Sachi’s Ayman Baky & Mohamed Fares Have World Pharmacies on Speed Dial

Ayman Baky, the founder of Baky Hospitality, and Mohamed Fares, chief designer at Alchemy and founder of MF Associates, have crafted an F&B empire that oozes effortless cool. Late nights? They’ve had plenty - sharpening concepts, refining atmospheres, and pulling fresh ideas for Sachi out of thin air. But do they even remember how they first met? Have they ever found themselves gloriously lost in some foreign alleyway? And what’s the secret to surviving a decade-long partnership without losing their cool?

Since the very inception of Sachi, Baky and Fares have been the driving force behind its evolution. Fares, as the creative mind behind the design, has meticulously crafted the visual identity of each Sachi location, helping to create and evolve its visual bible over the years. From the first Sachi in Heliopolis, through the chic vibes of Park St., and now to the latest floating Sachi in Marassi Marina, Fares’ designs have been instrumental in defining the restaurant’s style, while Baky has steered the ship with his hospitality expertise. Together, they’ve turned Sachi into an iconic staple of Egypt’s culinary scene, each new outpost more daring than the last.

In the debut episode of #SceneEats’ Behind the Bar, Baky and Fares share the inside stories - cocktails in hand. From the pharmacies they’ve got on speed dial (yes, really) to the carefully orchestrated chaos behind their latest Sachi outpost at Marassi Marina, they’re ready to dish.
