Chicago• Nashville• St.Joseph•Detroit 

Authentic Palestinian Breakfast, Styled & Served in Your Home.

In my culture, a meal is never just "dropped off" in a box, it is a sacred act of hospitality. To give you the true Mama Pita experience, I don't just cook the food; I arrive to personally transform your table and your morning.

Whether you are waking up at a lakefront rental or hosting a slow Sunday with the people you love, I handle the beauty so you can handle the memories.

The Menu: A Heritage Feast

A curated, multi-course savory spread designed for the table.

The Hearth: Signature Manakish Gallery

Hand-stretched, stone-baked flatbreads topped with the flavors of my childhood:

• Za’atar: Wild thyme, sumac, and premium cold-pressed olive oil.

• Akkawi: Melted traditional white cheese with the perfect salty pull.

• Spiced Meat (Sfiha): Savory ground beef with onions and Mediterranean spices.

• Golden Egg: Perfectly baked, seasoned, and served warm.

The Centerpiece: Shakshuka

Our signature spiced tomato and bell pepper reduction with poached eggs, finished with fresh herbs and a drizzle of olive oil.

• Not a Shakshuka fan? Ask for my Palestinian-style Turkish Eggs: Poached eggs over garlicky yogurt with warm spices, dried mint, and fried soujuk.

The Savory Essentials

• Fried Nabulsi Cheese: Authentic, salty sheep’s milk cheese seared until golden.

• Tata’s Foul w/ Hummus: Hearty fava beans and chickpeas slow-simmered with garlic and lemon, finished with a swirl of silky hummus.

• The Dipping Station: Premium Za’atar, cold-pressed olive oil, and house-made brined olives and pickles.

• The Refresher Palette:
An artistic curation of house brined olives and vibrant arabian pickles. 

The "Live Hearth" Private Chef Experience

The ultimate lakefront luxury. I bring the heart of the Levant into your kitchen.
