You will have a 300 degree view of the beautiful Nile banks. Great food a bit overprices, but worth it. Highly recommended. Every Visitor to Cairo has to pass by it at least once during gis/her trip

Sequoia is definitelly one of my favourite restaurants in Cairo. The view on the North point of Zamalek is great, lots of atmosphere, great service, wide choice of shisha. It offers 2 different menus, so, besides the traditional lebanese food you have the japanese option as well. While sushi and sashimis are always good and fresh i have to say... More

We were visiting our daughter in Cairo and took a largish group (9) of her fellow interns to dinner. They selected the restaurant, and ordered the food, and we couldn't have enjoyed it more. Let's start with the location. Sequoia sits on the Nile, and the view is spectacular. The space is attractively decorated, almost like a tent in an... More

Perfect location by the Nile. We were not bothered by other diners' noise and the music was not too obtrusive either. The staff were perhaps too attentive in wanting to clear things before you had finished with them. You must eat 150 LE of food each which we thought would mean a lot of food but we had two mains...

With its laid back atmosphere, Sequoia is the ultimate dining concept. Its Wood paneled flooring, couches & stuffed chairs, low wooden tables, draped canopies and soft light, have created an ambiance which is irreplaceable. Sequoia’s dream like atmosphere and it’s simplistic elegance make it a place where one can truly enjoy a good afternoon and many endless nights.

With a relaxed vibe and good service, Sequoia was a pleasant surprise. We had a selection of mezze and cocktails and were impressed by the wide selection on offer. There was a minimum spend, but if you were eating there this was easy to meet, and although it was one of the more pricey places we went to in Cairo,... More

I was lucky to be accompanied by a local friend that wanted me to taste the Egyptian sushi. The restaurant is trendy and is situated in a beautiful place with a magnificent view to the Nile. The price is very reasonable and the food is really great! Highly recommended!
