Founder story

Hader left engineering and built a kitchen around feeling.

In her CairoScene / SceneEats reflection, Hader describes leaving an engineering career, entering a world she had little experience in and following her food passion into Sanaa's Kitchen.

A personal project with cultural roots.

The captions carry a voice that is grateful, intimate and direct: thank-yous to collaborators, notes about rainy cozy takeovers, Cairo spice sourcing and the people who keep showing up for plates.

Cairo

Spices, hibiscus and memory.

Cairo appears as a place to source the best spices and hibiscus flower.

Amsterdam

Community, terraces and shared rooms.

The Amsterdam side is pop-ups, collaborators, rain, sunshine and full tables.
