    Amazing dish called koshary. This dish is an Egyptian favorite consisting of rice, noodles, tomato sauce, lentils, chickpeas, garlic sauce, hot sauce, and fried onions. It melds together so well and is extremely filling. This store has many sizes, and for 1 USD, you could be easily filled. If you are very hungry, the 18 pound size is more than enough. The 22 pound is enough for 2 meals. The sitting area upstairs is extremely small, so if you do takeaway, make sure you go to the register and order. Then, hand the guy making the food your receipt. He won’t make it otherwise, so be sure to do this or you will not get it. The food itself was spectacular, and this place gets a 5 star from me.

    Accidentaly we found this restaurant serving a cost efficient meal with rice, noodles, lentils and tomato sauce. Toppings are fried onions. Reminds me on the German dish in the south that is spätzle with lentils. Good food!

    Quick service place serving a local dish, Koshary. Tasty mix of noodles, rice, lentils and chickpeas with tomato sauce and fried onions. I went there for a late dinner around 10:30pm and the place was still lively. The staff we friendly and it seems that many staff members speak English. They offer bowls to eat in-restaurant and to go.

    Enjoyed so much had to come back. Both times sat upstairs and had to wait for seat - a sign of its popularity. I thought the koshari was delicious - and very cheap

    Non descript place. Walk through kitchen upfront to stairs and go up to dining area. Koshary for medium runs about 33 pounds or $1 USD. Few severs so get there their attention and order. Ask for more tomato sauce. Pay on your way out.

  • 5/5 Nisma O. 1 year ago on Google
    Limited seating area, quick service. One of the best tasting koshary places I’ve ate at so far. Cheap prices as well.

    15 for a large bowl of Koshary. It's the smallest one but enough for 1 person, the portions here are large!!

    If there is less than one star i would gave to them .. the unrespectful radical and fanatic management of this place has prevented a Christian woman and her child from eating inside the store because it's Ramadan and muslims are fasting so they shouldn't eat before they break their fasting !!!

    It was better before, now you get confectioned sauces, onion in plastic, plastic fork, tomato sauce is already preadded to koshari.

    In terms of value/calorie you’ll struggle to best this place in central Cairo. It was real nice to have some extremely spicy hot sauce for the first time in months! Overall it was a little plain to me but that could just be how Koshary is, the place is packed with locals and is good quality. Minus a star for no English menu but that doesn’t matter for 99.9% of the clientele. I’d go again 🤷‍♂️

    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

  • 5/5 Hasski 9 months ago on Google
    A very "unpretentious" koshary dine-in / takeaway restaurant, and extremely popular with locals. There is one item on the menu; Koshary! Different sizes and additions are available but the main attraction is great taste at a great price. Highly recommended

  • 3/5 Muhammad Tahseen H. 2 years ago on Google
    It's not bad, the lentils is roasted and dry, you can say on onion too. Best koshary is not Egypt, it is in Jordan where all the ingredients are mixed and cooked together so they will be flavored from each other

  • 4/5 Khaled E. 2 years ago on Google
    Don't expect a fancy dining experience. This is a true down to earth fast food restaurant but sells one of the best koshary meals you can get in Egypt. Always fresh, great flavors and super fast service. Take away or dine in.

  • 4/5 Rahma H. 2 years ago on Google
    My experience was very good. taste was perfect, the place is very clean, the prices are moderate and quantities were good. The place is just very small and crowded so maybe you will wait about 5-10 minutes to eat-in but you also can take-away.

  • 1/5 Luca S. 1 year ago on Google
    Unfortunately my koshary was spoiled, few hours i got this i had bad digestion and i vomited 🤢 for all the night, the food was poisoned... I will never go back there..

  • 5/5 Everett G. 1 year ago on Google
    A small clean local kashery near Tahrir square. Delicious!!! They serve one thing: kashery (pasta, rice, noodles, and onions). You can order the kashery with tomato sauce, lentils and chickpeas and onions: add hot sauce and vinegar. There is a small room upstairs with tables. Dinner is very inexpensive: roughly $1 US per person! (This is Tamar not Everett)

  • 4/5 Robert O. 1 year ago on Google
    I wanted to try koshary, a typical Egyptian food. If you are restricting your carbohydrates this definitely not for you. It has macaroni, spaghetti and rice. Whether this is the best place I don't know. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The ambiance is definitely "fast foo". Koshary is all they serve and the prices are very reasonable. For 1 person your cost should be less than 60 EGP.

