The Sahel Sushi Guide for When the Cravings Hit
If there’s one thing we know about the Sahel season, it’s that sushi somehow tastes better when you’re salty, sun-kissed, and in flip-flops. Whether you’re team maki, sashimi, or just there for the vibes, the North Coast is serving up raw fish realness all summer long. And with International Sushi Day landing today, there’s no better excuse to roll up to one of these spots.
Sachi By The Sea – Almaza & Marassi
Immaculate vibes only. Ranked on MENA’s 50 Best, Sachi is more than just sushi—it’s a whole ocean fantasy. From buttery seabass to dishes you didn’t even know you were craving, the seafood here lands on your plate before it even lands in your dreams.
Reif Kushiyaki Egypt – Marassi Marina
Not your average sushi spot. Reif Kushiyaki is where Japanese street food goes gourmet, with flame-grilled skewers, inventive rolls, and serious chef cred. It’s name stems from “Kushi” which means skewers, and robatayaki, the traditional charcoal grilling style behind the smoky flavor.
Ranked on MENA’s 50 Best and The World’s 50 Best, this one’s a must for foodies who like it bold.
Mori Sushi – La Vista Bay & Mountain View
The OG. The classic. The icon. You really can’t talk about sushi in Egypt without dropping the Mori name. With a menu that keeps evolving and locations that pop up wherever the party is, Mori Sushi is your dependable sushi hub in the Sahel sprawl.
Takosan – Marassi
Sushi burrito, anyone? Takosan is bringing the fun to your feed and your plate with Japanese-Mexican fusions like sushi burritos and tacos. It’s the kind of place where you can eat with your hands and still feel gourmet.
Izakaya – Marassi
Fancy, flirty, and full of flavor. Another MENA’s 50 Best member, Izakaya brings Tokyo-style elegance to the coast. It’s sushi with a twist, perfect for when your beach day turns into a date night.
Mo Sushi – Near Marina 5
A little lowkey but incredibly high quality. Tucked right after Marina 5’s gate, Mo Sushi is the affordable sushi plug that delivers way more than it promises. Think budget-friendly rolls that slap harder than the beach speakers at sunset.
Kokomo – Sidi Heneish Village
The wild card. Kokomo’s not strictly sushi, but it earns its spot for being the all-in-one crowd-pleaser. Burgers, pastas, sushi—whatever your crew craves, it’s on the menu. Perfect for when no one can decide but everyone’s starving.
Sahel’s sushi scene is on another level. Whether you’re into high-end hot spots or casual coastal finds, there’s something raw and ready for every kind of eater. And since it’s International Sushi Day, consider this your official sign to grab your chopsticks and start rollin’.
