Rehab's Makhmakh Serves Classic Sandwiches With a Brain-Chewing Twist
Will these sandwiches pick your brain, or will you pick theirs? The lore intensifies…
When growing up in Egypt, it’s a rite of passage to scream the first time you see brains in a supermarket butchery’s freezer. After all, amongst the first things we’re taught is that brains belong inside your head, and so naturally upon encountering a brain - one chopped to pieces, nonetheless - elsewhere, everything we thought we knew begins to crumble.
Yet this sudden horror almost always smoothly transitions into a curiosity of sorts; people eat brains? Why? When one begins to seek answers to such questions - one learns that cow brains are perhaps one of Om El Donya’s prime delicacies. In Rehab City’s old market, no one knows this better than Makhmakh.
Serving fried ‘mokh’ - brain - sandwiches, fried-shrimp sandwiches, and ‘kebda’ sandwiches on the go, this spot has perfected its peculiar meats, preserving the traditional Egyptian street food classic sandwiches, all whilst adding a little pizzazz with all sorts of salads - think tahini, ‘whiskey’, as well as kebda and brain salads - and pickled goodies.
Yet if a sandwich just isn’t your thing and you find yourself yearning for more - brain is addictive, after all - you can order Makhmakh’s classic cuts by the kilo to take home - or gorge on in your car, we don’t judge - because the more the merrier, no?
