Family feel!! kunafa was amazing as well as falafels, hummus, tabbouleh and baba ganoush in the egyptian platter … possibly one of the best kunafa in my life. I think it was vegan!

It’s a cute and cozy place. The falafel and moussaka were tasty but I didn’t really like the Koshari.

Be transported to Egypt with the most incredible, delicious menu at Koshiri Mama! Brought to you with love, compassion and plant based goodness. You’ll feel like family - and enjoy absolutely amazing food that’s simply divine - and good for you too! We had a wonderful catered affair recently and Sahar and her team made the evening absolutely magical. Can’t wait for our next event with Koshiri Mama ?Vegetarian options: Everything is plant based and deliciousDietary restrictions: No worries about any dietary restrictions- you’re in expert hands

The food here is very tasty AND vegetarian. The service is wonderful too. I particularly enjoyed the eggplant bowl but my favorite was the Sahlab drink, which I tried for the first time here! Will be a strong candidate to replace coffee for me.

Just came from Egypt. Kosheri staple but also anyone poor can eat it. It doesn’t even cost $1 in 2024 to get koshari in Cairo for a big bowl, it doesn’t even have meat and they charge $20 for koshari is absolutely asinine

I do not recommend it at all. They treated us badly. We made reservations in advance, and when we arrived, although we had made reservations for breakfast on the day of Ramadan in advance, and despite the availability of tables, they asked us to enter a small room behind the kitchen, and their behavior was very, very bad. They told us, “Either this table and this room,” or “We apologize, there is no other table for you.” .. I will advise all Arabs and Gulf Arabs in Boston not to deal with them... They do not even deserve a star

Great food. Don’t forget to put the sauce in your koshari, otherwise, it is too dry ?

My partner and I had a lovely dinner here. Food came out fast! The eggplant appetizer (pictured) and the spinach stew were fabulous. The mushroom shawarma was also good but a little rich for my taste. I'm already planning my order for the next time I visit.Also very impressed with the beer list.Nice people.Would love to see risers on the clear chairs because the seat to table ratio was a little off.

Really beautiful place! Loved the banana date smoothie - simply but tasty! It was a few cents extra for more bread but overall reasonable. Vegan food that has great flavor!

The food was great with lots of flavor. The service was great and quick. The place is small but the atmosphere is great too. The entree portion is quite a bit. Would highly recommend for anyone who is vegan/vegetarian and even for the non vegetarians who want to try some flavorful food.Vegetarian options: I believe the entire menu is vegetarian, so plenty of options.Kid-friendliness: They have high chairs.

Koshari Mama was an absolute delight to stumble upon! The service was impeccable, and the portion sizes were beyond generous – just be cautious not to over-order! The Discovery Starters are a must-try, but beware, they come in colossal portions! As for the food, it's simply scrumptious. I wholeheartedly recommend this spot for a cozy dinner with friends or a relaxed, yet memorable, casual date!
