Abou Tarek

Koshari Abou Tarek, Marouf, Qasr El Nil, Cairo Governorate, Egypt

Abou Tarek is a multi-level fast food establishment and is the most popular restaurant in Cairo serving Egyptian koshary, a local specialty made of rice, macaroni, lentils, chickpeas and crispy onions topped with spiced tomato sauce and garlic vinegar. If you’re interested in authentic, street-style Egyptian food, then koshary is a must-try and this is the place to do so! Abou Tarek is a good spot for a casual lunch.
