Excellent - Edit
This is in my street for the past two years. Why the hell don't they say they're vegetarian on the door? Had one just now, it was absolutely epicly delicious. Perfect street food. Mad hot sauce wasn't really that mad, but you knew it was there. I'll be back, many times.
Read morePros: fast and cheap, relatively healthy

Fast, Tasty, and Inexpensive - Edit
Anissa Helou, the brains behind Koshari Street, hit gold with her concept to open a restaurant selling just one main dish: Koshari, Egypt's most famous street snack. The dish is comprised of lentils, pasta, and rice with chickpeas and tomato sauce, topped with crispy fried onions. Various salads are also on offer, but I always skip them in favourite of the Koshari, which is cheap and filling.

A disappointment - Edit
I was really looking forward to this due to all the positive reviews, but unfortunately, I was very disappointed. It was very different from what I had expected.
Read moreThe staff were very friendly and the location is perfect, just one minute from Trafalgar Square. The prices are still very cheap, which I didn't expect in this location. However, I found the main dish - the Koshari - not edible at all. The caramelized onions on top were nearly burnt and so disgusting that I scraped them off. The other ingredients were not cooked enough and everything was quite tasteless apart from the sauce which was ok, but tasted readymade and not special at all. I had expected a special, tasty dish and what I got was a boring dish with some not edible onions on top.
However, I got another salad which I had for dinner later, and that tasted fresh and was very nice.
Seating is very limited and the seats very uncomfortable, so better come here in summer for a takeaway. If I ever come again, I will certainly just buy a salad - I won't try the Koshari again, once was enough.
Pros: Perfect location , Very cheap, Friendly staff
Cons: Main dish was not edible

Tasty! - Edit
Must have walked past this place hundreds of times but I won't do so again! Their one dish - KOSHARI - is a mix of rice, pasta, lentils and chickpeas topped with a tomato sauce (choose your chilli strength) and fried onions. It was absolutely delicious and under a fiver for dinner.

They serve just one dish, and that's enough - Edit
This place just serves one dish, and it's enough because it is so delicious.
Read moreIt has a lot of flavours and spices, it's like a box of wonders. The tomato sauce is very rich, and the herb mix is really good. Not to mention the crispy onions on top mmm....
Very good value as well, if the day is beautiful, just grab one box and go sit in Trafalgar Square to have a nice lunch.
Pros: Excellent flavoursome food, Good value

Awesome food, open late - Edit
I ate here recently, and finding this place was a life-saver. It was the only vegetarian restaurant in the area open late on a Thursday night, and the food was not only delicious but also a good price.
Read moreIt's very filling, the flavors are bold and wonderful, and the location-service-hours-price aspects were great, too.
I would absolutely go here again.
Pros: All vegetarian, Open late, Good prices

Good fast food - Edit
We ate here yesterday and enjoyed it! The lady said they just do the one main Koshari dish so it is the same everyday,. but they do have a fridge with salads and soups available!
Read moreThe main dish is all vegan!
So it's just the snacks/yoghurts and (maybe the salads too?) that are veggie, not sure.
We loved the food and it was a great quick bite on the go. We just bought a regular Koshari for about £4, good value for the portion in central London!
It's pretty awesome they are open until 11pm, so if you don't want the full sit-down dinner you can run by here and just grab it to go, really handy to be honest!
Pros: free water, good quick food, late opening
Cons: limited menu

Just ate here as a lost tourist in London. Had the Combo Koshari dinner, which is a good bit of everything. Absolutely great stuff. Price is very good considering what you get. Also the free WiFi (although it not advertised on the front window).
