Odoriko · Arkan Mall
A touch-first digital menu for a high-end Japanese restaurant in one of Cairo's most prestigious addresses. Sashimi-grade typography. Tablet-grade performance.
Odoriko sits in Arkan Plaza — premium territory, premium expectations. The QR-code-PDF approach that most restaurants get away with would have actively cheapened the brand. They needed something that felt like part of the meal.
Tablet-first interaction model — every tap zone sized for a thumb, every transition tuned for touch latency. Bilingual EN / AR with full RTL support and a one-tap toggle. Allergen system ((D) Dairy, (N) Nuts, (V) Vegetarian, (S) Spicy) baked into the data model so updates propagate everywhere. Performance budget — every dish image hand-compressed; the heaviest section loads in under 800ms on the restaurant's WiFi.
Premium hospitality menus get the typography wrong almost universally — too small, too apologetic. The Odoriko menu treats every dish name like a heading. Generous size. Generous spacing. The descriptions whisper underneath. Allergen indicators ride at the end, where the eye expects them.
Fresh salmon over hand-formed shari, brushed with house nikiri.
240 EGPAkami tuna, yuzu kosho, avocado mousse, crispy taro chip.
320 EGPUji matcha, mascarpone cloud, savoiardi soaked in roasted hojicha.
180 EGPServers stopped apologizing for the tablet. Guests started ordering from sections they'd previously skipped. The menu became part of the meal experience — not a hurdle before it.
