Our Heritage

There are some people whose contributions make the world a better place. Fairouz, the famous Lebanese singer, is certainly one of those blessed souls.

She is known 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 stand out 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, and will be welcomed with open hearts to enjoy healthy food and a peaceful time.

We believe that food is a love token for people to share.

Our Food

Sahar (also known as Sarah) is the heart and soul of Fairouz Cafe & Gallery. We affectionately refer to her as the "food artist" because she has been a skilled cook since her youth. She learned the art of cooking from her mother, mother in law, and her aunts. When you visit, you'll often find Sarah passionately preparing the delicious dishes that you enjoy. Whether she's cooking for an individual or a large gathering, you can be certain that Sarah infuses each dish with her spirit and a touch of love.

Our Art

Fairouz Cafe & Gallery is a unique collection of various art forms. Ibrahim Alnashashibi believes that art can be found all around us, in the beauty of nature and in human expression, bound together by love.

At Fairouz Cafe & Gallery, we take pride in preparing food with love and creativity. Our goal is to create a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that allows our guests to escape daily challenges and embark on an uplifting journey. Our eatery-gallery provides a space where you can enjoy the company of your loved ones surrounded by vibrant paintings by Alnashashibi.
