Inside the World of LOZAN Catering: Where Every Bite Tells a Story
LOZAN Catering isn’t just about food. It’s about storytelling, elevated vibes, and turning every event into something unforgettable.
Behind it all is Omar Adel Omar, whose passion for hospitality is the driving force behind the brand. Here’s how it all began and where it’s headed.
From Switzerland to Cairo
Meet Omar, the mastermind behind LOZAN. He studied at the École Hôtelière de Lausanne in Switzerland, which is like the Ivy League of hospitality. After that, he worked at the Four Seasons Cairo as a Catering Sales Manager.
After many years in the business, Omar decided to combine everything he’d learned into something of his own.
“I dreamt of combining this special set of skills and experiences in providing upscale catering in Egypt,” he says. And thus, LOZAN was born.
Why the Name “LOZAN”?
It’s got layers. Sure, the name nods to Lausanne, the Swiss city that played a big part in his journey.
But Omar explains, “LOZAN is also an abbreviation of my family’s names. L for Laila, my daughter; O for Omar; Z for Zizo, my son; A for AND; and N for Nancy, my wife.”
Sweet, personal, and symbolic. We’re here for it.
What Makes LOZAN Different?
“What truly makes us different is our passion for hospitality,” Omar says. “Our eye for detail, and our ability to elevate every occasion into something truly special. We really enjoy crafting special memories with our guests.”
LOZAN isn’t a one-size-fits-all catering service. Whether it’s a cozy private dinner or a huge corporate launch, every menu and event is curated from scratch.
“We tailor every event to reflect our guests’ vision,” he adds. “Our service is seamless, elegant, and professional.”
Let’s Talk Menu
LOZAN’s culinary reach goes global, covering International, European, Asian, and Middle Eastern flavors.
But they don’t just follow trends. They design dishes with intention.
“Every dish we create begins with a deep respect for ingredients—seasonality, origin, and character. From there, we blend culinary traditions with contemporary creativity.”
If LOZAN was a Dish…
“It would be a delicate fillet of branzino,” Omar says without missing a beat. “Gently pan-seared, served with a velouté of citrus and herbs, and a medley of seasonal vegetables.”
Why branzino? For him, it’s more than just a fancy fish. “The branzino reflects our Mediterranean soul: fresh, light, and sophisticated,” he explains. It’s that effortless elegance—like, you didn’t try too hard, but you still turned heads.
As for the velouté? “The citrus-herb velouté mirrors our subtle yet memorable touches,” he adds.
And the seasonal veggies? That’s the plot twist. “The seasonal accompaniments represent our ability to adapt, tailor, and elevate each experience with care.”
Most-Requested Dishes?
“Tuna Tataki, Paella, Sous Vide Tenderloin, and Succulent Duck.” And don’t sleep on dessert: “Berries Pavlova and Lemon Meringue Delight” are also big-time fan favorites.
Honestly, we’d like all of the above.
Customized Menus Vs. Preset Options
Customization is at the heart of what they do. “We love customizing specially designed menus for our guests,” Omar shares.
Whether someone’s vegan, gluten-free, pescatarian—or just has a super specific palate—they’ll get something that is made just for them.
But if you’re a Libra, or just simply indecisive, LOZAN also offers “a wide range of preset menus that cover numerous cuisines and suit a variety of occasions”.
So whether you want to build your dream plate from scratch or pick a perfectly crafted spread, you’re in good hands.
Different Events, Different Vibes: How LOZAN Matches the Mood
Different events call for different moodboards, and LOZAN is all about that flexibility. “For corporate events, we focus on sophistication and seamless service,” Omar says. “Menus are designed to reflect the brand’s image. Think bite-sized canapés, refined plated courses, or premium buffets that leave a lasting impression.”
Private parties are more intimate. “We lean into personalization. We craft dishes that feel meaningful and memorable.” For the desired effect, the host’s vision, preferences, and cultural background are the main focus.
And for industrial catering? “We shift to precision and nutrition— without
compromising on quality, hygiene, or flavor.” This makes it ideal for schools, offices, or large-scale facilities.
Yes, They Do Desserts—and Drinks Too
LOZAN’s pastry chef, with decades under his belt, crafts desserts from all over the world that bring smiles every time.
Omar also proudly reassured us that their bartenders are experts at mixing custom cocktails that fit any theme. For LOZAN, a well-crafted dessert or drink is just another way to connect and elevate the experience.
What About Food Waste?
Sustainability is key. “Leftover food has always been a challenge for our industry,” Omar admits. That’s why “we usually contact NGOs such as the Food Bank to donate untouched leftovers.” Because let’s be real—wasting good food? Not the right energy.
Where Do the Ingredients Come From?
If you’re wondering about the source of ingredients, LOZAN mixes the best of both worlds. Local and imported ingredients bring us the magic.
The Booking Journey
“Every event begins with a conversation,” Omar says. “It’s a chance to understand not just what our guests want—but how they want to feel.”
The booking experience at LOZAN starts with a consultation, then a custom menu is built and every element is coordinated: tastings, staffing, service flow, tableware. You name it.
“On the day of the event, our team executes with precision and grace,” he adds. “We manage every detail behind the scenes so our clients can be fully present, knowing everything is in expert hands.”
Next Chapter: Weddings
“The next big chapter for LOZAN Catering is all about love, celebration, and unforgettable moments”.
They’ve just launched a dedicated luxury wedding division.
“Weddings are the ultimate expression of personal style and emotion,” Omar says. “We’re bringing our signature touch to every detail, from multi-course menus to to bespoke culinary experiences that reflect each couple’s unique story.”
Expect exclusive tastings, personalized planning, and collabs with top-tier planners and designers. It’s giving romance, elegance, and serious taste.
From luxe menus to meaningful moments, LOZAN is serving flavor, style, and heart. Catch them elevating events across Cairo… and probably making branzino cool again.
