Trying Every Restaurant on the NYT 2025 Top 100 List – Abuqir Seafood
Trying Abuqir Seafood which made the New York Times Top 100 list yet again. Last year I wasnβt completely sold because I found the scallops a little fishy, but this visit changed my mind. My recommendation is to start with a couple of the dips and a Greek salad, but definitely make the seafood the focus of your order

Oh my, that baba ganoush looks incredible!
Andrew wya?!
Not only all the seafood looked fresh but the baba ganoush and the bread looked delicious too also same for the octopus
We posted at the same time π₯
As an Egyptian, this place has the best tahini ever. Must try!! Get it instead of the eggplant.
Iβm seriously just obsessed with every video you post ! The food looks sooo good, Iβm a huge sucker for pita and some dips πππ
Octopus. π
Why would you branch out on the dips? Baba ganoush is the perfect dip!!!
Totally my kind of place!! Mic and match, you pick the style. Fantastic. I moved from Jersey to NC 15 yrs ago and I hate the fact that most all fish is cooked calabash style, which is breaded and fried π’
Go to Hamido instead!
We had tagine when I went here and it was so good – highly recommend
Having to pick sounds kinda stressful but the food looks absolutely delicious!
Girl get some pupusas
My uncle in law is from Alexandria and introduced this spot to me as a place from home. You should order the tagine here. It's usually a mix of squid and shrimp and it's the best dish. Make sure to get the seafood stock rice/sayadiya also. Also, the tahini as mentioned by others is fantastic.
Great fresh seafood and delicious βsidesβ Itβs a bit out of the way though.
