More Coming Soon! GEHAD HADIDIHuda was inspired by Chef-Owner Gehad Hadidi’s childhood spent with his grandmother in Damascus.

This is his second restaurant In New York, following the revitilization of La Bonne Soupe In Midtown, a New York City Institution since 1973.

Prior to his restaurant career, Gehad spent his childhood between Detroit and Damascus until he moved to Beirut in his early 20’s. It was there that he found a place where his two worlds were combined and he immediately fell in love.

When the Syrian civil war erupted next door to Lebanon, he relocated to New York to start a new career as an urban planner working on affordable housing, homelessness and electric vehicle infrastructure, with hopes of bringing those skills back home. 

Following his passion for food and his longing for the cuisine of his upbringing, Gehad attended the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) in New York. From there, he was introduced to the retiring owner of a charming French bistro and took the chance on becoming a restauranteur.

OMNEYAH HASSANChef Omneyah Hassan was born and raised in Queens from Egyptian parents that hail from Alexandria. She previously worked in the kitchens at Pasquale Jones and Legacy Records.

She draws inspiration from her family’s time spent around the dining table, sharing food and gossip.
