"Egyptian restaurant Kushari & Grill features a fully halal menu, owner Mohamed Hassanein told Eater in late 2021 upon opening the restaurant in Medford. A native of Alexandria, Egypt, Hassanein previously ran the Mr. Kushari food truck in Boston’s Fenway neighborhood. Located right by Tufts, Kushari & Grill serves the namesake koshari, a popular street food in Egypt; hawawshi, dough stuffed with a spiced mix of ground beef, onions, bell peppers, and parsley; shawarma; kebabs; and more. Try the spicy falafel roll-up." - Erika Adams, Rachel Leah Blumenthal
