Watch: Sumac Chicken, Hummus, and Flatbread Complete a Syrian-Palestinian Feast | Eater
"Owned and helmed by Reem Assil, who was raised in a Palestinian-Syrian household, this Oakland restaurant is an homage to both her Arab heritage and her identity as an Oaklander. The menu focuses on Levantine cuisine — especially Syrian and Palestinian traditions — and highlights spreads and communal dishes such as hummus topped with spiced lamb, muhammara, and musakhan centered on sumac-roasted chicken. Assil frames the food as authentic to her and as stories about her upbringing; the restaurant and its feasts have also been featured on the series Cooking in America with host Sheldon Simeon." - Eater Video
