Reif Kushiyaki 5A

The 19 Best Restaurants in Cairo, Egypt | Eater

"Within the sophisticated 5A by the Waterway complex of restaurants and shops in New Cairo, you’ll find Reif Kushiyaki, an extension of chef-owner Reif Othman’s Michelin Bib Gourmand-winning Kushiyaki restaurant in Dubai. The Cairo location offers modern and upscale twists on Japanese street food — a tender salmon sashimi paired with a shiso-soy sauce, miso, and spring onion; beef gyoza with perfectly crisp bottoms; piquant goma wasabi beef skewers — all of which pair excellently with a cold Egyptian Stella beer. The dim lighting and dark wood furniture create a cozy, intimate atmosphere, enlivened by a playful mural featuring the restaurant’s anime mascot." - Laila Hassaballa
