We’ve somehow made it to the Restaurant list for a second consecutive year (and ranked #1 in Egypt and #9 in the Middle East and North Africa). Last year I was convinced it was a typo as this is predominantly a fine dining list, but it seems we’re legitimately part of it. It's surreal. While I recognize the absurdity of choosing 50 restaurants out of a region with a population of over 400mn people, a part of me, the more emotional part, is incredibly proud to be part of a team that has built an Egyptian brand, serving Egyptian food, that is being recognized for its culinary excellence.
Egyptian food is and has always been delicious, rivaling the best in the world since way before Zooba ever existed; the world just didn’t know it. Today we’re another step closer to letting the world know. - Chris Khalifa, Zooba Founder & CEO
