Dyafa Announces New Consulting Chef Mona Leena Michael After Reem Assil’s Departure - Eater SF
"Dyafa, located in Jack London Square, Oakland, was opened by Chef Daniel Patterson and his Alta Group. It showcases Palestinian and Syrian food. Initially led by consulting chef Reem Assil, the restaurant is now being guided by Palestinian-American chef Mona Leena, who is focusing on refining and modernizing the menu with a more seasonally-driven approach, celebrating California's bounty while maintaining its roots in traditional Palestinian fare." - Caleb Pershan
