No Passport Needed

From Cairo,
to Long Island.

Abu Zayn is the best Egyptian kitchen on Long Island. Six tables, an open grill, and the recipes Chef Omar grew up cooking in Cairo: shawarma marinated overnight, kofta hand-pressed every morning, ta'ameya fried the moment you order.

Everything is halal, made fresh, and built around real Egyptian flavor. Eat in, take it home, or come hungry with the family.
