Cairo Grill’s menu isn’t organized by dish the way a lot of restaurants do it — it’s organized by format. The same kofta kabab that costs $6.99 as a skewer shows up again as a $8.99 wrap, a $12.99 bowl, and part of a $15.99 plate. That’s genuinely useful once you understand the pattern, because it means you can pick the format that fits the moment — a quick skewer between errands, a full plate for a sit-down dinner — without having to relearn the menu each time. This guide walks through every format on Cairo Grill’s current menu, with real prices pulled directly from the restaurant’s own menu file, so you know exactly what you’re ordering before you check out.
Skewers & Steak: The À La Carte Starting Point
Skewers are Cairo Grill’s leanest format — just the grilled protein, no bread or base included. This is where the menu’s price floor and ceiling both live: Chicken Kofta Kabab Skewer is $5.99 and Kofta Kabab Skewer is $6.99 at the low end, while Chicken Thigh Skewer and Chicken Breast Kabab Skewer sit at $8.99. Step up to New York Steak Kabab Skewer or Filet Mignon Lamb Kabab Skewer at $13.99, and the top of the format is Ribeye Steak (Halal) at $19.99. Skewers work best paired with a side — Basmati Rice ($4.99) or Pita Bread ($1.49) — rather than eaten alone.
Wraps: Built for Eating on the Move
Wraps take the same proteins and fold them into pita for a handheld meal. Falafel Wrap is $11.99, and the ground-meat wraps run from Chicken Kofta Kabab Wrap ($7.99) and Kofta Kabab Wrap ($8.99) up to Chicken Thigh Wrap and Chicken Breast Kabab Wrap ($10.99 each). Chicken Shawarma Wrap is $13.99, and the steak and shawarma tier tops out with New York Steak Kabab Wrap and Filet Mignon Lamb Kabab Wrap ($15.99), Beef/Lamb Shawarma Wrap ($16.99), and Ribeye Steak Wrap at $21.99 — the most expensive single item in the wrap format.
Bowls: Protein Over a Base, No Bread
Bowls swap the pita for a rice-and-salad base, which makes them a solid option if you’re skipping bread altogether. Falafel Bowl ($11.99), Merguez Sausage Bowl ($11.99), Beef Liver Bowl — Alexandrian Style ($11.99), and Chicken Kofta Kabab Bowl ($11.99) sit at the entry tier, with Kofta Bowl ($12.99), Chicken Shawarma Bowl and Chicken Thigh Bowl and Chicken Breast Bowl ($13.99 each), and Beef & Lamb Shawarma Bowl ($14.99) in the middle. The steak bowls top the format: New York Steak Kabab Bowl ($18.99), Filet Mignon Kabab Bowl ($19.99), and Ribeye Steak Bowl at $25.99.
Pita Sandwiches: Cairo Grill’s Signature Format
This is where two of Cairo Grill’s most distinctive dishes live. Falafel Pita is $9.99, and all three Hawawshi versions — Traditional, Jalapeno, and Sujuk (each a grilled Egyptian meat pie baked into pita) — are $10.99. Chicken Shawarma Pita is $10.99 and Beef/Lamb Shawarma Pita is $12.99. Beef Liver Pita, Alexandrian Style, and Mediterranean Sausage Pita both run $9.99 — the liver pita in particular is a dish worth its own explanation, covered in this cluster’s dish-education spoke.
Plates: The Full Sit-Down Meal
Plates are the largest individual-order format, built for a proper sit-down dinner rather than a quick bite. Vegetarian Plate and Beef Liver Plate (Alexandrian Style) are both $17.99. Chicken Kofta Kabab Plate is $14.99, Kofta Kabab Plate is $15.99, and Chicken Thigh Plate and Chicken Breast Kabab Plate are $17.99 each. Chicken Shawarma Plate is $22.99, New York Steak Kabab Plate and Filet Mignon Lamb Kabab Plate are $22.99, Beef/Lamb Shawarma Plate is $25.99, and Ribeye Steak Plate tops the entire menu at $28.99.
Combos: Wraps and Pitas With Sides Built In
Combos take the wrap and pita formats and bundle in sides at a modest premium over the standalone item — Chicken Kofta Kabab Wrap Combo is $11.99, Falafel Wrap Combo is $17.99, Hawawshi Traditional Combo is $16.99, and Ribeye Steak Combo tops the format at $25.99. If you were already planning to add a side to a wrap or pita anyway, checking the combo version first usually saves a dollar or two over ordering the pieces separately.
Family Meals: One Price for the Table
For $64.99 each, the Family Grill Feast and the Mediterranean Family Box are Cairo Grill’s answer to “what do we order for everyone.” The Family Grill Feast is the grilled-skewer option — 1 Beef Kabab Skewer, 1 Kofta Skewer, 1 Chicken Thigh Skewer, 1 Chicken Breast Skewer, 2 sides of rice or fries, and a side of salad with your choice of dip. The Mediterranean Family Box is the wrap-and-falafel option — 2 Hawawshi (8 pieces total), a Beef & Lamb Shawarma Wrap, a Chicken Shawarma Wrap, a Falafel Dozen, and a side of salad with your choice of dip. Both are shareable, multi-item spreads at a single flat price rather than an itemized combination of individual plates. For a household of four or five, either Family Meal is worth comparing against ordering four separate plates individually before you check out — see our full breakdown of both new Family Meals for the complete item list.
Rounding Out the Order: Sides, Appetizers, Drinks, and Dessert
Beyond the protein formats, Cairo Grill’s Appetizers & Salads section covers Lebanese Kubba ($7.99), Turkish Dolmas — stuffed grape leaves ($7.99), Eggplant Salad ($8.99), House Salad ($5.99), Tabbouleh ($6.99), Hummus ($6.99), Baba Ghanoush ($6.99), Tzatziki ($6.99), and Toumiya garlic dip ($6.99), plus grilled onion, tomato, and jalapeno skewers at $1.99 each. Sides run Bechamel Pasta ($10.99), Basmati Rice ($4.99), French Fries ($4.99), and Falafel Balls (half dozen $4.99, dozen $8.99). For dessert, Baklava (pistachio, walnut, or chocolate) is $2.99 each, and Turkish Ice Cream or Rice Pudding are $4.99. Drinks span Turkish Coffee ($5.99), fruit shakes ($5.99), Mango Lassi ($3.99), and Non-Alcoholic Beer ($2.99).
Weekly Day Specials Worth Knowing
Cairo Grill also runs recurring day-of-week specials at a discount off the standing menu — Koshary is featured on Tuesdays, Falafel Wrap on Mondays, Beef Liver on Wednesdays, and Ribeye Steak on Thursdays, alongside the Friday Lamb Shank Plate and Saturday Bechamel Pasta & Chicken Kabab special covered in detail in this cluster’s Friday/Saturday specials guide. Worth checking the ordering page for the day you’re planning to visit.
