Paper-thin dough, stretched by hand and baked into a flaky, buttery pie — savory with meats and cheese, or sweet with custard, Nutella and nuts. The way it's made back home in Alexandria.
Mum Feteer is an Egyptian café in Astoria's Steinway community, dedicated to one iconic dish: feteer, the layered, flaky pastry-pie whose roots go back to Ancient Egypt.
Every feteer is handmade and stretched by feteer master Ahmed Saber, who learned the craft in Alexandria. Choose it savory or sweet, customize the toppings, and round out the table with Egyptian classics like hawawshi, macaroni béchamel and om ali.
A small, focused menu built around the feteer. Every savory feteer comes with green pepper, tomato, olives and cheese.
