Feteer Meshaltet exceeded every expectation

I went in with low expectations — I'd had mediocre versions before. What I found was Feteer Meshaltet made with real commitment to molokhia leaves and technique. The deeply savoury and spiced 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 family home dinner was exactly right for this kind of eating. karkadeh hibiscus tea 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.
