"African cuisines have been gaining attention in Sydney; consider the diners enjoying jollof rice from Little Lagos and generous spreads of Ethiopian stews and injera at Gursha as proof. At Cairo Takeaway, you’ll see them enjoying platters of grilled meats, pickles, bread, and fried cauliflower. Some people are drawn by the falafel, which is deep-fried and bright-green with mashed broad beans, but the eatery showcases other foods of Hesham El Masry’s heritage as well. Koshari, the rice, pasta, and spiced tomato specialty that’s Egypt’s national dish, is topped with a glorious pile of caramelized onions, and is a must-order." - Lee Tran Lam
