Koshary El Omda

The other big koshari house, more modern and faster than Abou Tarek.

Budget

A chain born in Mohandessin serving koshari in-store and for delivery, with calibrated sizes and a visible production line. The dish is consistent from branch to branch, which is precisely what is asked of it.

The extra bit

Koshari is judged on its tomato sauce and fried onions: ask for "ziyada" of both.

Know before you go

Entirely vegan, like all koshari: the simplest solution in Egypt for anyone who does not eat meat.
