Why dine here
Mum Feteer at 25-48 Steinway Street is devoted to feteer, Egypt’s many-layered round of stretched dough and fat. The kitchen folds and turns the dough repeatedly before baking, creating a browned exterior and a web of soft, flaky sheets substantial enough to hold fillings.
What to expect
Savory choices combine green pepper, tomato, olives and cheese with beef, sausage, pastrami or seafood. A mixed feteer gathers several meats into one round, while sweet versions use sugar and cream, custard, chocolate or nuts; the contrast between crisp pastry and soft filling defines both sides.
Before you go
Unlike a broad Egyptian grill, Mum organizes almost the entire meal around one technique, with pizza and small side dishes remaining secondary. NYC Tourism lists the current Astoria address, and a current merchant-managed ordering page shows active service, detailed categories and recent 2026 customer orders.
