The Only 7 Restaurants in Cairo Serving Poke Bowl

The beloved Hawaiian dish poke (pronounced poh-kay) is still having a moment in Om El Donia, and quite frankly, how can we blame it? It's Instagrammable, healthy and absolutely delish. Traditionally, poke features raw ahi tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds, and onions as the usual suspects. But this fishy invasion means this classic dish is being served in new ways. If you're new to poke and unsure where to start, this list is the only thing you'll need in your life.

The first dedicated poke bowl restaurant in Egypt. Known for their salmon poke bowl with ponzu soy sauce, you won’t just devour a yummy nosh but go on a temporary trip to Hawaii with the place’s ‘Aloha’ vibes -- all that’ll be missing is actually being in Hawaii itself.
