Alaz is a modern Egyptian restaurant at 448 Chiswick High Road in Chiswick. Its menu brings together Cairo street food, generous home cooking and a contemporary café style, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served throughout the week. Egyptian chefs prepare familiar recipes with halal ingredients, while a broad selection of vegan dishes makes the restaurant accessible to different diets.
Breakfast introduces several staples of Egyptian daily life. Fuul mudames can be served with tahini, olive oil or the restaurant’s own seasoning, while the full Alaz platter adds falafel, feta with tomato, eggs and sourdough pita. Kebda Eskandarani brings cumin, garlic and chilli to pan fried beef liver, and lighter choices include avocado, poached eggs and fresh breakfast salads.
Koshari combines lentils, rice, pasta and chickpeas with tomato sauce and crisp onions to create a substantial vegan main. Hawawshi fills pita with spiced minced meat, onion, pepper and parsley, while molokhia, lamb fatta and Egyptian macaroni béchamel offer comforting alternatives. Shish tawook, kofta and mixed grills extend the menu with smoky meat cooked for sharing.
Small plates and dips such as hummus, tahini, baba ghanoush and spicy potatoes allow diners to build a varied table. Rice pudding, konafa with cream, fiteer and Om Ali provide rich traditional finishes. Fresh orange juice, fruit smoothies, karkadeh hibiscus tea and aromatic coffee with cardamom complement the food and reinforce the restaurant’s Egyptian identity from breakfast through dinner.
