Aish Baladi exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Aish Baladi made with real commitment to coriander seed and technique. The earthy and warming result was more complex and satisfying than anything I'd had before.

koshari is considered the national dish representing the multicultural influence on Egyptian cooking. The a traditional Egyptian koshari shop was exactly right for this kind of eating. Egyptian Stella beer was offered as the natural choice and it elevated everything. When a dish you thought you knew surprises you completely, that's worth celebrating. Five stars without hesitation.
