    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.

    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.

    "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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    Egyptian Breakfast
    Sydney G.

    This place was great! I get very overwhelmed at food halls but my friend recommended Koshary so I beelined over there. When I arrived I told the cashier it was my first time so I wasn't sure what to order and he recommended a few things, but I settled on the Egyptian Breakfast, which had a little bit of everything -- falafel, pita, potatoes, and a bunch of dips. Everything was so good and I nearly cleaned up the whole platter all on my own. Would definitely eat here again!!

    Annie C.

    I love Greek food, and this was the perfect combo of all the healthy things I wanted while still tasting soo good. Some of the ingredients are unexpectedly very vinegary, but I still enjoyed nonetheless. It's also rare that the falafel is good and soft on the inside, but it was despite that it was very hard on the outside. Service was fast, and this food hall is very cute.

The ordering is quick, off of digital pads or the cashier and they bring the food out fast but also freshly prepared. A few small tables and two tables for larger parties fill the small space, but it feels comfortable rather than cramped. The staff is very nice, and routinely checked with all the tables. The falafel was great, small balls crispy on the outside but not still soft, and the hummus is nice and light. The homemade hot sauce isn't very hot, but it adds a nice flavor.

These included the chicken kabob bowl with tum, apricot juice, and the Om Ali pudding. The vibe of this place is a bit like a to go spot. It's quite small. If you are paying with a credit card, they have you order on a separate touchscreen. Ambiance was just standard, and we didn't really interact much with the people (I don't think they really have servers). The food was okay. The chicken kabob meal was honesty a bit of a let down. The rice is was served was was far too oily/buttery to the point of being overpowered. The chicken was also rubbery. Other than that, pretty good spices and I did like the garlic sauce. The apricot drink was nice. Tasted very fresh and a decent portion. Seems like they might make it in house? The om Ali pudding was also quite unique and good. It's similar to a bread pudding, and they have tons of little additions like raisins, nuts, etc. It is a traditional Egyptian dessert that I liked.

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.

The Manoushe was ready quickly and I was in heaven after my first bite. The vegetables tasted so fresh! The base of the Manoushe had the perfect amount of olive oil.
