 Good soup!Feb 20, 2009
By LuxLady
I bought this on sale 40% off clearance price. It came out to about $0.62 per cup. Nice price! I like the taste. It's like mild-medium spiced. It vaguely reminded me of spicy bean soup. The couscous definitely has flavor (as opposed to most couscous I've tried). Someone with a light appetite could eat this as a meal. I believe it is vegetarian. I think it's a great value for good tasting food, and I would definitely eat this often.
It's basically like a healthier "cup-o-noodles" because you just add hot water, wait, and eat it. If you care about the nutritional value, read on. It's only 200 calories, low in fat, no saturated fat, has carbs for energy, has fiber (4g, which is 14%DV), has a decent amount of protein from the couscous and lentils, which by themselves are low in protein, but together they fill out each other's gaps in essential amino acids (10g, I believe you need about 50g in a day)), and has iron (15%DV). The only downside might be the sodium. It has 730mg (30%DV) of sodium, but isn't too bad if you're eating it as a meal or if the rest of your day's food is lower in sodium.

 Good and easy.Mar 03, 2009
By Rennie
From Nile Spice, I've had the lentil curry and the minestrone couscous cups. I think this one is slightly better. It has a lot of flavor and is easy to make. I would recommend letting it sit for 10 minutes instead of the recommended 5, and to give it a stir every 5 minutes during it.
The only problem is that it's a little salty.

Great snack!Jan 10, 2007
By Gabriela Perez
"Oy! So many books. . . ."
These little cups of couscous are superb snacks. The curry is not spicy enough to throw you off, and the lentils are a great choice. The taste of the couscous is just right: a hint of curry, and the nutty smoothness of lentils. The only reason I'm not giving this 5 stars is because of the 12 cups, three contained a mix that seemed to have gotten moist somehow. All the others contained a very loose, dry couscous mix.
These are great to take with you for lunch (as long as you can get your hands on some boiling water). I'd maybe take a chicken breast or a cup of other veggies to toss with the couscous so that it becomes more of a meal, but as a snack? Great!

A Tasty and Satisfying SnackFeb 07, 2009
By NoSpam
Flavorful, quick, easy, and healthy.
It is not a spicy hot curry, but it's definitely not bland.
Couscous is basically a tiny pasta, that makes it feel like a comfort food, and the lentils add fiber and protein.
I usually add some Just Tomatoes Just Hot Veggies, 8-Ounce Tubs (Pack of 3) for extra veggies.
Bottom Line: If Lentil Curry Couscous sounds appealing to you, then I'm sure you will enjoy this. If you're on the fence, give it a try!
