Koshary King: Authentic Egyptian Cuisine in Columbus, OH

Koshary: A new dish to me and one that has fun textures that all come together well. The sauce is subtle with a solid flavor, their hot sauce adds a very nice touch Egyptian Rice Pudding: best rice pudding I've ever had! So good and not too too sweet. I want more

Hang out on Summit and enjoy some flavorful middle eastern food. We loved the falafel sandwich and the flavorful thick grainy hummus. Friendly owner. Did I mention the excellent baklava? We went back to buy more.

Never had anything like the Koshery, with its pasta, chickpeas, tomato sauce, fried onions, and spices. But I particularly enjoyed the chicken over rice and the unique, lemony sauce. My 10 year old daughter loves both of them. We will be going back. Wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

Absolutely Delicious! The chef/owner told me everything is homemade and you can taste the love! My wife and I have both had the chicken with rice and meat (steak) with rice, along with the baba ghanouj and baklava. Portions are plenty and everything is seasoned so well! The owner is also very sweet and nice to talk to. I'm definitely planning to be a regular here!

Very delicious! In the area for a wedding, looking for food after driving all day, and I noticed the Koshary King food truck two minutes away from our place. We ordered a Koshary, falafel, and hummus, and it was the perfect meal! I highly recommend this place, and there is something for everybody (plant-based friendly).

If you’re looking for an authentic and budget-friendly koshary experience in Cairo, Koshary King is a solid choice. This local eatery serves Egypt’s beloved national dish—a hearty mix of rice, lentils, pasta, chickpeas, and crispy fried onions topped with tangy tomato sauce and optional spicy chili. The portions are generous, the flavors are well-balanced, and the food is served fresh. While the restaurant doesn’t have a fancy setting, it delivers exactly what you’d expect from a classic koshary spot: quick service, simple yet delicious food, and an authentic local vibe. However, like many casual dining places in Cairo, the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the area could be improved. The surroundings might feel a bit chaotic, and the streets often have litter, which takes away from the experience. But if you’re here for the food rather than the atmosphere, Koshary King won’t disappoint. It’s an ideal stop for travelers who want to taste real Egyptian street food without spending much. Just be prepared for a no-frills, local dining experience!

The food is great and the guy working was very friendly. He was helpful in explaining what the different foods are, since I have never had Egyptian food. I will definitely be eating here again!

been here twice in less than a week. this cute little food truck is very authentic in serving halal food. my first try I had the beef over rice, my second was koshary (vegan) - both were absolutely divine. the cherry on top I have to say is the constant genuine and stellar service. these people care to provide their utmost best, and it shows. I can't rave about this place enough. 1000000% worth going out of your way to try.
