The Namu Cairo

Korean hub

""The Namu" in Cairo is a Korean cultural hub with some good and drinks. I always come here to work & do work meetings. It's cozy & I always feel welcome!"

My lovely tiny safe zone, The Namu is a Korean cultural hub serving some Korean food and drink basics. More importantly, they have the best, most cheerful atmosphere of any place I’ve ever been to.

While working on my laptop, I just feel bored and want someplace where I can find a good atmosphere for working and relaxing seats. The Namu is my favorite for this kind of stuff. I do most of my work meetings there, since it’s not a fancy place, it’s more cozy, so you never feel not welcomed.

The best dish for me is the rice with chicken and the kimbab -- not all people like it, but you’ve got to try it. The food there is not really budget-oriented but if you’re going for work you can have a drink for a good price or maybe pay a ticket to stay. But whatever you do there, you’ll love it.
