Koshary Lux

City West & Charlottenburg


This darling snack shack deals in contemporary riffs on North African and Middle Eastern street-food staples. Positively addictive is the namesake koshary, a rich mix of lentils, macaroni and rice served with caramelised onions, chickpeas, tomato sauce and a pistachio-spice blend. It goes well with a homemade mint-lime lemonade. Skip the lunch rush.
