    Never had anything like the Koshery, with its pasta, chickpeas, tomato sauce, fried onions, and spices. But I particularly enjoyed the chicken over rice and the unique, lemony sauce. My 10 year old daughter loves both of them. We will be going back. Wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

    Koshary: A new dish to me and one that has fun textures that all come together well. The sauce is subtle with a solid flavor, their hot sauce adds a very nice touch Egyptian Rice Pudding: best rice pudding I've ever had! So good and not too too sweet. I want more

    The food is great and the guy working was very friendly. He was helpful in explaining what the different foods are, since I have never had Egyptian food. I will definitely be eating here again!

    I lived in Egypt for a year and fell in love with the food there, especially falafels. I was so excited to try this place out because of the amazing reviews. I was hoping that the food would taste at least somewhat authentic, and I was looking forward to introducing my husband to tasty Egyptian food since I've raved about it so much. We ordered the falafel sandwich and the koshary. Both dishes were nothing close to authentic and unfortunately neither was very enjoyable to eat. We were both disappointed. I'm so confused how the reviews are so amazing, including from some people that say they've eaten authentic Egyptian food. I've eaten food from an Egyptian restaurant in San Francisco, and while not exactly like street food in Egypt, the falafel was delicious. This falafel was nothing close to the flavor and texture of an authentic Egyptian falafel sandwich. The falafels didn't have the traditional amazing mix of spices and pops of flavor (true Egyptian falafels are made with fava beans instead of chickpeas, and have a mix of many tasty spices, including fennel), the tahini had the texture and taste of hummus, but with way too much cumin, the pita tasted like a cheap store-bought kind, and the overall texture of the sandwich was mushy, including the tomatoes. The koshary noodles tasted overcooked and the flavor of the sauce and the whole dish wasn't great. The owner seemed nice and looked Egyptian so I thought the food would taste authentic. I'm glad so many other people enjoy this restaurant so the owner can get good business, but I'll continue my search for an Egyptian restaurant so that hopefully one day I'll be able to introduce my husband to tasty and authentic Egyptian food.

    I am Egyptian and I do not recommend their koshary. I got my friends at work koshary from this place..it was not fresh especially the onions. I was so embarrassed.

    Quick and efficient. Hot sauce appears to be house-made. Koshary needed a little salt, but overall flavor was good.

    Prices are cheaper than advertised on Google! First time having Egyptian food, and it was delicious. Chicken over rice ($8) and Baklava dessert ($5) were both amazing.

    Can't believe we haven't found this awesome food truck sooner. Excellent food and service!

  • 5/5 Eric C. 1 year ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Absolutely Delicious! The chef/owner told me everything is homemade and you can taste the love! My wife and I have both had the chicken with rice and meat (steak) with rice, along with the baba ghanouj and baklava. Portions are plenty and everything is seasoned so well! The owner is also very sweet and nice to talk to. I'm definitely planning to be a regular here!

    Hang out on Summit and enjoy some flavorful middle eastern food. We loved the falafel sandwich and the flavorful thick grainy hummus. Friendly owner. Did I mention the excellent baklava? We went back to buy more.

    He is the Kings It's always a great meal here, especially with such a great owner

  • 4/5 Max C. 11 months ago on Google
    The chicken over rice had very good flavor but the koshary was quite bland and the lentils and chickpeas were overwhelmed by the shear volume of pasta and rice. The gentleman running the food truck was very nice and we got our food quickly!

  • 5/5 Sarah 1 year ago on Google
    I highly recommend the hummus and baba ghanoush. They are creamy, rich, and flavorful. If you have been getting grocery store hummus, come here instead! You won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Shelly I. 1 year ago on Google
    Koshary almost as good as from Egypt. I would like a spicier option. My daughter gets for me when she travels back home from Columbus.

  • 5/5 Richard H. 7 months ago on Google
    Delish Egyptian street food. Friendly owner, and you can taste the care put into it.

  • 5/5 Lucie M. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome flavor! Speedy service! In Columbus’ coolest neighborhood 😉

  • 5/5 Adam S. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing. Will need to update this review with photos after our next visit, as we ate everything too fast to get food pics this time around. Best falafel in town, amazing hummus, tatziki, desserts (we had the rice pudding, baklava AND kunafa). Truly exceptional.

  • 5/5 Tim W. 2 years ago on Google
    Incredible food. I'm only visiting Columbus from out of town and this falafel + hummus is fresher and tastier than anything else I've tried where I live in Seattle, which is a lot. I'll certainly miss it when I go back home. But in the meantime, I'll be back....

  • 5/5 Keihin R. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing food for the price!! I recommend the chicken halal and homemade hummus.

  • 5/5 Paul E. 2 years ago on Google
    If you want homemade food like an Egyptian mother would make for you in her home, this is the place! It is so good! Very good prices and portions.

  • 5/5 Luke H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious! In the area for a wedding, looking for food after driving all day, and I noticed the Koshary King food truck two minutes away from our place. We ordered a Koshary, falafel, and hummus, and it was the perfect meal! I highly recommend this place, and there is something for everybody (plant-based friendly).

  • 5/5 Logan H. 2 years ago on Google
    Not only does Koshary king provide amazing food, they are also amazing people. Their food truck is usually parked right by Hudson and Summit. amazing food. Amazing people.

  • 5/5 Meredith W. 2 years ago on Google
    Omg! I was so very excited to see authentic Egyptian food! This is it! Favor is phenomenal and I love it. So good.

  • 5/5 Yusif M. 2 years ago on Google
    I love there food. Great Egyptian Street food.

  • 5/5 Lesley G. 2 years ago on Google
    been here twice in less than a week. this cute little food truck is very authentic in serving halal food. my first try I had the beef over rice, my second was koshary (vegan) - both were absolutely divine. the cherry on top I have to say is the constant genuine and stellar service. these people care to provide their utmost best, and it shows. I can't rave about this place enough. 1000000% worth going out of your way to try.

  • 5/5 Dan P. 2 years ago on Google
    Got the falafel, koshary, and chicken and rice. All were really good, with the favorite being the chicken and rice. The rice and white sauce add a perfect zing to each bite. Rice pudding and baclava rounded out the meal. Enough for 3 adults and 2 kids.

  • 5/5 Joel M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great people and great food with a short wait. Very generous serving sizes and everything is fresh. One of my favorite places in Columbus!

    Ordered Koshari catering for 15 people. Everyone loved it! Food was tasty and fresh. The sauces were flavorful and delicious. Will definitely be ordering again!

  • 5/5 Mary K. 7 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I love koshary king! I had never tried Koshary before trying it here, and I love the flavors and textures that it brings together, not to mention it’s filling too! The messaka (marinated eggplant with peppers) with pita is one of my new favorites too - it’s so fresh and flavorful and brings a nice balance of acid and sweetness. Definitely recommend!
