Our Heritage

There are some people whose contribution make the world a better place. Fairouz, the famous Lebanese singer, is certainly one of those blessed souls. Not only for her heavenly voice, but also for her big heart and compassion towards those who are most vulnerable. Throughout the hard times in Lebanon, her noble gestures made her standout as a force of benevolence.

Fairouz in Arabic means breathtaking turquoise stone. Turquoise is also one of Alnashashibi's favorite colors. As a tribute to this amazing lady's positive, creative and healing energy, the concept of Fairouz Restaurant & Gallery was conceived.

The Alnashashibi family established and operated Fairouz restaurant in 1984, with the hospitality that originated from their beloved city of Jerusalem. As you enter Fairouz Cafe & Gallery, you will feel at home, among friends and family. A welcoming with open hearts to enjoy healthy food and a peaceful time.

We believe that food is a love token for people to share. Borbada is a dessert we offer that mixes barley with cinnamon, raisins, and syrup to create a healthy treat that people commonly share in celebration of Easter. It is a treat which people say goes back to the times of Jesus.

Our Food

Sahar (people also call her Sarah) is the backbone of Fairouz Cafe & Gallery.

We call her the “food artist” because she has been a talented cook since she was young. She learned how to cook from her mother, my mother, and aunts.

When you are here, you will see Sarah busy doing what she loves…cooking the delectable dishes you enjoy.

Whether she is cooking for one person or large party, you can be sure that Sarah adds a bit of her spirit and a touch of love into each dish.

Our Art

Fairouz Cafe & Gallery is a collection of different forms of art. Ibrahim Alnashashibi believes that art is all around us. Art is in the beauty of nature, as well as in the human composition, inseparably bound with the mighty threads of love. Anything that is made with love is an art form. At Fairouz Cafe & Gallery we love nothing more than to prepare your food with all our love and creativity. We want to create a unique atmosphere that transcends time and takes you into an uplifting journey away from the daily challenges of life. We give you the space of this unique eatery-gallery to enjoy the company of your loved ones surrounded by many of Alnashashibi's beautiful vibrant paintings as they take life and embrace the walls of our restaurant.

Ibrahim Alnashashibi, a creative soul of many virtues, loves sharing his journey, creativity, and love with what he calls his Chosen Family. A family of creative builders who constantly and diligently worked towards the progress of humanity, for the love of life, and people.
