The Good Stuff
Dessert Range
Rice pudding, Lotus rice pudding, Om Ali and belila give you more than one traditional dessert option.
Fast Delivery
Several delivery reviews describe quick preparation and prompt arrival, including hot food ordered through Talabat.
Generous Portions
One first-time customer found the koshary portion larger than expected, and a meal for two was reported to feed three to four people.
Clean Dining
The dining area was described as clean and spacious, with a transparent kitchen visible to customers.
Parking Options
Although the neighbourhood can be congested, reviewers mention a large parking plot directly in front of the restaurant.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check Sauce. Ask for extra tomato sauce if you prefer a wetter bowl; one reviewer found the serving too small.
Mind Shatta. Use the hot sauce sparingly at first: a reviewer described the shatta as genuinely fiery.
Verify Orders. For delivery, check drinks and sides on arrival; one order containing two Pepsis arrived with only one.
Allow Parking. Hor Al Anz can be congested, but try the large parking plot in front of the restaurant before looking farther away.
Compare Prices. Compare sizes and prices before ordering: one customer found the small koshary too small for a meal.
Use Discounts. Check delivery apps for offers; one customer received 50% off and free delivery through noon.

The Bottom Line
Koshary 3am Hanafy is a casual Egyptian restaurant in Hor Al Anz centred on traditional koshari. The main bowl brings together rice, lentils, pasta, chickpeas, crispy fried onions, tomato sauce, garlic and optional hot sauce. Reviews also mention chicken, sausage, and a useful selection of Egyptian desserts, so it works for more than a single-bowl stop.
Dessert is a genuine draw for some customers: rice pudding, rice pudding with Lotus, Om Ali and belila all appear in the reviews. The dining room has been described as clean and spacious, with a transparent kitchen, and the Egyptian-themed atmosphere adds character without making the place sound formal. Portions can be generous; one Koshary Meal for 2 was said to feed three to four people.
Delivery is often praised for quick preparation, hot food and prompt arrival, but Talabat experiences are not uniformly smooth. Check the order when it arrives, since one customer received one Pepsi instead of two. In-store service is generally described as friendly and fast, though communication may be harder if you do not speak Arabic.
Pricing is the main reservation. Some reviewers call it reasonable, while others find it high compared with nearby Egyptian restaurants, particularly for the small size. Parking can be difficult in this congested area, although a large plot is reported directly in front.
