“ one of my most favorite places to eat out in Siwa as I am eating vegan and traveling on a low budget, koshary is just a perfect meal for me. And the taste of Karim's Koshary is just delicious! Even though koshary is known as a street food dish, at Koshary Karim I don't feel like I'm eating street food. The place has such a wonderful and calm atmosphere, the seating area is beautiful and cozy. The small backyard is a great place to escape from the loud and dusty streets. And the staff is just so friendly. I recommend everyone traveling to Siwa to eat here at least once! ”

“ A unique little oasis in the middle of Siwa’s “bustling” center of town welcomes visitors and residents for a bowl of koshary that’s as good as it gets. Karim and Rabee’ enjoy running this small charming place they created with love. Worth a visit. ”
“ Smallest koshary for 50 pounds which is definitely touristy price. The owner is friendly and attentive. I don’t think the local will pay this price for the koshary. The flavor is average and the ambience is fine too, elegant for attracting tourists. ”
