? EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Koshari gets glamorized at Ward: While this may possibly be the most expensive koshari you’ll ever have — the medium plate will set you back EGP 85, and the large EGP 110 — you can tell where the extra bills are going. The store’s design and packaging has spared no expense. The salsa and daqqa packets aren’t packets, but easy to use (and to reseal) tubes, and the ingredients are fresh.

We don’t need to tell you what to order at a koshari place. Usually. But Ward offers something we haven’t seen before — Koshari balls. This on-the-go appetizer is similar to arancini — fried minced beef with mixed cheese — but uses Egyptian flavors to complement the main dish. While the coveted crunch factor is there, the filling is quite dry. Luckily, it comes with sauce on the side.

That’s not all there is to the restaurant. Other Egyptian classics you can indulge in are their Alexandrian liver plates — or order the liver pasta, if you’re feeling adventurous —, besara, and beid midahrag. Rice pudding is the ole reliable for dessert, but they also offer helw ward, a pudding topped with caramel sauce.

Not feeling the menu? You can find more western dishes to munch on, like jalapeño poppers, garlic bread, and pasta bolognese.

WHERE TO FIND THEM- This restaurant has popped up in two locations around C-Town: Madinaty and Arabella Plaza, and is available on Talabat for New Cairo residents. You can also call their number on their page.
