"I had such a great dinner at Koshari Mama last week. Food was fantastic, service was exceptional, and prices were shockingly cheap in this expensive inflation world we're living in lately. Koshari Mama is a vegan Egyptian restaurant which was a totally new experience for me. I'm a meat eater but I was completely satisfied and full when I left. I also don't know much about Egyptian food but love Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food so this ended up being a great fit. First up the mezze platter. Absolute star of the evening, cannot stress enough how good it was. You have to get the roasted eggplant and the falafel. The eggplant was so buttery and creamy and even the skin which can sometimes be quite tough was nice and soft. The falafel was delightfully dense and flavorful but not dry at all A+ falafel. Then you choose 3 spreads to go with it we did the baba ganoush, muhammara, and a yogurt dip. The muhammara in particular was amazing. I'd never heard of it before so if it's new to you as well, it's a roasted red pepper and pomegranate dip that cannot be missed. Seeing as the restaurant is named after it, we split the Koshari for our main dish. It's a massive plate of rice, chickpeas, crispy onions, and pasta, served with two super tasty sauces that you pour over the whole dish one was kind of like a spicy salsa, and the other had more of a vinegar flavor. All in it was wildly delicious even if it is probably the first time I've ever had rice and pasta together. We also split a bottle of wine and were shocked at how low the final bill was. I will absolutely have to come back and only wish I lived closer. Thank you for existing Koshari Mama!"
