Best Mixed Grill & Hawawshi in Sharm El Sheikh

The Mixed Grill and Hawawshi represent the charcoal-grilled heart of Egyptian street and social dining. A proper Mixed Grill features skewers of marinated lamb (Kebab), spiced ground meat (Kofta), and juicy chicken (Shish Taouk), all grilled over natural wood coal to achieve a perfect smoky char. Hawawshi is its handheld partner—a pocket of 'Aish Baladi' bread stuffed with a spiced minced meat and vegetable mixture, then baked until the bread is incredibly crispy and the meat is juicy and fragrant. In Sharm, these are the mandatory choices for a celebratory group meal or a quick, high-energy street snack. The trap is buying 'pre-grilled' meats or Hawawshi from a generic fast-food shop; it must be prepared fresh over real fire to capture the essential spirit of the Egyptian grill.
