The Last Super

Last time I went for dinner in Dubai, me and my friends decided to try something different and more casual since I was taking my baby boy with me. I saw some photos of a trendy little restaurant called Zaroub, and read some good reviews about it, and a friend told me they do good Koshary, the Egyptian in me got too excited upon hearing the word Koshray, my life as an expat in the middle east has left me with two options either to stand up in my humble kitchen for 2 hours to get out with a Koshary plate, or to go to those lousy street food places in the local markets to get a koshary plate and a sever diarrhea as well. so usually I stick to the homemade version as I found it more tasty and healthy.

So we went to Zaroub which is a Egyptian / Lebanese street food restaurant, the moment we stepped inside we got mesmerized by the wonderful funky decoration and the fabulous setting, it was a full house that day so we couldn't easily find a place and we had to wait for some minutes and then we were seated outdoors, actually I wished to seat inside because the decor was more fun inside, but the great thing about their outdoors is that you have the full view of Sheikh Zayed road and you can see Dubai metro coming by every now and then. To our good luck the weather that time was surprisingly "so nice" which is a weird word to describe weather in Dubai.  The menu was so creative it was like a check list with everything they have and you just tick beside what you want to order, I ordered Koshary of course, and my friends ordered shawerma, maoucheh and feterah meshaltetah with Lebanese sausages. everything was beyond delicious, and my Koshary was so close to the homemade one, and it was one of the best I have had so far. it was a nice outing and a nice place.

So true

My Koshary,

I love eating Koshary from a stainless steel plate, I think this is the way it should be eaten, at my mom's house we had those kind of plates especially for Koshary, and my youngest brother used to call them "El Etba'a El Hadid" meaning the iron plates.

I didn't have a good camera with me so I apologize for the image quality, but below is some photos I borrowed from their FB page so you can take a closer look at the restaurant.
