A little store based around authentic street food of Egypt first opened in London in 2013 serving a selection of Egyptian street food classics, both savoury and sweet.
I have not seen or experienced many Egyptian restaurants in London and really should have more of these places in London as you will truly enjoy the food.
THE FOOD:
Classic Koshari (Classic Base, Tomato Sauce, Chickpeas, Garlic Da’aa Dressing, Fried Onions, Spicy Doqqa Nut Mix) - Pot of rice and pasta with a nice zesty and spiced tomato sauce. From the website it seems this is a national dish, sold on roadside stalls and restaurants throughout Egypt, captures the heart of the nation. Well I can’t wait to go to Egypt to see how authentic this is. But a great fresh taste with enough spice and kick and full of flavour and texture.
THE VERDICT: An impressive little place to eat and enjoy the various pots on offer, the food is delicious and nutritious and you cant say that with a lot of food these days. I want to go back and try the other dishes and would be top pick for a quick bite amongst the many of the usual offerings from the chain restaurants. Highly recommended. There should be more Egyptian places to eat and I for one will be looking into this more.
We got a chance to try the Egyptian cuisine at the borough market. We tried the medium bowl of koshari combo which was koshari and balati salad. Salad with a tasty twist is what I would call it. It was a bowl of lentils, freshly cut salad, dressings and lot of condiments like fried onions. It had a lot of flavor. It had a very interesting taste and would love to eat it again.
This place is definitely worth a try, it's vegan, its healthy. If you love to try different cuisines, small portions like these is good.
This place is certainly worth a try. They have customised authentic Egyptian dishes. I ordered Koshari medium bowl. It contains lentils, rice and pasta added with sauce and fried onion. This all mixed together is really healthy but due to it's garlic sauce and the spice powder( the name I don't remember), one might not like it one go! But this place you should go if you a person who likes trying new cuisines.
