Our Story

Where Heritage Meets Innovation

Founded in 2010 by Chef Saad Hassan, Nile & Clay brings the rich culinary traditions of Egypt to the modern table. Our philosophy is simple: honor the ingredient, respect the tradition, and create something extraordinary.

Every dish tells a story — of the Nile Delta farms where we source our vegetables, of the fishermen who bring us the freshest catch, and of generations of Egyptian home cooks whose recipes inspire us daily.

"The Nile does not ask permission — it simply nourishes. So does our kitchen."

— Chef Saad Hassan, Founder

The Visionary

Chef Saad Hassan

"Egyptian food is not simple — it is distilled. A thousand years of trade, faith, and seasons, reduced into a single bite."

Trained at Le Cordon Bleu Paris and Alexandria Culinary Academy, Chef Saad returned to Cairo in 2010 to bring Egyptian home cooking the fine dining platform it deserves.
