Operating full-time as a catering service, we now offer ticketed experiential dinners with a rotating prix fixe menu on Fridays and Saturdays. Flavors From Afar is an award-winning social enterprise with a diverse menu curated by talented refugee chefs, which offers customers an ever-changing array of authentic and high-quality dishes. We started with the idea that making and sharing food is a universal gesture that transcends cultural boundaries and speaks a language of love that is understood by all, but Flavors From Afar is more than food; it’s a testament to the power of community, compassion, and the desire to make a positive impact. Join us soon for our unique menus that range anywhere from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe.

    This was such a special experience. A carefully curated evening celebrating the culture of Palestine through the culinary arts. We enjoyed every dish and especially loved meeting the chef and chatting with the team from Flavors from Afar.
