Following years of frequent dinner parties & teaching friends how to cook, chef Rawia decided to open a restaurant to share a simple idea: Cooking delicious Palestinian & Middle Eastern food as she does for family & friends, but with her unique twists.
º£½ÇÃâ·Ñ°æ’s cookery style was born first & foremost as a form of expression inspired by her mom and then influenced by her time traveling abroad & living in the New York.
In 1998 º£½ÇÃâ·Ñ°æ opened as a ten table, storefront in Brooklyn, & has since taken on a partner (Jumana, aka ‘The Daughter’), expanded to a larger location, published a cookbook, & now has a second book being published in June 2018.
Rawia describes herself as the daughter of a passionate, imaginative home cook. Jumana can now describe herself as the daughter of a passionate, imaginative restaurateur & author.
We are honored to continue an intergenerational legacy. Our commitment to and respect for our culinary heritage is the basis for º£½ÇÃâ·Ñ°æ & as the years have passed our menu has proudly evolved to embrace new flavors & influences to enliven & enrich.
Please join our table.
Warmest regards,
Rawia & Jumana Bishara
Jumana always says that when you eat at º£½ÇÃâ·Ñ°æ it’s as if you are eating at our home. We intend to highlight just that with the cuisine at º£½ÇÃâ·Ñ°æ: HOME-STYLE food meant for sharing.
By that token, º£½ÇÃâ·Ñ°æ has varied in its fusions, but never deviated from its roots, a blend of classical Palestinian & Middle Eastern cooking with delicious multicultural aromas stirred through. The cuisine celebrates tradition & embraces change.
