    Adobo balls with jicama slaw
    Meaghan P.

    Absolute favorite food truck in Ottawa, everything I've tried from them is delicious. The service is good and fast and the prices are reasonable. They have a little area you can eat at next to the truck, their hours and location make them very accessible.

    My bestie and I went here last week. It's a nice Filipino food truck. The food is great, the staff is very nice. We even met some Filipino customers who described the food and even allowed us to have some of theirs. We will come back here for sure:)

    This was our first time having Filipino food and it was delicious! The Adobe balls were especially tasty.

    Egyptian Corner - Rice pudding $5

    TL;DR/The Short Version: Food truck serving Egyptian street…read morefood. The Koshary was great. The rice pudding was the best rice pudding I've ever had in my life! The Long Version: I learned about Egyptian Corner on Reddit. I do not know of any Egyptian restaurants in Ottawa as of the writing of this review. Once upon a time there was the Pharaoh's House on Rideau, which I tried and liked, but they have long closed down. Then Vardera Cafe and Lounge out in Stittsville served an Egyptian menu on certain days of the week, but I never got the opportunity to try their Egyptian food before they also closed down (their regular menu was great, so I was really disappointed they didn't last). So I was really stoked to hear there was a food truck serving Egyptian street food. The first time I had Koshary was at La Folie du Koshary in Montreal on St Mathieu (it too has closed down) and I loved it! I also had Om Ali for the first time there too. It was 8 years ago and I still dream about that Om Ali. I was hoping to get the same things at Egyptian Corner. They had Koshary, but didn't have Om Ali (bread pudding) but had Roz Bel Laban (rice pudding) instead. Let's just say I am now dreaming about the rice pudding at Egyptian Corner! The Koshary ($8) was a good size and served in a paper bowl. It had pasta (spaghetti, macaroni and ditali), rice, lentils, and chickpeas in a tomato-based sauce and was topped with crispy fried onions. It was so delicious. My husband and I shared it, but I easily could have had my own, lol. It came with 2 sauces in small solo cups, a yellowish garlicky water and a red oily emulsion. I didn't use either because I thought it was tasty as is and I didn't want it oily or too wet. My only complaint is that the Koshary was not hot, it was room temperature. It would have been next level tasty if it was hot. The rice pudding ($5) also came in a paper bowl, albeit a smaller one than the Koshary. This rice pudding is the best rice pudding I've ever had in my life! It was so creamy and not too sweet. It was topped with a scoop of Ashta and sprinkled on top was crispy vermicelli and crispy phyllo pastry pieces. Omg! So tasty. I now have another dessert to haunt dreams. Lol. Luckily the rice pudding was chilled and not room temperature. Service was courteous and quick. The food truck is parked on the Jiffy Lube lot at Bank St and Riverdale Ave. They have a few tables and chairs immediately in front of the food truck if you want to eat on-site. We took it to go and ate it while walking along Bank St. Their menu is small. They have Falafel sandwiches and Fava bean sandwiches in addition to Koshary and the rice pudding. I cannot recommend this place enough! If you like Egyptian rice pudding or Koshary, or want to try it, you need to try Egyptian Corner. Thank you random stranger on Reddit for posting about this new food truck! (169)

    Update time!!! I honestly wasn't too impressed with the tacos I had last time I was here , but this…read morefood truck is now under new ownership and a new chef, so I had to give it another chance. The menu is a lot simpler, and they are just selling tacos, churros, chips and gauc and some drinks. The hubby and I both got a set of 4 tacos each and a side of churros. I ordered 3 fish and one vegan, but they packed in a beef one instead. I don't eat beef, so my loss, and hubbies gain. The hubby got a fish, jerk, beef, and pork. He loved them all, but was meh about the beef, as it was not as colorful looking as the rest. I thought all my fish tacos were fantastic. The tacos also came with lemon, and lime and a side of hot sauce, which was super flavorful and not too hot. I wanted to try the chips and gauc but they were sold out. Churros delish and I really enjoyed the chocolate sauce for dipping. It would be awesome if they had a caramel sauce as well. Opening up the new sleek black packaging made me extremely happy as well. The tacos were so bright and colorful. Seriously, go look at the pics I uploaded of the tacos...WOW! Everything was packed with so much care. This would have been a solid 5 star for me, but again, they gave me a beef taco instead of the requested vegan taco. 4.5 stars.

    I went there today for the last time. They gave me white tortillas ( I don't eat gluten) I asked…read morefor lots of cilantro, got NO CILANTRO, the fish taco is a piece of frozen fish that wasn't even cooked, jerk chicken taco, um where's the chicken. Usually they take some care and put the pickled veggies on , today a couple of crappy old tomatoes, and a piece of parsley? Parsley on tacos lmfao !!! For 14.00$ it was probably worth 5 bucks at best. I used to go there on the regular but never going back again . That was just nasty
