๐ก Tips before you go
- Order the koshary extra spicy if you can handle the cumin kick common in this neighborhood's style.
- Ask for molokhia to be served with rice on the side if you prefer a lighter texture than the traditional thick greens.
- Save room for the baklava dessert, which is often sweeter than expected and pairs well with strong Egyptian coffee.
