Who Makes the Best Koshary in Q8?

By | December 13, 2010

I woke up this morning with the strangest craving ever… I was craving Koshary!

Not only plain old koshary… no no no it won’t do… i was craving koshary topped with chickpeas… something we do not have in Q8… this strange craving comes from reading Ansam’s Post about Koshary Abu Tareq!!!

What was i supposed to do now? People wake up craving toast biscuits croissant not Koshary! Koshary Jo7a make pretty good koshary and considering the horrible weather outside today i couldn’t drive all the way to Hawalli -i feared for my safety- so i went online and searched… apparently Koshary Taw El Lail that is being sold in Surra & Khaldiya co-op is supposed to be good.

So i drove there and got my self some… and some chickpeas as well… i put them together and tried the combo together… not bad but didn’t taste as good as i expected it to be…

The craving is still not satisfied… i must retry the combination from elsewhere! if you are a fan of Koshary do you know of Koshary place other than Koshary Jo7a that sells pretty good Koshary please?!

I can suggest two places that offer Koshari with chikpeas, at Kaifan co-op and Lulu Center. They are both extremely tasty

danderma on December 14, 2010 at 11:19.

you never did?!
Trust me, you have to try a very good one and you will be hooked! I would recommend leaving out the crunchy onions in your first trial… :)

shofay , when u find the best kushari just lead me and we’ll see from there :D

danderma on December 14, 2010 at 23:52.

Lool i would recommend Koshary Jo7a for you, without onions… taste el combination away without the tomatoe sauce then add a little bit on a spoonful o taste again… el burned onions ruin the thing… but i don’t know if the rest are better or not…

I read your blog and i absolutely love when you review food stuff….i dont speak arabic nor understand it so if u dont mind me asking where do u get this stuff, it looks delicious ?so where would be a good place to eat it in kuwait ?

danderma on December 17, 2010 at 12:27.

This dish -koshary- is a traditional Egyptian Dish… very low in fat and has different textures… usually it comes with a topping of crunchy fried onions that i don’t like and leave out but the combination of lentils, chewy pasta, starchy chunky rice, and crunchy onions with the sauce is amazing and so fulling!

Wait for my post today in about an hour or so about what i think is the best place to try it in Q8… this post’s experience is not that good…
