Koshari is the dish Egypt's creators filmed most over the last 14 days: 35 videos, 33 creators, 4.4M views. Its share of food videos is 50% bigger than across the six weeks before, and most of the filming happened in Giza.
Koshary El Senn
A single video about Koshari El Senn drew 452K views in 14 days, the biggest number of any koshari place here. The 100-year-old Giza institution is famous, light and polarizing, so expect a crowd and strong opinions.
Lahaleebi
Lahaleebi in Tanta turned one koshari video into 450K views, nearly matching the top spot from outside Cairo and Giza. It is the only Tanta address in this run of koshari coverage.
Koshary El Khedive
Koshary El Khedive in Cairo pulled 322K views from one koshari video in the last 14 days. That puts it third on views among the places creators filmed.
Breadfast
Breadfast is a Giza coffee shop, and one koshari video filmed there reached 194K views. Its menu runs to pastries and coffee, including a pistachio Basque cheesecake and a sugar-free salted caramel latte.
El Wansh
El Wansh in Giza appeared in one koshari video over the 14 days, with 168K views. It sits in the middle of the pack on views but inside the Giza cluster driving the trend.
Koshary Al-Sani
Koshary Al-Sani drew 167K views from one video, close behind El Wansh. The 90-year-old Giza spot is described as a legendary koshari that lives up to the hype, with a bustling street-food feel and late-night hours.
Koshary Abou Tarek
Koshary Abou Tarek in Cairo had the smallest view count of this group at 57K from one video, but it carries 4.3 stars across 49,848 Google reviews. The legendary Cairo institution mixes the bowl at your table and suits first-timers.
The trend is measurable and the map is narrow: Giza koshari, filmed once each, doing most of the numbers.
