Beginnings in Afghanistan

Roots in Afghan Tradition

In the heart of Afghanistan, Wajeeha Akbaryan discovered the love for cooking, inspired by the nation’s vibrant culinary heritage. Blending Persian, Central Asian, and South Asian influences, dishes like Kabuli Pulao became the foundation of her journey.

A Journey of Hope and Perseverance

The Refugee Experience

Forced to leave their homeland, Wajeeha and her family embarked on a journey of resilience and hope. Facing the challenges of displacement, she found solace in cooking, using it as a way to preserve her culture and bring comfort to her loved ones. This chapter of her life shaped her strength and deepened her passion, laying the groundwork for the dreams she would later realize.

Here, they share the flavors of Afghanistan, creating a space where tradition meets community, and every dish tells a story of resilience and new opportunities.
