:x Can't stand moemen!!! Simply because they always took at least an hour to deliver their 30 min delivery in Cairo... My friend actually ordered once, more than an hour before she had to go to the airport. She never got her food... They showed up about 15 mins after she left :roll:

Something like 'SubWay' ? which has been here (in Chesterfield anyway)only a couple of years. I've never been in but it does look similar

Mo'men is soo good but we need one here in Luxor! I love their prawn sandwich.
In Luxor I do like meat in paper. Have any of you tried it? It's nice to eat with koshari. It's made with lots of union and black pepper. Once I found balls :oops: from my serving and it put me off for a little time but now I'm eating it again but told my husband to check there are NO balls again or anything else that nature in my food!!! :x

I should think so after all the orders we make there, I think they should give me a discount too!
It probably helps that we live fairly close to it to though! :oops:

Warda - oh dear - balls hiding in your paper?! Definitely below the belt! :lol:

I'm glad it was you and not me - I'm already really suspicious about any meat I eat, but that would have put me off for life!

You never know what you might get when asking meat.

I dont do Take Away here in Luxor, but at home in Belfast my treat on a Saturday night was often Indian. Hot enough to bring on a good sweat.
Phall being my favourite.

Balls :oo One more reason not to eat so much meat (other than chicken)!

I hardly ever eat take away, in the past I used to eat kebab and pizza but not much nowadays. Sometimes if I have been out in a night club I'm hungry and will go home after buying kebab.

Never felt like I had to try Mo'men but in Cairo I LOVE chicken! After a night out I usually want grilled chicken :P

I hate red meat in Cairo, tastes awful but in Luxor I can eat kofta and steaks. I can't figure out why food is so different in these two cities.
