Kebdet Alfallah is a veteran liver-sandwich shop on Al Horreya Street near Misr Station, with a history tracing back to a street cart operating in the area since the 1920s. Like other kibda counters in Alexandria, it specializes in kibda eskandarani, thin-sliced fried liver cooked to order with garlic and chili and served in fresh bread, alongside a liver-and-pepper sandwich and a spicy tomato liver stew for those who want it served over rice rather than in a sandwich.

Kebdet Alfallah is a veteran liver-sandwich shop on Al Horreya Street near Misr Station, with a history tracing back to a street cart operating in the area since the 1920s. Like other kibda counters in Alexandria, it specializes in kibda eskandarani, thin-sliced fried liver cooked to order with garlic and chili and served in fresh bread, alongside a liver-and-pepper sandwich and a spicy tomato liver stew for those who want it served over rice rather than in a sandwich. The setting is informal and functional, a working counter with a handful of stools rather than a designed dining room, and the atmosphere is loud, fast and thoroughly local, with a steady flow of customers grabbing a quick meal near the train station. There is no wine or cocktail list; tea and soft drinks are the standard order alongside the sandwiches. A meal costs roughly EGP 40-110, keeping it accessible for everyday eating, and the shop's daily hours from 11am to 2am make it a dependable late-night option in the area around Misr Station. Reservations are not accepted, in keeping with its walk-up, fast-turnover format, and the shop's decades of continuous operation have made it one of the reference points for kibda in the city, often mentioned alongside Kebdet El Prince as a rival for the best liver sandwich in Alexandria.
