I decided to try this eatery out in R House today. I got the National dish of Egypt with chicken. It was expensive if you ask me; $19 with tax. Not worth it at all. It was okay. Not my favorite. I will more then likely not return.

Street Bowl
Kimberly J.

I first tried Koshary Corner's small bites at a Yelp Elite and this was the first time ordering from them. I ordered a street bowl with white rice and chicken, and a side of pita. The food was ready pretty quickly. Everything tasted pretty good. The pita was warm and soft. The bowl was good also. The red pepper dressing and tzatziki brighten the taste of everything else. I really enjoyed my first dish from Koshary and will definitely be back.

I tried Koshary Corner in Remington for the first time this weekend, and wow. So delicious! I ordered the koshary bowl with tzatziki, red pepper sauce, and pita on the side, and it was honestly one of the most delicious meals I've ever had in my life. The flavors were layered and balanced perfectly, the rice and broth were deeply savory, the tart red pepper sauce added nice spice, and the creamy garlic and tzatziki sauces tied everything together. The combination of garbanzo beans and lentils gave the dish such hearty texture, and the onions on top (I can't tell if they're sautéed or fried) were absolutely delightful lol. I've never had Egyptian food before, and this experience completely opened my eyes. The portion was large (I only made it through half) and every bite was amazing. This is easily one of the best meals I've had this month. Excited to try more.

I ordered the Protein Salad with Musakhan Chicken, and honestly, I was really disappointed. It had so much liquid in it that it was basically a soup, not a salad. And to make things worse, I found a hair in my food. That was really gross and unacceptable. Definitely not coming back.

My friend Jen created this meme of me with my meal in the outside seating area of the food hall in October 2023.

I still remember how good the koshary was here a little more than two years after visiting a friend in Baltimore and she had traveled to Egypt previously. This was a memorable, delicious, and affordable eating experience!

Chicken Musakhan Bowl
Joshua K.

I recently went to Koshary Corner at R House with some friends on a weekend and had a great experience! While it took a little while for the food to arrive, the food was delicious. My friends and I split the hummus bowl with Impossible Kebab. The hummus was creamy and had good flavor, spice, and texture, and the Impossible Kebab had good heft. I got the chicken musakhan bowl for my main dish. There was lots of well cooked, seasoned, and spiced chicken, complemented by the pita chips, yogurt, and herbs. Koshary Corner is vegan- and vegetarian friendly, reasonably priced, and I would highly recommend for a good eat the next time you're in Baltimore!

Yummy Mediterranean bowl
Leigh D.

My first review of 2025! I was here on Sunday, July 21, 2024 with my girlfriend. We had a couple of events going on in Baltimore City on that hot Sunday in July. A few years ago, my friend who used to live in Baltimore recommended the R House food hall. R House has a wide variety of different cuisines. I feel like I might've gotten tacos in the late 2010's but honestly don't remember, I just remembered this food hall as a viable option. There's limited parking but better than no parking and remembered I parked on the street, but in 2024 I was lucky to get a spot at lunchtime. I told my girlfriend we should eat at R House since it was on the way to where we were going and was a cool place. We both settled on Koshary Corner as a Mediterranean bowl sounded good that day where you build in what you want such as the generous portions of chick peas, meat, etc. It was great, maybe not the very best I've had but it was up there. The price was slightly more expensive than comparable bowls, but it was above average. I didn't love the ordering on the screen only as I had a couple of questions, but I figured it out ok with the screen. Also, the issue I have with businesses that do this is that you can't use cash, which I don't like; even though I was going to pay with credit, it's the principle of it. There was a bit of confusion on how the order was happening, but took maybe slightly longer than it should've for but got a text although my phone was on silent so I was a minute late. We sat in the middle area of R House. There's a water station in the bar area with courtesy cups which makes things easier as I generally drink water with meals. Overall, in spite of a few negatives, I'd come back to Koshary if I'm back at R House.

Falafel Protein Salad

I slipped in after morning service looking for a quick bite and ended up finding a real hidden gem. I ordered the falafel salad, layered over a mix of romaine, spring greens, and arugula, topped with a bright cucumber-tomato blend, pickled veggies, and both the garlic and red pepper dressings. Everything was fresh, bold, and downright good. Top-tier flavor. I'll definitely be back.

Koshary Kids Kids Koshary Bowl
Brenda S.

I went to Egypt a few years ago and have been craving Koshary ever since and this place hit that craving right on the head!! I got just the kids size because I wanted a quick, healthy vegetarian friendly snack. The flavor was delish and I loved the quick, efficient service by the man running the counter. I cannot wait to come back and try more items on the menu! R house is one of the coolest places and I'm glad to see a diverse option like Koshary being here :) Great vibes!

No chocolates made with camel milk but good desserts

You've not had koshary??? The national dish of Egypt is delish! A carbo bomb for sure but tasty and veggie. Garlicy, tomatoey, with grains/pasta galore... I make mine at home with quinoa and black beans too but the key is the sauces and those fried onions! Ask for extra onions. This place is great and has options for ya. This is MY choice for upcoming birthday dinner. As a native New York transplant I am thrilled to have a couple of Egyptian koshary places to choose from ... this is one of the best. Now all we need is for a place to open near Annapolis. You will say "shukran" for my turning you on to this place

"Signature salad"

When they first opened I loved the food, but it has really gone downhill. The food has been pretty inconsistent and today was terrible. I ordered the protein salad with chicken, described as "Signature salad topped with your choice of protein, hummus, salata baladi (traditional salad onions tomatoes, parsley), pickled vegetables, tahini". I selected the "signature salad" option when choosing my greens, which is described as "tomatoes, arugula, onion, green and red cabbage, dill , mint and cilantro", I received shredded iceberg lettuce and some Sysco frozen crinkle cut carrots and cauliflower that were completely unseasoned. Literally none of the ingredients listed in the salad were in my dish, nor were there any pickled vegetables or hummus.

