Our Journey: From Passion to Plate

Explore the story behind our family-owned restaurant, dedicated to fresh, authentic Mediterranean flavors and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that keeps customers coming back.

A Family Legacy of Flavor

A Family Legacy of Flavor

Opened on February 18th, 2003, by Samira and her husband Kasem, this family-owned restaurant has become a beloved spot for Mediterranean food in Brandon. Initially, it was just Samira and Kasem working together, with Samira juggling her role as a Registered Nurse while Kasem handled the daily operations. The restaurant has always been at its current location, once a pet store Samira visited without imagining one day it would be home to their business.

Known for authentic chicken shawarma and meat and rice balls, every dish is made in-house with fresh ingredients. "Our food is always fresh and flavorful," says Kasem. Customers keep returning for the unique flavors, especially the house-made sauces. The restaurant has earned great reviews, partly due to Kasem’s extensive experience in restaurants across the U.S. and abroad. Serving families, individuals, and local workers, it has become a favorite for those who value quality and convenience.
