I'm in town for a conference. Found this place while searching for a vegetarian dinner that wasn't lettuce-based. Now, despite living in Brooklyn, I've never had Egyptian food so I wasn't sure what to expect.
It was very quiet when I went in. Everything is from Egypt, there's even a little streetcart thing. The owner is very friendly and welcoming without being intrusive.
The koshary was delicious; it's not much to look at but the flavors really meld nicely. I'm particularly fond of the fried onions but I only wish it came with a little bit more tomato sauce. Also, the small portion is actually rather large. If you're planning on eating other things I would suggest splitting it with someone. (Or you could just eat everything and go take a nap)
The falafel was also pretty good.
If I ever find myself back in Montreal, I'll be sure to stop by. I want to check out the foul and babaghanoush.
