ELMENUS* Charge (What It Is + Is It Legit?)

When Elmenus processes food delivery payments through its platform in Egypt, the billing system automatically appends an asterisk after the merchant identifier, resulting in the truncated descriptor "ELMENUS*" appearing on your bank statement rather than the full company name. This formatting is a standard convention used by payment gateways operating in the Egyptian market, where the asterisk acts as a separator that would typically be followed by an order reference or transaction code, though many banks display only the merchant portion. If you recently ordered food through the Elmenus app or website and see a charge of around 80 EGP, the "ELMENUS*" entry is simply how their payment processor identifies the transaction on your statement.

No, this is a legitimate charge from Elmenus. However, if you did not authorize this charge or cancelled your subscription, you may be eligible for a refund.
