Feeding Mind, Body & Soul at New Cairo’s Latest Health Spot Kouzine

By anyone’s measure, Cairo has quickly claimed its position as a world-class city of clashing global cuisines, bursting at the seams with excellent eats. We’re increasingly spoiled by the plethora of punchy food experiences across the city. Yet, spots focusing specifically on healthy food made with the highest-quality ingredients are few and far between, often caught in a sea of cuisine that doesn’t quite tick that ‘my body is a temple’ box…

Serial entrepreneurs Mostafa Sarrag and Youssef Raslan have recognised this gap in the market, and have responded by opening the health-conscious Kouzine. “Our philosophy is rooted in the belief that food should not only nourish the body but also enrich the soul,” Mostafa Sarrag, co-founder of Kouzine, tells SceneEats. “The Kouzine experience celebrates both health and flavour, offering fresh, wholesome meals and drinks made from carefully selected ingredients.”

Kouzine’s health-conscious offerings are here to fuel both body and mind. From low-calorie options to hearty yet wholesome food-hugs, ingredients are carefully selected and locally sourced whenever possible.

This is the fresh food that will keep you coming back. Breakfast bites like wholegrain waffles slathered in toppings jostle for space on the menu, with day-making lunches and equally decadent dinner options like the Shrimp Fiesta - a riot of rice, potatoes, shrimp and jalapeños - or the Chicken Thrive pasta bowl with sweet potatoes and teriyaki sauce, also offering themselves up to be savoured. 

Catering to a wide range of tastes and dietary preferences, this is a warm and welcoming environment for a quick mid-mall pit stop or a proper sit down meal, no matter the time of day. It’s not just the food that aims to promote holistic mind, body and soul health. Kouzine’s surroundings will have you equally at peace, with soft lighting and natural wood furnishings adorning the ever-so-fresh food spot.
