The Soul of Our Kitchen

At Memi’s, every dish carries a story, and at the heart of it all is Memi herself, the chef who inspires everything we do.

Memi’s Journey

With over a decade of experience as a chef, Memi's culinary journey is one of passion, resilience, and an unwavering dedication to her craft. Not only does she oversee the kitchen at 3 Monkeys Bar & Grill, but she also works every single day at Memi’s, ensuring that every dish is made to perfection. Her hands-on approach, from selecting the finest ingredients to perfecting the balance of spices, guarantees that every guest experiences the authentic flavors she grew up with.

Born and raised in Egypt, her love for cooking was never just about feeding people, it was about bringing them together. Whether it was a simple home-cooked meal or a grand feast, she infused every dish with warmth, tradition, and a deep love for sharing our culture.

Beyond the kitchen, Memi has always had a heart for giving back. She loves to volunteer at her church, dedicating her time to helping others and strengthening the sense of community that has always been so important to her. Her generosity and kindness extend far beyond food, she believes in nourishing both the body and the soul.

Her recipes are more than just food; they are memories of family gatherings, the aroma of spices filling the kitchen, and the joy of watching loved ones savor every bite. Every plate at Memi’s reflects her dedication to authentic Egyptian flavors, passed down through generations and prepared with the same care and passion she’s always had.

This restaurant is a tribute to her, a place where her spirit, her cooking, and her legacy live on. From the rich, comforting bowls of Mulukhiyah to the crispy, golden Falafel, every dish tells her story. And now, we invite you to be a part of it.
