Love to see it - Edit
Took us awhile to try this place since we don’t get out to Ballard often. It was inside a bakery, so it was a little hard to spot. It’s a vegetarian place but they can make most things vegan. Menu isn’t marked, so you’ll need to ask. They’re very friendly and happy to make recommendations. We tried the Ful Madames plate, lentil soup, spinach fatayer, and an eggplant dish. We wanted to try their hummus but they were out. Everything was good! I highly recommend the Ful. And do not sleep on their baked goods. If we ever come back we’d like to try the hummus bowl with garlic yogurt (which they can make vegan with cashew yogurt).

Super yummy cozy food - Edit
This restaurant was such a great find! The food was so good in a comforting homemade kind of way! We had a Lebanese Fattit Hummus (with vegan yogurt), a koshari bowl, and a side of Maghmour. The side dish was incredible... The staff were super nice too, and happy to explain things.

Best new restaurant I've tried in a long time!!! - Edit
So wonderful in so many ways. The food is so comforting, tasty and nourishing. My favorite is the Koshari. The family was so nice and helpful to let us know which things are vegan or can be made vegan. They can substitute plant-based yogurt for some of the dishes that contain yogurt. If I lived in Ballard, I'd be here all the time.

Deeeeelicous - Edit
Koshari is Egypt’s national dish + this was my first time trying it + ooooh, it won’t be my last. A wonderful mix of flavors + textures. (If you’re getting takeout, ask them to pack the fried onions separately so they stay crispy.)
Read moreI also tried the foul medammas sandwich + it has a nice tang. Cheap af too! If I lived closer, I’d be getting it on the reg.
Pros: flavors galore, friendly people
Cons: the criminal hot sauce could be more hardcore

Delicious and friendly! - Edit
A small family-owned joint (signage is limited, but it's in the same space as Salt & Sugar Cafe), many of the dishes are vegan, but not all. The owners are incredibly friendly and were so excited when we stopped in, I hope if more vegans go they will veganize the whole menu. The foul medammes was delicious, as was a spinach pie we got, and the portions are a great size for the price. None of the desserts (baklava, rice pudding, cookies) were vegan the night we visited, hopefully that changes.
Read morePros: Delicious food, Friendly owners, Great portion sizes for the price
Cons: No vegan desserts, Not a fully vegan menu, Limited signage
Koshari
Hello and thank you for your review. We love to read more on what our customers and community think. Now our menu can all be vegan as the only bowl that was vegetarian (Lebanese Fattit Hummus) is now available in vegan (Cashew Yogurt!).
Read moreFor desserts, it’s worth mentioning that we now have Sahlab, a hearty velvety hot drink that comes with flavorful goodness! Stop by sometime and try it 😊
