Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Delicious local food with great staff. Only one option on the menu and it’s not to be missed. Highly recommend for anyone travelling and wanting to try out the local cuisine. Asad was a fantastic host, very attentive!

We came here as our tour guide recommended it. It started as selling food from a street cart outside. It is now at least 3 floors of tables! The food is delicious - koshary was not something I’d had before but the mixture of pasta,...rice, tomato sauce and other amazing things was so good! The chilli sauce for me was the icing on the cake! Delicious!More

It's not just the koshary but the atmosphere and the service that makes this the most famous koshary in Cairo. It is delicious. More lemony flavor than tomato which I like, but you can make the sauce how you like. Fun to have the staff...mix the sauce table side to get the show. A must do if in Cairo for a few days.More

It was super delicious; we can only recommend the food, including the dessert, which was so tasty that we ordered it a second time. The house drinks were also to our liking. The waiter even put on a show and demonstrated how to eat it....Simply brilliant.More

During our first visit to the renowned Abou Tarek in Cairo, we were greeted with the warmest welcome by Ehab, one of their exceptional staff members. As newcomers, we were initially unsure about how to best enjoy their famous Koshary dish. Ehab, with his infectious...enthusiasm and kindness, took the time to not only explain the dish to us but also performed a demonstration on how to perfectly assemble it. His engaging approach and eagerness to ensure we had a memorable dining experience truly made our visit special. The Koshary was as delightful as the service – a testament to why Abou Tarek is a must-visit destination in Cairo. Thank you, Ehab, for making our first encounter with Egyptian street food so remarkable!More
