Makani has gradually become one of these few places that Cairo residents cannot live without. The branch of Heliopolis is located in a secluded area, surrounded by trees, as if hiding the café from the noisy streets of Cairo. Inside and out, Makani strikes with its warmth and coziness. The place is held in earthy colors, the tables and chairs are wooden; the music is soft (and what’s important, not too loud) turning Makani into a destination must-go. Once you are there, you will be able to choose dining in one of the two interconnected sections: Makani Section offering on its menu everything Makani is actually known for, including the much-beloved sandwiches, delicious salads, fresh juices, pastries and the yummy sweets; or Sushi Section boasting mouth-watering Sushi and Sashimi, prepared just in front of your eyes by Makani’s team of talented chefs. Unlike the spacious Makani Section, Sushi Section is small and private (able to take up to ten people), catering to those who want to escape the round-the-clock packed venue and giving its clients a more personal approach. The food is exceptionally tasty (and affordable) as usual. No wonder: all the dishes are prepared using the freshest ingredients. If Sushi is your passion, try out the famous Spider Rolls, consisting of salmon and avocado, wrapped in seaweed and served with thick sweet sauce. Crave for a good portion of steamy soup? Then Miso Soup is on offer. If you are more into the traditional specialties of Makani, then choose the best-selling Beef & Cheese or Turkey Club sandwiches, the palatable Chicken Corn Salad, and, for the dessert, the all Makani’s-fans favorite Carrot Cake or Chocolate Cake. From juices make sure you try Banana with Mint or, the recently added, Kiwi Juice – both scoring the top 5. The surprising part is that it is all affordable; though bear in mind that 12% service charge is added. Additional Information: • Apart from serving delicious food, Makani also offers entertainment. Makani Live (located in Oasis branch) features different performances on a regular basis, ranging from Cairo renowned bands to guitarists, karaoke nights, Latin jazz and much more. • Catering service throughout Cairo is also available.
