I did not expect to like Egyptian food, but this was fantastic with all the sauces added in - very satisfying, quick AND inexpensive, without having to haggle (which is really a pleasure in Egypt).

The food has already been discussed here so I'll just share my experience. It was initially a challenge to find a worker who spoke english but this is how the system works: you order either the koshary or the the special after you're seated and you pay at the table before leaving.

Great Koshary place near the Egyptian Museum. We ate on the top floor. I think we could've gone with the standard koshary, but we got served the "special" which is about 2 LE more. The hot sauce is actually spicy, which was a surprise since food isn't that spicy in Egypt.

Every city or region is known for one or two very particular dishes. Well Cairo is famous for Abou Tarek's Koshery. Right downtown. The word may come from Hindi or Bengali .. Kitchoory. Basically its comfort food for Cairo. Noodles, rice, lentils, chickpeas, lemon, crispy onions, tomatoes sauce, chilli sauce... its a must must try. I have it at least... More

If you want to have Egyptian meals This is a perfect place for you I and my wife have two normal koshary. It's is delicious and just 14 Egyptian pounds for two Also we cost 3 egp for an vanilla pudding

Visited with our 2 kids who are both veggie and were fed up with bread and falafels. Go upstairs for the full effect of bling, fishes and fab air conditioning. Only one dish on the menu but koshari great for fussy kids as on the base of noodles, rice and bulgar you are given sides of tomato sauce, fried onions... More

Koshary just so good! Service a little terse however i will certainly return. I got quite confused over how to order...locals appear to settle at the counter i was told to sit and order from table

Their motto, "we have no other branches," should be accompanied by, "we only serve one dish," koshary, and it is great.

If you want to eat the traditional Egyptian koshry and you dont mind sitting in a crowded noisy place, you must visit Abou Tarek. best Koshary ever hands down
