Zooba was born in Cairo, serving our take on a few Egyptian street food staples since 2012. We’d love to take the Zooba experience to as many cities around the world as possible, but we’ll never forget where we came from. Egypt will always be the heart of Zooba, even if we don’t always wear our heart on our sleeve.
