The food has already been discussed here so I'll just share my experience. It was initially a challenge to find a worker who spoke english but this is how the system works: you order either the koshary or the the special after you're seated and you pay at the table before leaving. Pretty simple! My wife is a really picky... More

Great Koshary place near the Egyptian Museum. We ate on the top floor. I think we could've gone with the standard koshary, but we got served the "special" which is about 2 LE more. The hot sauce is actually spicy, which was a surprise since food isn't that spicy in Egypt.

I have heard lots about this place before going to Cairo, and it does not disappoint! They only serve one dish, koshary, an Egyptian staple vegetarian dish. You must try it when in Egypt, and this place does it very well, and is very clean as well inside. Its only 8 Egyptian pounds for a small bowl, which is in... More
