Reviews for Koshari Mama in Somerville, MA
Tried Koshari Mama for the first time last weekend, and I haven't stopped thinking about it! The space is really cute and the... staff is super friendly. We got the just eggplant, mushroom shawerma, falafel platter, and chicken sandwich (not pictured).Everything was so delicious and I can't recommend it enough! :) Some of the best vegan food in the area!

This is a new Egyptian/Lebanese place in Somerville. Nice, colorful decor. Very clean, playing Egyptian music in the background.... Super friendly staff. Eggplant fries appetizer was hot and delicious. My foule plate looked great but was actually rather bland.They need to spice it up or get some hot sauce on the side. My boyfriend?s mushroom sandwich was decent, but a bit pricey. Read more
Delicious food, very cute interior, very nice service. I love this spot and wish I lived closer so I could get it all the time.... Everything is great, but I really recommend the Koshari, and the "chicken" sandwich. INCREDIBLE. The photos are the falafel, andthe Kofta Pane (which is made with Impossible). Not anything on the menu I would refuse though, and you have to get dessert too,don't skip it! Read more
Food is expensive, portions small. I ordered the mushroom shawarma and kabe kofta; $46. Mushroom shawarma is okay, very... garlicky sauce. Rice was dry and over cooked. The kabe kofta is impossible meat battered and deep fried. For $20 I wasexpecting an entree, not an appetizer. The restaurant is understaffed. Sweet ladies, but the ratio of staff to customer fordinner service meant the waitstaff was overworked. Read more
Absolutely delicious! Very cute inside too. The mushroom shawarma was delicious. Big portions too. The mezze platter was also... good, but for $18 it felt a bit underwhelming (the whole wheat pita bread also wasn?t the most fresh tasting. Would havepreferred white). But the shawarma was incredible so 5 stars and for $11 an awesome price point. I swapped salad for the chips! Read more
Beautiful Experience at this New Restaurant! The host Twisha was absolutely the pinnacle of excellence in the multiple roles she... fulfilled as Host, Server and genuine loving and friendly human being. The Chef's created visually stunning artworks with eachitem we ordered only to be surpassed by the taste! The smoothie with dates was amazing! Perfect balance of sweetness and theywere wonderfully accommodating as we asked for a mixture of strawberries, mango and banana that wasn't a option on the menu.The Egyptian Black Tea was super smooth just as she described. The handcut fresh cut French Fries were excellent. My Sisterthought she ordered an entrée that we saw online and didn't realize it was a pita pocket and not a sub roll and they were sogenerous and loving that they brought it out afterwards on the house. The Owner came out at the end to meet us and was soappreciative! I can't wait to go back and try all the menu items! Highly recommended! Read more

Thank you for sharing a piece of Egyptian culture withBostonians???? Read more
