Our Story
A Journey of Resilience and Flavor
Welcome to Mangal Mediterranean, where every dish tells a story of resilience, passion, and family. Our journey began in Syria and brought us to the United States, where we, the Alhariri family, have built a new life. Founded by Khaled Alhariri and his brothers, Qasem and Mohamad, with the guidance of our father, Mangal Mediterranean is a testament to the strength of family bonds and the rich culinary traditions of our homeland.
From Syria to a New Beginning
Forced to leave Syria due to war, our family arrived in the United States as refugees, united by hope and determination. Despite the challenges, we remained steadfast in our dream of sharing the flavors of Syria with our new community.
Building Mangal Mediterranean
Starting small, we cooked traditional dishes that quickly gained a loyal following for their authenticity and vibrant flavors. Encouraged by this success, we opened Mangal Mediterranean. Khaled leads the kitchen, Qasem manages operations, and Mohamad sources the freshest ingredients, while our father continues to pass down time-honored recipes.
