Holiday memory — Molokhia that transported me back

I first ate Molokhia on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the earthy and warming quality I remembered. molokhia leaves was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

Egyptian cuisine is one of the oldest recorded food cultures, with accounts dating to pharaonic times. It was the a traditional Egyptian koshari shop memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. mint tea was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
