i love this food - simple and nice!!! went twice. easy to locate. locals know this place...

We ate here during our day tour in Cairo because the restaurant had been reviewed and recommended by Anthony Bourdain on the Travel Channel. Note that it is not a fancy restaurant, it is a local restaurant. But it is clean and vegetarian, so relatively safe by local standards. Koshary is a traditional Egyptian meal of pasta, rice and lentils,... More

First time to eat koshary - and it was delicious! Ate on the top floor - just head straight up stairs and find an empty table. It seems to always be busy here. There's only one item to order, plus soft drinks and a desert. If you havent eaten koshary before..... There are three silver containers on each table: hot... More

This place has been serving the best Koshary in Egupt for as long ad I could remember (over 25 years). Not sure why the owner decided not to have other branches but they could print cash if they want to. Two thumbs up!
