Description

Egypt's iconic national street food, Koshari is an extraordinarily satisfying vegan bowl layered with rice, brown lentils, and macaroni, topped with chickpeas and crispy deep-fried onions. Finished with a fiery spiced garlic-tomato sauce and a tangy garlic-vinegar cumin drizzle (Dakka), this dish offers a complex symphony of textures and flavors. It is a hearty, budget-friendly meal that showcases the vibrant culinary heritage of Cairo.

A Taste of History

Originating in 19th-century Egypt, Koshari was created by combining ingredients from Indian, Italian, and Middle Eastern culinary traditions into an affordable street food classic.
