The viral dessert inventions are what pulled 26M views in 12 days, and pistachio kunafa is the item creators keep returning to. Delivery menu items run EGP 35 to EGP 175, though one Sankorita was paid for at EGP 500. Against that: crowded branches, staff and delivery complaints, and some items called overhyped — 4★ from 11,356 Google reviews fits that split.
