Tanoreen

After years of hosting family and friends, Rawia Bishara was ready to invite all to her table. In 1998, she opened Tanoreen to celebrate her mother’s cooking and their shared Palestinian heritage. Now, with her daughter Jumana at her side, the two continue to tell the story of their culture through food—weaving through the Levant region via falafel, lamb kafta kabobs, cheese-laden knafeh and more Middle Eastern delicacies. In each dish, they hope to share a bit of their family’s story.
