Review of Koshari at Fill a Pita (Delivery only) by ahmedmamer

This is probably one of those dishes one can eat without really thinking twice. Caution, it is carb loaded but light at the same time as the restaurant uses brown rice. The taste of Browne rice mixture with macaroni and spaghetti along with the lentils. On top, the spread of tomato sauce with sprinkles of fried onions with the garlic sauce really hits the spot for me. The owners said this dish has a fun historic fact behind it. Apparently it originated in the mid 19th century, during a time when Egypt was a multi-cultural country in the middle of an economic boom. It was based on foods from India such as khichdi (lentils and rice) and Italy (macaroni). Over time the dish has evolved through Egyptian soldiers, then Egyptian citizens.Kushari used to be sold on food carts in its early years, and was introduced to restaurants later. If you like to try vegetarian food that is not only plants based then this will be your best choice.
