Holiday memory — Feteer Meshaltet that transported me back

I first ate Feteer Meshaltet on a trip five years ago and have been searching for a version this good ever since. This restaurant finally delivered the subtly herbal quality I remembered. fenugreek seeds was handled correctly — something most restaurants here get slightly wrong.

koshari is considered the national dish representing the multicultural influence on Egyptian cooking. It was the a Cairo street stall at lunchtime memory that I was really chasing and this recreated it. Egyptian Stella beer was offered and brought the whole experience together. Some dishes are attached to a time and place. This one finally restored that attachment.
