"Meymuna Hussein-Cattan and Christian Davis co-founded Flavors From Afar as a social enterprise to support the Tiyya Foundation (a portion of all sales goes to the foundation). Each month the restaurant highlights the cooking of a different refugee who they employ from Tiyya. Past menus have featured Somali, Eritrean, Guatemalan, and Afghani cuisines. Meanwhile, a “classics” menu features Egyptian gravy smothered lamb and Kenyan pan fried tilapia among other favorites." - Oren Peleg
