🇪🇬[Cairo] Cairo's Soul Food, the Legend of El-Tahrir Koshari

#OverseasTravel #Egypt #Cairo #Koshary Koshary El Tahrir is no longer just a restaurant; it's a leading franchise brand spread throughout Egypt. Founded in the 1950s, it began as a small street stall in central Cairo, but now boasts locations throughout the capital and in major cities like Alexandria and Luxor. The secret to its popularity lies in its consistent taste and reasonable prices. A bowl of koshary is a harmonious blend of warm rice, pasta, lentils, and chickpeas, topped with crispy onions and a generous spicy tomato sauce. The sauce, known as El Tahrir's secret recipe, delivers a distinctly rich flavor unlike any other koshary. The restaurant is always bustling with activity. Uniformed staff bustle about, and long lines of customers wait for takeout and delivery orders. Tourists cite El Tahrir Koshari as a "must-try dish when visiting Egypt," while locals consider it a "familiar taste from childhood." El Tahrir Koshari is now an iconic Egyptian brand, embodying Cairo's identity, a city where tradition and modernity coexist. A single bowl of Koshari captures the essence of Egyptian history, warmth, and the vibrant energy of its streets.
