?️EAT THIS TONIGHT-

Stumped for your Valentine’s Day plans? Get some inspiration from MENA’s 50Best Restaurants, which includes a handful of local spots, making us tied for the city with the second-highest entries on the list:

  • Khufu’s made the top 5. The relatively new restaurant has an outstanding view of the pyramids and serves Egyptian cuisine with a twist. To pair with the classic menu, there is a fully stocked bar ready for any concoction you might crave.
  • Kazoku came in 12th. The upscale Japanese restaurant has been a staple for many years and you’re surely familiar with the name.
  • Sachi made it onto the list twice, with the Giza location (6 October) at #15 and #33 going to the Cairo location (Heliopolis). Another Baky hospitality creation, the Mediterranean cuisine lives up to the group’s high standard.
  • Zooba (Zamalek) came in as the 24th on the list. Redefining Egyptian streetfood, the restaurant put Egyptian food on the map in the West, expanding to New York, and currently expanding in the Mena region as well.
  • Finally, Izakaya made it to the 38th spot on the list. The Japanese Peruvian fusion restaurant is often compared to Kazuko but serves smaller plates along with their extensive drinks menu.

Dubai dominated the list once again, being home to four out of the five top spots and 18 total entries while the UAE had 20 in total. Later this year on 5 June, the list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants will drop and we’ll see how MENA establishments fare on the global stage.
