Koshari



The staple of Egyptian cuisine.  Easy to make and available everywhere. Its piled high of elbow macaroni, lentils, chickpeas (hummus as the Egyptians call them), fried onions, pouring over tomatoe sauce (salsa as Egyptians call it), and splashing garlic vinegar for its last touch.
Koshary originated from India. Egypt adapted it from rice to macaroni noodles, but everything else is the same as the koshary in India. It originated in Egypt back in the mid-19th century. 

Koshari fills the belly in one bowl serving. You will not feel anymore hunger and if you do have a pocket of space in your stomach El Kodwa restaurant, they offer wonderful desserts.
El Kodwa restaurant has kind and quick service.  Before the main dish of koshari arrives to your table,  all the condiments are placed in front of you. Freshly baked pita chips, pickles,  tomato salad,  extra fried onions, and extra chickpeas. 

This small in hole El Kodwa restaurant is located in Al Dokki area. I have had many different koshari meals, but by far this is my favourite place to get the famous taste of Egypt.
