SACHI Heliopolis sits on Cleopatra Street in Korba, the dining and café corridor at the heart of Heliopolis, and has built its reputation as one of Cairo’s most talked-about fusion restaurants. It pairs Mediterranean technique with Asian flavor on one menu, pulling a crowd of couples, foodies, and groups marking birthdays or anniversaries (source: Sachi Restaurant).
Expect sashimi and nigiri plates alongside Mediterranean small greens and appetizers, with a menu running 64 items across 11 categories and prices spanning roughly EGP 45 to 760 (source: EGMenus). The space reads sleek and dim-lit, built for long dinners rather than quick bites, with a bar program of wine and cocktails running alongside the kitchen. Reviewers consistently cite the plating and the sushi counter as highlights, and the restaurant’s regional standing was cemented when it ranked among the Middle East & North Africa’s top restaurants in 2022 (source: Sachi Restaurant).
