A leading light in entrepreneur Ayman Baky's gastronomic empire, Kazoku welcomes diners for a first-class Japanese-inspired experience in the centre of Cairo, within the Swan Lake compound. The name means 'family', which comes as no surprise, as everything from its warm interior to its extensive izakaya menu is suited to guests of all ages. Collaborating with several consultants, Kazoku elevates Cairo's contemporary Japanese dining scene, serving mains such as Chilean sea bass, fried ebi maki and black cod gyoza. The dessert bento box is ideal for those with a sweet tooth – but even guests with little room left will struggle to resist the caramel fondants and matcha brûlée. The restaurant is large and low lit, creating an intimate atmosphere, while the terrace offers a tranquil option for those who prefer to dine beneath the swaying Egyptian palm trees.
