One of Lebanon’s most celebrated dining destinations has finally arrived in New Cairo! Em Sherif, the world-renowned Lebanese restaurant brand, is opening its first New Cairo branch at 5A by The Waterway, bringing refined Levantine cuisine and warm Lebanese hospitality to the heart of the city.
Founded in Beirut in 2011 by Mireille and Yasmina Hayek, Em Sherif quickly became a symbol of Lebanese fine dining, redefining what it means to dine the traditional way! The name itself, “Em Sherif,” means the mother of Sherif, reflecting the restaurant’s philosophy of heartfelt, home-style cooking.
At Em Sherif, you’ll experience home-style Lebanese dishes served with fine-dining polish. The menu is abundant and full of flavor, featuring a wide selection of cold and hot mezzes. They offer Tabbouleh, Fattoush, Samke Nayye, Kibbeh Nayye, and Labneh for the cold mezzes, while the hot mezzes bring comforting favorites like Wagyu Hummus, all crafted with precision and passion.
Every dish celebrates Lebanese tradition while adding a modern, elevated touch. The atmosphere combines the warmth of a family table with the sophistication of luxury dining, making it perfect for both everyday meals and special occasions.
