Binge Cairo

A sushi bar in Tagamoa 1: a few pieces, without giving up your whole evening.

4.6Rating(736)Google reviews€€€ High end

A sushi bar is two things at once: a counter you eat at and a bar you drink at. The format earns its keep when you don't fancy a long sit-down — you come in, order a few pieces, and go. Which of the two halves this place really delivers is the open question: the counter, and what is poured at it, are precisely the two things to check before making the drive. The address is in Tagamoa 1, east of Cairo.

The extra bit

If there is a counter — and that's still to be checked — take it over a table: you order piece by piece and watch your food being made. And a WhatsApp message before a weekend evening saves you turning up to a full room.

Know before you go

Book if you're going at the weekend. Tagamoa 1 is east of Cairo, and since the visit is short by nature, the drive weighs more than the bill: pair it with something else out that way. Nothing is walkable once you're there.
