with family and friends. At first, I thought that meat pie was a pizza from afar seems like I was mistaken and I’d love to try that delicious looking Macaroni with Bechamel Pasta.
I’d be happy to have this experience too. I’d love to try the rice with milk and nuts.
Those food looks all delicious!! Yum!! Rice with milks and nuts is my favorite
I believe I would love all of these, maybe with the exception of the rice, milk, nuts. I love trying new foods as long as they sound appetizing.
Ive never had Egyptian food before. It all looks and sounds yummy
I have been to Dubai and I wasn’t able to try this cuisine. I guess I will check its branches too. Never tried Egyptian cuisine as well and I wanna try it.
Never tested egyptian cuisine, looks interesting! I’m always curious to eat something different, to know more about other coutries traditions too!
The rice with milk and nuts sounds really good. I’ve never had Egyptian cuisine before but it all looks delicious!
I’ve never tried authentic Egyptian dishes before but this post make me interested of its taste. Though the macaroni with bechamel pasta is almost common, I am curious if it is different from the usual meal I know.
I love that the kitchen is open! Some of this food sounds so delicious! I would love to try a bite or two.
We enjoyed trying out the local Egyptian cuisine when we visited Egypt a few years back. I liked the many roadside eateries – a perfect local experience.
No wonder you liked this place, that food sounds and looks delicious! The macaroni looks so rich and that meat pie sounds incredibly savory. Love that all three courses were amazing and now I can’t wait to try some Egyptian cuisine!
Dubai always surprises me with so much to offer and an Egyptian restaurant just tops it now. The food looks amazing and something different then the normal cuisines on offer. I would live to try the rice with milk and buts having a sweet tooth. Thanks for sharing this place.
Egyptian cuisine in Dubai? Why not? I find it interesting that so many cuisines have their own versions of pasta dishes and meat pie. And that dessert sounds amazing – like rice pudding but nuttier – yum!
Great timing on reading this, as we are heading to Dubai in the new year, and I want to explore some good restaurants. I love the look of that mixed meat pie you had for your main, what a fascinating mix of meats in one dish! I’m intrigued by the dessert too. I’ve not encountered much Egyptian food so this would be a good option for me to visit.
I didn’t realize that some of these foods are considered Egyptian, especially the macaroni with bechamel sauce. I love the interior of the restaurant. It looks classy and modern, which is stunning. Seems like you can find all sorts of cuisine, Egyptian included, in Dubai!
I always enjoy coming here as the staff are always very friendly and helpful,
The quality of the food is great, especially the Mixed Meat Pie!
Well, now I’m hungry. All the food you tried sounds really good. I’ve had several different varieties of Middle Eastern food, but I’ve never had Egyptian food. I’d love to try it.
I can see why you love going to this place! The foods look spectacular and the atmosphere sounds very relaxing.
I haven’t tried Egyptian food before. It looks amazing! So delicious.
Aaannnhhhaaaaaa….new day, new place earmarked to visit! I will be visiting them soon enough.
That all looks amazing! Especially that mixed meat pie! I want to try that!
Wow! The food looks so delicious and this recommendation is something that I feel like I wouldn’t get elsewhere! Thanks so much for sharing.
I am not too familiar with Egyptian cuisines. But I am sure it’s fantastic. You boys seemed to have a good time there.
Looks like some great food! An Egyptian restaurant has opened near us and can’t wait to visit
I don’t think I’ve ever tried Egyptian food, but it all looks and sounds so delicious. I look forward to trying it some day.
Everything looks so delicious! I definitely need to get my hands on some Egyptian food. Because yum! Thanks for much for sharing ♡
you are a great traveler! i haven’t tried Egyptian cuisine, but wouldnt mind to try one someday. do you think a Filipino like me with a sweet tooth would love it? im curious 😀
I have never had the opportunity to taste authentic Egyptian food ever. I just love the looks. They must be tasting awesome too.
Looks like you enjoyed yourself and had a good meal at the same time too. why not xx
I have never tried Egyptian cuisine and it looks delicious on the photos. I’d try it someday.
It sounds like a great place to try Egyptian cuisine though I’ve never tried some yet for a while now. All of that food looks quite delicious and I’d love to try someday.
I have not tried Egyptian cuisine yet, but these ones you featured look really good! I have to take a look around if there are any Egyptian restaurants near me. Or better yet, I will plan a trip to Egypt and get authentic dishes right at the source!
I was expecting Egyptian food to be on the exotic side but they all seem to be familiar. I do hope to try something that is definitely Egyptian or one cuisine that captures what Egypt is all about.
