The staff is attentive and the food is DELICIOUS! The price is super reasonable and they are not looking to increase the prices for tourists! I recommend with my eyes closed! Thank you ☺️
Found this on Happy Cow. Wanted to try Koshary. It was delicious! The waiter who helped us was so friendly and helpful. The upstairs seating area looks out over the busy street below It was great!
Traditional Egyptian food. 'Koshary'. A combination of pasta, rice, lentils and chickpeas. Additionally, in the bowl next to it, there is a sauce resembling with minced tomato soup. Fried onion served in colorful bags. Don't force it, if you can't eat something, it is listed next to it so you can choose how you eat your dish. Very thoughtful. When in Cairo, you must come here. We've eaten other koshary in other places but this one definitely wins. The service was efficient, friendly, incredibly smiling and speaking English. The waiter will come up and ask you what you need with a wide, sincere smile. The prices are reasonable and the food is delicious. The atmosphere of the bar is pleasant and local. Quick service style with a restaurant area on the floor above the kitchen. We felt healthily full. We came back a few more times and each time we took more King portions to go. On Google maps it is in a different place. It's actually across the street. If you look around you will definitely notice it. Impossible to miss
Koshari is Egypt's national dish of pasta, rice, lentils, fried onions, chickpeas, and tomato sauce. It's a popular street food and traditional staple of Egyptian cuisine. We had to give it a try, and it was a pleasant experience all around.
Some friends from Egypt recommended me to try this local dish. Although it doesn’t look very appealing but the food was tasty and filling. Portion sizes are huge and prices are very cheap. The place was very busy but we didn’t have to wait for a very long time.
