Customer Reviews
Family of 5 including a toddler came here for a Saturday dinner. The people here are some of the kindest people I have met at a restaurant. They really know how to value customers and other places can take lessons from them. They accommodated our request to change tables as the first table we were given was close to the wash area. We ordered eggplant fries, signature Koshari dish, Muhammara, cucumber mint dip, Falafel and Konafa for dessert. You should really like eggplant to be able to enjoy the fries because it’s a long thick piece of eggplant tossed in a batter and fried. The Koshari dish was also really tasty, something I have not had before - you can even mix with sauces they provide or other dips if it feels a bit dry. The muhammara felt authentic and the cucumber dip was a little ex
So amazing! The food is amazing and the atmosphere is so calm and friendly. Do not miss out on the falafel, they are the best I’ve ever had and the chocolate cherry cheesecake was amazing. Will be back very soon!!!💗💗💗
I'm sad to say not a great experience yesterday. Very cute place with nice people. However the foule did not really taste of much and the fattoush was plain. Served in takeout containers, but it seemed like an off day for them so no complaints there. My friend and I said if we had made this ourselves we would have been disappointed.
I don’t know what happened to my review from 3 years ago. This place is a rare gem. After returning from Cairo it was amazing to be able to have the beloved modern Egyptian phenomena of Koshari here in Boston. Been back many times and it’s always as good as the last. Note portions are larger when dining onsite. Takeout and delivery are smaller portions.
Dreamy---a plant based delight for the senses! This is my second trip and again I was a solo diner. I was treated to lovely falafel, balady bread, tahini, lentil soup, Egyptian tea, and bread pudding. Everything was fragrant and full of vibrancy like the wonderful restaurant and the warm and fun loving staff. I was lucky to meet the owner and literally dance my way out of the restaurant with a huge bag of food for tomorrow's meals. Thank you Koshari Mama, truly an oasis of hospitality on a cold, dark and rainy evening!!! Note: all food is plant based, many gluten free options.
