Like El Tahrir, Abu Tarek serves only one dish: koshary/kushari which is a traditional Egyptian vegetarian dish made with chickpeas, lentils, tomato sauce, vinegar, fried onions, rice, and noodles (which is almost always vegan). The kushari at Abu Tarek is reportedly vegan, and your only choice when ordering is what size (small or large). Vegans ask about beverages. Open Mon-Sun 7:00am-10:00pm.

cheap and tasty - Edit
This is a great restaurant if you're looking for somewhere cheap, with quick service. The kushari is delicious and filling. You add your own garlic and chilli to the tomato sauce, so it's up to you how much kick the meal has.
Read moreThe choice is big kushari or small kushari - but at least there's no time wasted poring over a menu!
The central location makes this really handy, but be warned - it closes for the whole of Ramadan.
Pros: very cheap, filling meal, non-smoking
Cons: closed for whole of Ramadan

A lively & popular kushari joint in central Cairo - Edit
Opinions are divided as to whether Abu Tarek or its nearby rival, El Tahrir, makes the best kushari in Cairo, but either way you're in for an authentic treat. It's best to arrive hungry, as kushari is quite filling (and can feel a little heavy for some). If in doubt, start with a small order.

Cons: only one dish available
