Street Vendors in Columbus, OH

“If you’re looking for an authentic and budget-friendly koshary experience in Cairo, Koshary King is a solid choice. This local eatery serves Egypt’s beloved national dish—a hearty mix of rice, lentils, pasta, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions topped with tangy tomato sauce and optional spicy chili. The portions are generous, the flavors are well-balanced, and the food is served fresh. While the restaurant doesn’t have a fancy setting, it delivers exactly what you’d expect from a classic koshary spot: quick service, simple yet delicious food, and an authentic local vibe.

However, like many casual dining places in Cairo, the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the area could be improved. The surroundings might feel a bit chaotic, and the streets often have litter, which takes away from the experience. But if you’re here for the food rather than the atmosphere, Koshary King won’t disappoint. It’s an ideal stop for travelers who want to taste real Egyptian street food without spending much. Just be prepared for a no-frills, local dining experience!“

“This was our first time stopping at Lulubowls and found out is is a ghost kitchen. It is for pick-up or delivery. We ordered two bowls both custom with tofu. The order came out within 5 minutes. The bowls were good sized for the price ($15) and the toppings were fresh. My husband tried the vegan ranch and I had the sesame ginger vinaigrette. Both dressing were flavorful. Next time we will each order an extra dressing for the size of the bowl. Overall we give it a 4 star!“
