Kosharie

I was excited to find this Kosharie shop in Madison. The owner was friendly and the food was fast. I inhaled my meal of chicken shawarma and I took a kosharie and a baklava to go. Highly recommend if you are craving authentic Egyptian food.

We were very excited to try this “New” Mediterranean restaurant in town and today we had the chance to go and dine in. The menu looks very good and the photos in their website made my mouth watering. But, we are very disappointed. The dine-in experience was terrible. The place is dirty looking and not appetizing. A big TV was plying the 6 o’clock news with videos of the killings in Ukraine, alternated by drug advertisements. I asked if they have another channel less violent and they ignore my request. But we were there for the food, so we ignore the Rusian terror and the readings of drugs side effects on the loud television and ordered food. Beef Kabob, Egyptian Kosharie, Tabbouleh and Falafel. What can go wrong? My companion said that the falafel was the best in town, and she knows her falafel. I made the mistake of looking at the supper old oil they were frying the falafel in, and did not have the same opinion. The kabob came in a bed of rice and over cooked vegetables. Nothing like

First time having Kosharie, how did I go all this time without ever trying this DISH. It's a simple vegetarian delight with tons of flavors. It's a tiny place with loads of charm.
