Flaky Feteer with Sweet and Savory Fillings in Astoria
Fresh Egyptian pastry brings crisp layers and generous portions to a casual neighborhood stop.
🥧 Crisp Layers, Two Ways
Mum Feteer bakes Egyptian feteer until the outside turns crisp and the inside stays soft, then packs each pie with sweet or savory fillings. The dish often gets compared to a loaded Egyptian style pizza, and while the menu does carry standard pizza, the feteer is the reason to walk into this Steinway Street room.
The savory mixed feteer arrives heavily stuffed with meat, and other versions come layered with melted cheese. Portions run substantial, and a single order is large enough to share across the table. Everything is prepared fresh, and reviews point to friendly service and a welcoming, high energy neighborhood atmosphere around the tufted gray banquettes.
The kitchen opens at 2 PM Tuesday through Sunday and runs until half past eleven PM, with the shop closed on Mondays, which makes it an easy late dinner in Astoria for the rest of the week.
