About
Owner José Mizrahi opened this restaurant in 1999 and named it in honor of his Syrian Sephardic grandmother. His idea was to bring to the public the kind of food he remembers eating while growing up, updating it with the international influences that are all the rage in Argentina. He does much of the cooking himself, and chicken dishes are his favorite thing to make. After that, he recommends his fish and rice salad dishes, served in large enough portions for a table full of patrons to share and enjoy together. French, Japanese, and Italian sausages are grilled on the parrilla and can be sampled as starters. Pasta lovers can choose from a wide selection, all custom-made in the restaurant. Try also the kibbe, a kind of meat-filled dumpling.
