Fatatri al-Tahrir

Fittir. Hmmm, fittir. These are sometimes translated as pizzas, sometimes translated as pancakes. They're really neither, but hard to explain. Dough that is sort of like a phyllo dough is handled like pizza dough and thereby made into an incredibly thin circle. Somehow, it's then folded in a way that maintains its circular shape, and savory or sweet toppings are put on top. Then baked in an oven much like a pizza oven. Best place in the city for this: Fatatri al-Tahrir. The place is a total hole in the wall with maybe 12 seats, but incredibly cheap and quite yummy. Don't be put off by the unappetizing photos - they are not a good representation of the delicious snack.
