"I was out late the other evening and feeling a bit hungry ; so, I decided to go to this Koushary place that I had heard about. Koushary (or however it may be transliterated) is a Egyptian working man's dish made of rice, pasta, lentils,...chick peas, fried onions, and a seasoned tomato sauce. I have very good memories of eating Koushary when I was a student in Cairo for years. And while I have made reasonable facsimiles of this working man's dish here in Paris, I decided to seek out this restaurant in the northern arrondissement. It's far away. That said, it is right off of the Métro/Subway Line at the SIMPLON station stop from the northern terminus of Line at Porte de Clignancourt). You would think that a dish like this would be simple enough to prepare. Well . . . while there may, indeed, be different variations of Koushary with which I am not familiar, it's also true that I ate a LOT of koushary when I was living in Cairo. This one was pretty poor, actually. I think that the porportions of the ingredients were out of balance, weighing heavily on rice (which I don't think was that great), tiny elbow macaroni, and a tomato sauce that was uninspiring. To top all of that off, it was very nearly cold. The ingredients are all cold. Maybe the idea is to heat them up a bit with the tomato sauce ? I don't know. But, at the bottom of my large portion of koushary (which would have made any real Egyptian person smile because of its petit size), there was water probably from the macaroni or the rice. I don't know, but it was unpleasant. Maybe it would have been different if I had been there for lunch ? I will never know because I will not be going back to this place. Sorry. I had really hoped to write a good review for this place because I love the country and I have very good Egyptian friends, but I think that they would have agreed with me on this review. I don't usually complain about paying euros for a meal, but, quite frankly, for that price, they could have at least served it hot (I didn't see a microwave behind the counter, but perhaps they could use one"
