Koshari (Rice, Lentils & Pasta)

Rice, lentils, pasta, and chickpeas piled in one bowl under a tangy tomato sauce, garlic-vinegar, and a heap of crispy fried onions — Egypt's national vegetarian dish. A hearty tangle of carbs and legumes, and the country's signature street food.

Falafel (Middle Eastern Chickpea Fritters)

Crispy deep-fried balls of ground chickpeas (or fava beans) seasoned with herbs and spices — the Middle East's beloved vegetarian street food. It began as Egypt's ta'amiya and spread across the region. Great in pita or on a mezze platter with hummus.
