Koshari Seattle

At Koshari, we use real mastic gum—not flavoring—in sahlab, rice pudding, and chocolate pudding, prepared the traditional way.

Our Sahlab story began at home with a boxed mix that didn’t feel right. After discovering it was filled with artificial flavors and even a lead warning, we created our own from scratch using pure ingredients like mastic resin, rose and orange blossom waters. The result was a creamy, aromatic, and healthy Lebanese classic — so good we added it to our Koshari menu, now also available in a vegan version.
