Do you believe food is a portal to cross-cultural community building?

We do.

That’s why we’re coming through with the za’atar and cheese fatayer always. Swing by and say hi. Ask questions! We can’t wait to feed you. ✨🌷

For everyone looking to eat and enjoy. To munch and make good choices. No matter your dietary preferences... Join us in feasting on The Vegetable Tagine... Inspired by the flavors of Marrakesh.

TRUST.

It’s a game changer.

We’ll be offering tastes/making plates all night long. Or you know until we sell out. Whichever comes first 🌝🌷

Order online (link in bio). Or better yet swing by! We out here trying.

Our Thursday mood is Fatayer (savory pies, Arab empanadas) stuffed and/or sprinkled with cheese and/or za’tar. Listen y’all. This is a childhood FAVE! We’ve spent the whole afternoon nibbling between sips of warm tea. Cheers to a restful and/or joyous weekend friends ☃️🌷
