Prepare yourself for a koshary experience so grand, it’ll leave you starry-eyed (and very full). Shatta Masria’s koshary is an Egyptian masterpiece, a massive bowl brimming with rice, lentils, pasta, chickpeas, and fried onions, all drenched in a zesty tomato sauce and a dash of tangy vinegar.
But here’s the kicker: this serving is gigantic. It’s built to feed an army (or six hungry friends) and is an absolute steal at AED 99. Whether you’re here to share or planning to claim it all for yourself, this koshary is the stuff of foodie dreams.
