Honest verdict on Aish Baladi — good but not exceptional

Aish Baladi here was solidly made — hearty and filling without anything to complain about. coriander seed was present and handled reasonably. But something was missing from the depth that this dish should have.

Egyptian cuisine is one of the oldest recorded food cultures, with accounts dating to pharaonic times. The a family home dinner atmosphere was pleasant enough. ayran was available and a good suggestion. For a reliable version of Aish Baladi this works. For an exceptional one, I'd keep looking. Three stars.
