Where to Find the Best Nubian Food in Egypt
Nubian food is an overlooked power move that's been sitting patiently while the rest of Egypt argues about pistachio kunafa. May 30, 2025 Nubian food is the kind of cuisine that quietly pulls you in. It's the slow-cooked stews, the smoky grilled meats, the warm spices, and dishes that taste like they've been passed through generations without ever needing a recipe card. But here's the thing: you don't stumble onto Nubian food, you're usually invited into it, whether by a friend, a road trip, or the smell of something rich and tomato-y coming out of a tiny kitchen by the Nile. And yet, for a cuisine with such depth, it's still surprisingly under the radar. You won't find it dominating Instagram feeds or plastered across delivery apps; but when you do find it? You remember it. So, we did what had to be done: we tracked down the Nubian restaurants, homes, cafés, and street spots that are keeping these flavors alive, and serving them with all the pride, patience, and pepper they deserve. Whether you're craving something new, nostalgic, or just deeply well-seasoned, these are the places to start. Nubian Village Restaurant Hilton Grand Nile Tower, Nile Corniche Tucked inside a fancy hotel but still serving food like it came out of someone's actual home kitchen. You might enter through marble, but inside it is full Nubian vibes. It's colorful, cozy, and deeply comforting. Solaih Nubian Restaurant Only reachable by boat, which somehow makes the food taste even more serious. You'll eat like royalty, surrounded by peace, palm trees, and zero city noise. Kato Dool Resort Nag' Gharb Siheil St., Aswan Nubian food hits different when it comes with Nile views and technicolor houses, and that's a fact. Lucky for us, Kato Dool resort serves home-style Nubian dishes and delivers on the scenery. Nuba House 42 Anwar Al-Mofti St., Nasr City A cozy Cairo spot that feels like it traveled straight from Aswan. The service is warm, the portions are generous, and yes, your hands will smell like cumin. WiNji Cafe & Restaurant Al Multaqa Mall, Alexandria A cheerful spot that feels more like a living room than a restaurant, complete with live music and clapping along you didn't plan for. The food's homey, the vibes are warm, and at some point you'll find yourself smiling mid-bite. Nubian Cafe & Restaurant Located somewhere between 'we're almost there' and 'we took the wrong exit,' this spot is a true roadside blessing. The food hits different when you've earned it via GPS mishap. Nubian Sky Restaurant This is what you eat after a long beach day when you've had enough seafood. Hearty, flavorful, and guaranteed to make you unbutton something. El Dokka Restaurant You take a boat, you eat like a local, and then you sit for way longer than planned. It's part restaurant, part day trip, and 100% worth it.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding plans as fans beg sports star to propose
Bad Blood billionaire, Taylor Swift, and American football star ,Travis Kelce, are one of the world's hottest couples and fans are desperate to see them walk down the aisle Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are keeping the world waiting when it comes to their much-hyped engagement. The Bad Blood billionaire, 35, and American football star, also 35, have been dating for almost two years and fans are desperate to see them walk down the aisle. The couple have kept somewhat of a low profile of late, prompting their legion of loyal followers to wonder if all was well between the pair. However, they returned to the spotlight last week when they enjoyed a date night in Florida, enjoying all swanky spot Harry's Bar and Restaurant had to offer. The restaurant, which is a short drive from Trav's plush new $20 million (£15m) waterside mansion in Boca Raton, provided the pair with a whole host of culinary treats, including Wagyu-style beef, lobster risotto, cacio e pepe pasta, dover sole and more. The bill, according to the Mail, reportedly totalled more than $400 (£295). But when is Travis going to pop the question? Claiming everyone is waiting for the Kansas City Chiefs star to ask Taylor's parents for their daughter's hand in marriage, a source said: "Everyone is just waiting for Travis to ask her parents for her hand in marriage, her parents will say yes, and they can't wait for them to get engaged. "Nothing seems to be imminent, but it will 100 percent happen. Taylor and Travis are treating this relationship as their last relationship, and when they get engaged, when they get married and when they start a family, it will be exactly when it is meant to happen." The new NFL season kicks off in September and is expected to be Travis' last. After the Chief's shocking Super Bowl loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in February, it is understood that 'Killa Trav' has been laser-focused on maintaining his fitness. Should Travis pop the question, it would seem he would have the blessing of Tay-Tay's parents. Earlier this year on Mother's Day in the US, they enjoyed a lunch in Philadelphia with both of their mums, as well as Travis' brother and sister-in-law, Jason and Kylie. Taylor's fans thought she and Travis would rock up at the American Music Awards on Monday where the Americana star was nominated for six awards. However, Taylor was a no-show at the glitzy bash in Las Vegas, which was hosted by Jennifer Lopez - and at which Billie Eilish swept the board, winning all seven awards she was nominated for. Taylor, who failed to win any gongs on the night, was rumoured to be announcing big news about her new album at the event. When the star was hyping up the release of her album Midnights years ago, she did a Midnights Mayhem With Me series to announce all of the song titles. The second and the sixth videos in the May'hem series both featured upside down phones. This led fans to think something would happen on May 26. Taylor also discounted some items on her website to 26% off recently, adding more fuel to the 26th theory. However, it looks like fans will have to wait for news regarding the album - and her engagement - at bit longer.

Taylor Swift skips the American Music Awards red carpet
Taylor Swift skips the American Music Awards red carpet No matter how hard Taylor Swift's fandom clamored online attempting to will the "Tortured Poets" singer into appearing at the American Music Awards (AMAs), she did not walk the purple carpet at the Las Vegas program. Swift is up for several awards: artist of the year, favorite female pop artist, album of the year, favorite pop album, collaboration of the year and favorite touring artist. 'Reputation (Taylor's Version)' announcement? On May 23, Swift was spotted with boyfriend Travis Kelce on the other side of the country dining at Harry's Bar & Restaurant in West Palm Beach, Florida. She has been keeping a low profile following the Super Bowl. She missed the iHeartRadio Music Awards in March where she was honored with a lifetime achievement award of "Tour of the Century." For weeks, fans have anticipated that she may show up to the Las Vegas broadcast to announce the rerecord of her highly anticipated album, "Reputation (Taylor's Version)." Swiftie influencer accounts compiled lists of "26s," the date of the AMAs. They pointed to the "Reputation" intro video from the Eras Tour where her high heels click 26 times. She debuted the video in March 2023, but fans thought it might hint at an awards show two years later. Tiffany Haddish, the actress Swift featured in a Reputation Stadium Tour video during "Look What You Made Me Do," was a presenter at the AMAs. "She has 676 posts which equals 26x26," one user also tweeted, pointing to the awards show date. Maybe the hints of "26" aren't a harbinger toward a day but the year 2026? The most scrutinized clue though came from the superstar's team when they switched up the shop section on to include four categories: Apparel, Music, Accessories and Sale. Long live the Eras Tour with our enchanting book Swift's previous American Music Awards Swift has taken home 40 awards, holding on to her AMAs crown of the most decorated artist. In 2022, the "Bejeweled" singer thanked her legion of supporters after winning artist of the year. "In the past few years, I have released more music than I did in the entire decade preceding that," Swift said holding the glass award. "I really feel like that's down to the fact you, the fans, made it clear that you wanted to hear lots of music that I would make."
