Beirut, Lebanon
a country of contrasts and diversities, a place
with many old traditions and much sophistication,
where modern Lebanon stands alongside ancient ruins
and old souks (market places), where trade still flourishes
and the aroma of exotic spices fills the air. This is where
I spent the first nineteen years of my life, never imagining
the incredible journey I would take. It was during those early years, working my summer
vacations in a spice factory, where I learned to mix many
exotic spices, and developed a love for healthy, flavorful
food as well as an understanding that healthy food did not
need to include any animal fats or additives in order to be
considered… delicious...! It was with this knowledge in 1988 that I arrived in
Belmont Shore - a neighborhood that I instantly fell in
love with, and had a vision. My vision then was to have
a restaurant focusing on serving guests the most healthy,
wholesome and delicious Lebanese food in a casual yet
somewhat exotic ambience. This vision, for me, became a reality in 1999 when
I opened the doors and welcomed my first guests
to Open Sesame. To all our loyal guests who have continued to support and
believe in us…we thank you and trust you will continue
to tell us that we are
“Your Favorite Restaurant”.
