11 Must-Visit Restaurants in Cairo | Condé Nast Traveler

"While nobody would mistake Abou Tarek for a "fancy" or formal restaurant, it's an absolute must-visit for first-timers to the city, as well as a beloved purveyor of comfort food for locals. The restaurant specializes in koshari, the modern Egyptian staple that takes rice, lentils, and chickpeas, adds in macaroni and vermicelli noodles, and douses the entire combination in piquant tomato juice seasoned with lemon, vinegar, and chili. Abou Terek has been serving up the dish since 1935, growing into a bustling, multi-story establishment with an assembly line-like crew of cooks churning out loaded bowls seemingly by the thousands."

Koshary is the traditional dish of Egypt and this place definitely knows how to make it 😻 i tried it more than one time there during my stay in Cairo. Simple cheap and delicious 😍😍😍 the last time they added lentil soup in menu with fantastic presentation. It is inside bread colored up with vegetables. Well definitely one thing to recommend is do not leave the place without trying desert. I love their milky rice desserts 😁 Very fast service clean and helpful and kind waiters. Don’t forget to leave small tip to brighten up their days :)

Just the vibe of the place was exciting I was not a big fan of the food though. But loved the presentation of the food and the servers explanation of preparing the meal. The restaurant was full and we got seated on the topmost floor, it was a good exercise to prepare for a good appetite 😁 Rice pudding after the meal was good. Milk pudding was the same taste without rice.

The first thing people mentioned for typical egypt dish. Lot of carbo, various pasta n rice, with tomato based sauce. Not bad but just not what i personally prefer. Many people likes it tho.

This is not to missed when you are in Cairo. The service is great and the food is delicious. Only one dish they serve but it is worth coming to try. The soup with bread is huge, the taste is great! Don’t miss it when you are in Cairo!

Absolutely delicious! Highly recommended!! You must try this and definitely should go there if you visit Cairo. Koshary was amazing and very generous portion. The waiter helped us with seasoning the koshary and with how to eat the soup that actually comes inside a large brown bread. We also had a dessert which was creamy rice with milk topped with cinnamon, children loved it! adults too. We had to order two more 🤣 all very good and very healthy too. Not meat here, vegetarians around, that's the place to visit. Staff speak English and make you feel very welcome! Very traditional, yet delicious dish. Was a Big surprise for us, much more than just pasta or rice, a real experience! I do not even mention the very cheap prices..just go and try, you'll love it.

Loved the experience. Hearty, fulfilling meal at a great price. The server was warm and helped us in understanding how to eat Koshary. The serving time was quick, and the dish in itself was delicious.

My first koshary experience was amazing, I didn’t expect to like this dish, I can highly recommend Koshary Abou Tarek, their lentil soup in bread was fantastic, very friendly staff, they explained us how to eat koshary correctly, we visited this place twice during our stay in Cairo, and also tried their rice milk pudding - everything was delicious 👍🏼 I’ll definitely come back 🫰🏼
