Hossein’s opens in Gateway Mall 2
Persian culinary excellence arrives in Araneta City with Hossein’s Persian Kebab, an authentic dining experience featuring the finest Middle Eastern dishes.
Established in 1985, Hossein’s has been the go-to place for Persian, Arabic, Indian, and Mediterranean cuisine in the country. Owned and managed by Chef Hossein Sohrabi Langroudi, the restaurant offers an immersive experience that showcases the vibrant flavors of Persian cuisine using authentic cooking techniques that have been handed down from one generation to the next.
A bridge from the old world of West Asia to the Philippines
Considered as one of the first pioneering Middle Eastern cuisine restaurants in the Philippines, Hossein’s serves as the bridge and gateway between two cultures. Chef Hossein showcases his culture, Persia’s history, and his family’s tradition at the dining table, serving delicacies that he has learned since childhood and adding his own modern twist while incorporating cuisine from the Middle East.
