Our Story
The recipe is believed to have originated in Tyre and was passed down through generations of Phoenician cooks.
In ancient Phoenicia, the daring Tyre discovered a new recipe that would become a staple in the Mediterranean region and beyond. It was the Tarator, a refreshingly cool and tangy sauce made with tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil.
It was so beloved that it was an essential accompaniment to fish and other dishes throughout the region.
The tartness of the lemon juice was an ideal balance to the richness of the tahini and garlic, creating a unique flavor. The sauce was also very versatile, able to be used as a dip, a dressing for salads, or even a marinade for meats.

What People Are Saying
Absolutely delicious falafel and very friendly service. I would expect to pay more than this for such great quality in cbd! Have been hoping a new falafel joint would open and pleased to find this one so close to my place. Definitely will be back.

You HAVE to try the cheese dessert, not sure what it's called, but OMG so yummy! :)
