Taste Egypt's Heart

Egyptian Pharaoh brings the timeless flavors of Egypt to the streets of Vienna, Virginia. Founded by Chef Youssef Yaqop, whose passion for cooking began at age eleven in his hometown of Cairo, this food truck blends decades of culinary experience with the authentic warmth of Egyptian street food culture. Every dish tells a story of heritage, spice, and tradition served with pride and a modern twist

The menu features Egyptian classics that have stood the test of time, from crispy falafel tucked into soft pita to aromatic kufta grilled to perfection. Favorites like kushary, Egypt’s national dish, and the signature beef hawawshy showcase the rich balance of texture and flavor that defines this cuisine. Each plate comes complete with golden fries or fresh salad for a filling, satisfying meal.

For those with a sweet side, Egyptian Pharaoh also serves an irresistible lineup of desserts that honor the country’s famed pastry heritage.

With every bite, Egyptian Pharaoh delivers a taste of home and a touch of Pharaoh-worthy perfection.
