Honest verdict on Koshari — good but not exceptional

Koshari here was solidly made — hearty and filling without anything to complain about. cumin was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Egyptian cuisine is one of the oldest recorded food cultures, with accounts dating to pharaonic times. The a traditional Egyptian koshari shop atmosphere was pleasant enough. karkadeh hibiscus tea was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Koshari this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
