Sometimes the best meals aren’t from a restaurant, they’re from your neighbourhood supermarket. These five Egyptian supermarkets have managed to turn their ready-made sections into proper kitchens, serving up dishes that could easily pass for a home-cooked meal. Here are the ones worth checking out.

Seoudi Supermarket

Seoudi’s journey into ready-made meals started in District 5, where their international dishes quickly became a hit. Now, they’ve taken things up a notch with freshly baked pizzas. Crispy, cheesy, and generously portioned, their pizzas have quickly earned a loyal following.

Fresh Food Market

Fresh Food Market is where you go when you want variety that actually delivers. They cover everything from Egyptian comfort dishes to surprisingly good sushi and sashimi. The balance they strike is impressive, offering a range of wholesome home-style meals to something a little fancier, all at prices that make sense.

Oscar Stores

Oscar is the definition of dependable. It’s the place everyone knows and trusts, and for good reason. Their meals feel familiar and comforting, with prices that make them a real lifesaver for weekly meal prep. To put it in perspective: 200 grams of rice is just 20 EGP. Think of Oscar as the kitchen that’s always stocked with hearty, affordable food that tastes like it was made with care.

The Grocer

The Grocer has built a reputation around their food selection and thoughtful recipes. Their ready-made options don’t just fill you up; they feel like proper meals you’d actually want to sit down to, not just quick fixes. It’s the place to find dishes that are satisfying without being over the top.

Hyper One

Hyper One has long been the go-to for feeding a crowd. If you’ve ever needed to host a house party in a pinch, you probably know what we mean. Their portions are generous, and classics like whole chickens with fries are always on standby. Whether it’s one meal for yourself or enough to feed a table, Hyper One makes sure nobody leaves hungry.
