The food and hospitality are second to none. Every. Single. Time. Sahar and her team are pros and you will never be disappointed. Now what are you waiting for? 😀

Koshari Mama is a restaurant that offers fabulous vegan food with a unique and tasty spin on traditional Egyptian cuisine. The restaurant has received positive reviews for its excellent service, clean and comfortable environment, and reasonably priced menu. Customers praise the welcoming and attentive staff, who go out of their way to make guests feel special. The mezze platter, which includes falafel (tameyyih), hummus, babaganouj, eggplant, and freshly baked Egyptian pita bread, is highly recommended. The falafel, made with fava beans and vegetables instead of chickpeas and parsley, has been described as phenomenal. The babaganouj and eggplant dishes have also received high marks, although the eggplant was noted to sometimes become a bit watery.
Many customers have highlighted their enjoyment of the Muhammara, which is considered incredible. The main dishes, such as the Koshari and Moussaka, have received positive feedback for their flavors. The Koshari bowl is particularly praised as the best outside of Cairo, while the Moussaka is noted for being flavorful and cooked just right. The restaurant also offers a pasta dish with tomato sauce, which was initially too salty but was promptly removed from the bill by the attentive staff.
Overall, Koshari Mama is praised for its vegetarian and vegan-friendly menu, excellent customer service, and comfortable atmosphere, providing a satisfying dining experience with a unique take on traditional Egyptian cuisine.
