SceneNoise and WSLA Put Cool Cat at the Centre of Their Next Night

SceneNoise and WSLA Experience have invited one of Cairo’s most elusive supper clubs to cook beside the Nile. On September 18th, Cool Cat Experience will take over the opening chapter of their latest night at Ceryle in Maadi with a secret five-course menu.

Founded by chef Hazem Abdel Ghany, Ali Abu El Ezz and Yasmin Mahrous, Cool Cat has built its following through more than 20 pop-ups and over 200 original recipes. Its format borrows from omakase - guests arrive without choosing what they will eat and place the evening in the hands of the kitchen. At Ceryle, all five courses will remain undisclosed until they are served. Youla, a Cairo-based selector, will accompany the meal with an ambient set.

“We’re asking people to trust us to make the best food we can, so they can forget the everyday burden of deciding what to eat," Abdel Ghany tells #SceneEats.Building on SceneNoise and WSLA’s earlier jazz-kissa-inspired listening sessions at Ceryle, this edition begins at the table before gradually turning its attention towards the dance floor. At 8 PM, Alia Nour and Cairo house and techno mainstay Nour Fahmy take over the listening bar for extended sets through Ceryle’s audiophile sound system. At midnight, Egyptian DJ and producer Omar Fayyad, a longtime fixture of Dubai’s underground scene, brings the evening to a close with an intimate party.

Capacity is limited, with a separate ticket tier for the Cool Cat dinner. Reservations are available through SceneNoise’s bio or at ceryle-eg.com/events/wsla.