I love the relaxed atmosphere of R. House in the Remington neighborhood. I did a lap (as always) and meandered over to Koshary Korner (KK) and was greeted by Jagadeesh, a young man with an amazing smile #goals (lol). He was pleasant, professional, and helpful. Good Customer Service nowadays truly is a lost art but Jagoosh, here, has it mastered, in spades. I had a few questions which were quickly answered and I was off to the races. I opted to try the: Falafel and Fava Salad (Bowl): This is Koshary's 'Signature salad' topped with fava beans, falafel and salata baladi + hummus, pickled vegetables vinaigrette, tahini and aleppo pepper. I opted for extra falafel. As you can see from the images, the vibrancy of this salad was very appealing/ attractive. It was an eyegasm, of sorts (yummm-o!!). I always begin eating with my eyes... and this salad bowl did NOT disappoint. The flavor explosion was exactly as expected. The fave beans, hummus, and tahini added a creamy element. The pickled carrots, beets, and onion gave a fresh earthy toothsome crunch. The falafels gave the salad good weight with good flavor. This was a very filling salad. It took me two days to finish the salad. YUMMMM-O!!! Sauces for salad: 1) Tahini; 2) Avocado Lime 3) Garlic. All had great flavor. Combined... DELISH! TRIPLE WORD SCORE!!! Koshary Korner definitely deserves more of my attention... and yours! Make your way down to KK. You won't be disappointed.

On a Sunday evening just before 8pm, a friend brought me to King of Koshary to introduce me the…read moreeponymous Egyptian dish. At that time, the establishment only had a one other table occupied so seating occurred immediately. As I perused the menu, my focus landed on the tajins / stews. The ox tail, okra lamb, and cow feet tajins all looked delectable. I settled on the cow feet tajin ($20), served with rice. That arrived after about 10 minutes, piping hot in an earthenware bowl. Just looking at the glisten and the viscosity while spooning the stew, I could tell that the cow hocks had simmered long enough to melt and release collagen into the stew. The tendons came off the bone like the proverbial hot knife through butter. The stock proved rich in texture and flavor without overwhelming the palate. Whatever additional seasonings went into it enhanced the clear stock's savoriness without imparting a different direction to the palate. This epitomized the ostensible simplicity of a dish belying sheer time and effort to perfect a dish. As an aside, this sort of laborious effort resembled long simmered Cantonese stews that I grew up with. Hilariously enough, the only other occupied table was also an Arabic guy bringing his Asian friend along. Speaking of Arabic friends, my friend ordered the king koshary ($12) and had me try a bite. The texture contrasts of the varied grains, the crispy onions, and the savory tomato-based koshary sauce, seemed irresitible. I understood why it became a signature national dish.

This was my first time having Egyptian food and I decided to go all out. I have a friend from Egypt…read moreand he made a couple of great recommendations for me to try. I ended up ordering the King's Koshary (naturally), fetter with cheese and honey, golash with beef, hawashi, shrimpita with jalapenos, and the basbousa for dessert. Overall I was really pleased with everything. The koshary was definitely my favorite. Carb-heavy but delicious. I was a little bit concerned that it might not be filling because there was no meat, but I was so wrong. It was delightfully feeling and delicious. Especially with the red sauce on top. Amazing! The fetter was okay but I expected more cheese. It was also a little greasy. Not my favorite. The golash was nice and hearty. Generous portion of flavorful beef filling in between crispy, flaky layers of dough. Delicious. I wanted to like the hawashi more than I did. I think I probably would have if there was a little bit more filling. The little bit of filling it had was really good. Seasoned well with lots of flavor. But overall I found the sandwich to be pretty dry. I ended up dipping it in some of the red sauce that came with my koshary to make it a little bit easier to eat. The shrimpita was an easy win. If you like quesadillas you'll like this. It was essentially a flatbread, cheese on top, then shrimp and jalapenos. The basbousa was interesting. It had the texture of grits, but sweetened. I'm Glad I tried it, but it was not really my thing. I wouldn't get that again. All the food that I ordered lasted me at least 3 to 4 days. The portions were generous, the staff member who greeted me and handed me my food was friendly and gracious and welcoming. Overall it was a really wonderful experience. If I'm ever in the area I would definitely visit again

The restaurant is small, with a few tables indoors and additional outdoor seating. It was pretty crowded, but the service was efficient and well organized. Even during a busy weekend lunch hour, we waited less than 10 minutes for our food. After seeing their homemade chai featured on Instagram, I had to give it a try. It was spicy, complex, and wonderfully aromatic, with a gentle sweetness and a well-balanced flavor. It was far superior to the generic chai mixes you typically find at grocery stores or regular coffee shops. I ordered the Lebanese Bride, topped with labneh, za'atar, and fresh vegetables. The bottom crust was thin and crispy, while the edges were chewy yet light. All the toppings tasted fresh, and the flavors came together beautifully. The staff were all friendly, and the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. I also enjoyed the colorful wall decorations, which added to the charm of the place. I'll definitely be back to try more of their flatbreads!

The flatbread is cooked perfectly - it has a crispness on the edges, with a nice flavor. Each item was large and we each ate half and will have the other half later, probably for dinner. There are tables both inside and in front of this popular spot. We sat outside and it was very enjoyable. I told the person behind the register that it was our first time and she walked us through the menu, explaining several of the ingredients. We got a small side of shatta (I think that's what it is called), which is a chili pepper mix. Way too hot for me, but delighted my partner.
