Koshari

I’ve never had Koshari before and loved it. The fava bean plate was good too - the peta bread was made in house. We got to try some pomegranate molasses mixed with tahini on their home made peta chips. It was so darn good that purchased a bottle of molasses and tahini (both products from Lebanon). Don’t be confused by the signage out front that says Salt and Sugar

I loveeeee this restaurant SO much. I'm from Pakistan and I've tried koshari at quite a few places, but theirs is honestly one of the best I've had in town. And OMG… the Fattit Hummus is to die for. Like seriously. Anytime one of my roommates says they're going to Koshari, I'm immediately like, "Yayyyyyy!!!!!! Pleaseee get me Fattit Hummus" --- it's just so good. Honestly, my mouth is literally watering just writing this. Haha! It's easily one of my favorite spots, and they have sooo many great vegan and vegetarian options too. I've also ordered from them on DoorDash a few times (a little pricey for delivery, not gonna lie), but if you do order, definitely ask them to pack the pita chips separately so they don't get soggy on the way. Honestly though, going in and eating it fresh is even better. I also recently tried their tahini/date bar (not sure it's exact name) and it was so delicious. This place never misses. I wish I took a photo or two, but you can find photos of their offerings in other reviews and on their website. I almost didn't want to write this review because I lowkey want to keep it a secret and not have it get too crowded… but the staff is always sooo friendly and kind that I genuinely want to see them thrive and get all the love they deserve!

Koshari is an absolute gem, hidden inside of the daytime Salt and Sugar cafe. The food is truly authentic and bursting with flavor, and clearly made with much love by the couple who owns it. We had a lovely conversation as she explained the different dishes, and her passion for her culture and cooking clearly shone through. They make everything from scratch, (including their fantastic hot sauces!), and most dishes are vegan friendly. The atmosphere was quiet and cozy and perfect for a casual date night. I rarely write restaurant reviews, but I loved everything about Koshari and truly hope it succeeds. :) I would truly recommend and can't wait to go back!

My husband and I tried Koshari for the first time this evening and it was a fantastic experience. The Koshari was really delicious and can be seasoned to taste with a choice of sauces. We also ordered their whole wheat pita bread was tasty. The owners/staff are so friendly and happy to answer questions. Koshari has a lovely, warm atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

We came by for dinner last week and I can’t stop thinking about it. This is truly a small family business and it shows in the warmth of the service and the atmosphere. I chuckled out loud when I read one of the reviews here that said they don’t recommend this place to people looking for vegetarian options. What?! Not only is all the food vegetarian but you can get a vegan version of almost everything including the baklava and the Fattit Hummus Bowl which is a yogurt bowl. Fattit Hummus Bowl was absolutely incredible. I’ve never had anything like it. I don’t know what type of vegan yogurt they use or if they make it there but I don’t think I’ve ever had vegan yogurt so tasty. The karkadeh (hibiscus tea) was also delicious! Absolutely wonderful food and lovely people. The only downside for us is that it’s far enough away we can’t go all the time. But perhaps it’s good for our wallet that we’re not in their free delivery zone. 😉😅

Had a wonderful experience eating here for the first time! The owners are so kind and sweet. I had their house special dish with lentils, pasta, chickpeas, rice, and crispy onions. It was delicious, filling, and made for great leftovers. They opened in the Fall and are a couple blocks off Market. Highly recommend this spot!

Tonight we tried Koshari(located in Salt&Sugar). It was so delicious and amazing service. We had Turkish coffee while we waited for our takeout food. Our takeout was delicious and flavorful (and everything was labeled so well for constructing at home)! 100% recommend.

Great Egytptian and Lebanese food! The owners are so kind and helped us with ordering. We got the Magmour (eggplant) and mudammas (similar to hummus) and both were incredible. Can't wait to return and try more of the menu!

Homemade freshness and taste that comforts you on a cold winter day. We got the lentil soup - it came with fresh pita chips. I make lentil soups all the time but this had a different ingredient (perhaps dried mint?) that elevated the taste to a next level! The chips are fresh - not store bought, I usually stay away from too much fried stuff, but I ate all of those We also got the Koshari bowl (I forgot to take a picture) - the owner educated us regarding the history of this dish going back all the way to Indian sailors who got the Indian dish 'Khichidi' with them. The Indian 'khichidi' then got altered by the Egyptians along with the French/Italian colonial influences to give us the Koshari that they serve in the cfe. A hearty meal it is! And healthy too. They serve it with house made cumin-lime-jalapeno water and house made hot sauce that adds to the yumminess! I am glad we stopped by this place. We will be regulars :)

Nothing negative to say! Really great flavorful food, friendly and quick service and an inviting space. The koshari and lentil soup were delicious and the rice pudding was my son's favorite! Worth a stop in for a quick dinner!

Stumbled upon this place, it's inside a bakery called Salt & Sugar and open at 3pm. I tried the Koshari bowl, Spinach fatayer and Fattet Hummus and holy cow- I was blown away! So flavorful, fresh and healthy. The vinegar/garlic sauce and chili sauce for the koshari were amazing. Highly recommend!