    A famous food chain for Kushari in Egypt. Good place with a good standard. Kushari here is fine but the selection of deserts are not that much as other Kushari places.

  • 5/5 noka5730 3 years ago on Google
    If you want a clean place that makes awesome traditional Koshari, then this is the place for you. It's always busy, and you would have to wait for a bit before you get a place inside. Though it's definitely worth it ! The staff are very friendly and hard working. As soon as you get up, they would start cleaning the table for the next person to come and enjoy the experience.

    (Translated by Google) ((Abdel Khaleq Tharwat Branch)) Junk Experience ۔۔ Indeed, the one who said (the good man and not the rich) I entered and asked for a plate with 14 elves. I met them with Permo. The sauce is on the plate, even though I don’t want the sauce to be attached to the dish. And after that, the plate is so small, what is it all? !! What if the taste is sweet? If we said it is not something sweet, it remains necessary to be expensive But the taste is disgusting ۔۔۔ Even while I am outside I have paid and the rest of the cashier gives me a gin Beat and treat someone who forgot, and I say to him: “Stay a gin Very seriously. If you have the smallest kosher store in your area, it will be cleaner than this junk store And you feel that the one who offers you the dish with a feast for you on the tip will not see you money (Original) (( فرع عبد الخالق ثروت)) تجربه زباله ۔۔ وفعلا صدق اللی قال ( الصیت و لا الغنی ) دخلت طلبت طبق ب 14 جنیه ۔۔لاقیتهم بیرمو الصلصه علی وش الطبق مع انی مبحبش الصلصه تکون محطوطه علی الوش احب احط علی قد ما انا عایز ۔ وبعدین الطبق صغیر جداااا ۔۔علی ایه ده کله ?!! ماهو لو الطعم حلو کنا قولنا ماشی حاجه حلوه یبقی لازم تکون غالیه ۔۔لکن الطعم یقرف ۔۔۔حتی وانا خارج دفعت والمفروض الکاشیر یدینی الباقی جنیه لاقیته ۔۔ بیصلبط وعامل ناسی وانا باقول له ۔۔باقی جنیه ۔۔۔بجد بجد لو عندک اصغر محل کشری فی منطقتک هیکون انضف من المحل الزباله ده ۔۔۔وتحس ان اللی بیقدملک الطبق باصص لک علی البقشیش کانه ما بیشوفش فلوس ۔۔

    (Translated by Google) As of January 10, 2021 s13 pounds m18 pounds L22 pounds XL28 (?) pounds If you are a man with a lot of meals, it would be better to eat large. I had a small amount, so I bought a large and settled for two lunch and dinner. Chopped rice and spaghetti, chopped macaroni, chopped thin somen, lentils, chickpeas, stir-fried ground meat (or chopped falafel made like a ball of ground silkworm...) You can mix it with tomato sauce, chopped olives, vinegar sauce, and chili oil on a crunchy topping that doesn't know whether it's fried or fried in oil. The chili oil is slightly spicy. The taste is quite edible. The price and quantity were satisfactory and the taste was personally satisfied. It was good to have a variety of pasta and bean rice, so it was strong and varied in texture. (Original) 2021년 1월 10일기준 s13파운드 m18파운드 L22파운드 XL28(?)파운드 식사량 많은 남자분이면 라지 드시는게 좋을듯. 전 양이 적은 편이라 라지 하나 사서 점심 저녁 두끼로 해결했어요. 쌀과 스파게티면 다진 것, 마카로니 다진 것, 가느다란 소면같은 걸 다진것, 렌틸콩,병아리콩, 갈은 고기 볶은 것(혹은 누에콩 갈아 완자처럼 만든 팔라펠을 다진 것인지도...)이 들어가고요 기름에 마르게 볶았는지 튀겼는지 모를 바삭바삭한 토핑에 토마토 소스, 올리브 절임 다진 것과 그 국물로 보이는 식초소스, 고추기름 모두 얹어 비벼드시면 됩니다. 고추기름은 약간 매콤한 정도. 맛은 상당히 먹을만 합니다. 가격과 양은 만족 맛도 개인적으로는 만족했습니다. 갖가지 파스타와 콩 쌀이 있어 든든하고 식감이 다양한 것이 좋았습니다
