"Abuqir is similar to Astoria Seafood, with a few key differences: it’s Egyptian, and there isn't much seating. If you’re making a decision between the two based on food alone, you should know that it’s slightly better here. This Astoria spot makes incredible grilled shrimp, Egyptian-style whole fish, and olive oil-soaked baba ganoush. The room is bright, with a handful of tables, and it’s as casual as it gets." - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja
