Dumplings, dumplings, and - yup, you guessed it - more dumplings! It’s a round the clock endeavour for Maadi’s Hai Tian. A treasure trove of dim-sum delights, the hole-in-the-wall eatery is devoted to the authentic art of assembling the sizzling hot bites we all know and (not always for the sake of circumventing conjectures) love.

Stepping into the comforting world of Hai Tian owner Abo Ramadan’s handmade dumplings, one can’t help but feel at ease and right at home with this caring old soul. Having lived in Egypt since ‘98, Ramadan’s restaurant exudes the same love and passion he harbours for the delicacy he calls home.

Small yet mighty, and packing a flavourful punch, dumplings have grown to embody the same characteristics shaping the tentative realm of comfort foods. Their soft and squishy exteriors give way to an explosion of spice and soup that unabashedly urge consumers to inhale entire platefuls of the warm delicacy - but who cares? It’s not the journey, it’s the destination…right?

With veggie, beef, chicken, and shrimp options, Hai Tian is here to serve. So… you ready to satiate all your wonton kneads?<br>
