About Koshari Korner

Marrickville gets an all-plant-based ticket to Cairo street food, layering spiced comfort into every hearty bowl. Rice, macaroni, brown lentils, and chickpeas come heaped beneath rich tomato salsa and a shatter of crispy fried onions. The kitchen fries proper Egyptian taameya—crunchy fava-bean falafel tucked with warm flatbread and tahini—alongside slow-cooked shakshouka and almond-topped eggplant. Diners gather under glowing lanterns for share plates, cooling off with carob juice or hibiscus iced tea.

  • Hearty Koshari Bowls: Bowls layer rice, macaroni, brown lentils, and chickpeas under spiced tomato sauce and crispy fried onions.
  • Egyptian-Style Falafel: Made traditionally with fava beans instead of chickpeas for a crisp crust and tender herb center.
  • Specialty Street Drinks: Features chilled carob juice, hibiscus iced tea, and rose water hot chocolate.

  • Unique Cultural Teas and Specialty Drinks

    Meals are complemented by specialty Egyptian beverages, including floral infusions, carob juice, and cold-brewed hibiscus iced tea.

    A standout for me was the rose water hot chocolate. It was unlike anything I've had before – rich, smooth and perfectly balanced with the delicate floral flavour of rose water.

    We started with their falafel, which was perfectly crispy on the outside and wonderfully moist on the inside, bursting with flavor.

  • Mixed Plate

    I had the mixed plate - which I highly recommend. You get to try various different options: some salad, Aubergine with toasted almonds, the most delicious falafel with bread and Tahini and Koshari.
