Michelin Bib Gourmand Social Enterprise

Flavors from Afar is a Social Enterprise of the Tiyya Foundation

Now open for catering and experiential dinners

Flavors From Afar 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 just a restaurant; it’s a testament to the power of community, compassion, and the desire to make a positive impact. Flavors is a for-profit social enterprise of the Tiyya Foundation. We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support and resources to refugees, asylum seekers, immigrants, and displaced families.

Our restaurant aims to honor and preserve the traditional cuisines of our culinary program participants, while also inviting you, the guest, to partake in this cultural exchange. Our talented team of immigrant, refugee, and asylum seeker chefs have shared their family recipes that have been passed down through generations, adapted, and shared with love.

Open now in East Hollywood and available for full-time catering and pre-ticketed experiential dinners on OpenTable. To learn more about Flavors From Afar, visit our website, follow us on Instagram and discover our reviews on Yelp.
