A premium Egyptian restaurant identity transforming one real childhood memory—a grandmother, her rural kitchen and the songs she sang while cooking—into a complete brand experience.
Create a new Egyptian restaurant brand around the founder's real childhood story. While his father worked in the Gulf, he lived with his paternal grandmother in rural Egypt, grew attached to her cooking—especially traditional Egyptian clay-pot dishes—and remembered the songs she sang as she cooked. The brief was to translate that memory into a complete identity for a restaurant intended for Greece.
Build a distinctive, emotionally resonant restaurant experience that could introduce rural Egyptian cuisine to diners beyond Egypt and make the founder's story visible across the identity, packaging, proposed space and social communication—without reducing it to generic heritage styling.
People who love Egyptian food, alongside culturally curious diners who want to discover a distinct Egyptian and Middle Eastern food tradition.
01Moodboard & logo construction
The logo is constructed like a dish from meaningful ingredients: a simple outline portrait of the client's real grandmother, an arched frame inspired by old rural Egyptian doorways and a tomato plant referencing a foundation of Egyptian cooking and clay-pot dishes. The arch becomes a gateway into the world; botanical fragments become patterns across packaging, social media and banners.
02Cultural references & experience concepts
A grandmother's food is remembered for more than the recipe. Her voice, rituals and care become part of the taste; that emotional memory could become the brand's most distinctive ingredient.
The visual direction translates a rural Egyptian memory into a refined, premium system rather than a folkloric pastiche. The proposed experience extends from the real grandmother's portrait and rural doorway motif to botanical pattern, packaging, colourful rural garments, traditional floor dining, clay cookware and Egyptian coffee cups—treating every touchpoint as part of the same story.

04References, social & banner concepts
The brand treats the grandmother's care as the invisible ingredient connecting the food, identity and guest experience. It brings the warmth of a rural Egyptian home into a restaurant intended to feel generous, personal and premium.
A complete, client-approved identity translating one real family memory into a premium Egyptian restaurant experience.
