About us

From the Heart of Lebanon to the
Streets of India

“Al Taza” means “fresh” in Arabic — and that is our promise in every bite. From full-meat shawarmas and crispy falafel to soya shawarmas, hummus plates, and over 21 varieties of mouth-watering dishes, every item is made using high-quality ingredients, homemade sauces, and freshly baked breads. For over six years, we have proudly served authentic Middle Eastern cuisine in Kochi and beyond. Whether it’s a quick snack or a hearty meal, Al Taza stands for great taste, warm service, and unbeatable freshness.

Al Taza was born from a passion for Middle Eastern cuisine and a mission to deliver shawarma the way it was meant to be: rich in flavor, crafted with care, and served in style. We fuse traditional Lebanese recipes with a modern flair to create a luxurious yet approachable dining experience.Whether you’re a die-hard foodie or a health-conscious eater, we promise freshness, hygiene, and flavor in every bite. At Al Taza, safety isn’t an option—it’s a standard. Our kitchens operate with the highest food safety protocols, using only the freshest ingredients and authentic spices.

Why Al Taza?

At Al Taza, we believe that food is not just nourishment—it’s an experience. Rooted in authentic Lebanese culinary traditions and reimagined for the modern Indian palate, Al Taza is more than a restaurant—it’s a celebration of flavor, health, and hospitality. Our mission is to serve deliciously wholesome meals that delight food lovers while respecting the values of freshness, hygiene, and affordable indulgence. With a growing presence of 18 outlets across India, we are committed to offering an elevated yet accessible dining experience to everyone who walks through our doors—or orders from their home.

“Because you deserve shawarma that’s seriously delicious”

Thoughtful Hospitality

  • Customers First: Whether you’re dining in or ordering online, we aim for friendly, personalized service.

 

  • Staff Trained to Care: Our team is trained not just to serve, but to connect, recommend, and respond with empathy.

Exceptional Taste

  • Flavor as Loyalty Driver: Memorable flavor is the heart of repeat business. Al Taza must consistently deliver on flavor expectations to keep customers coming back.

 

  • Freshness Equals Flavor: Using fresh, quality ingredients enhances the richness and depth of taste. Daily sourcing, small-batch prep, and custom spice blends reinforce this commitment.

 

  • Signature Recipes: Developing unique sauces, marinades, and house specialties (like the Royal Shawarma) reinforces a distinct identity in the customer's palate.

Uncompromising Hygiene

  • Trust Through Transparency: Open kitchen formats and visible hygiene signage assure customers of food safety.
  • Standard Operating Procedures: Regular audits, checklists, and training ensure hygiene isnot just a policy—it’s a practiced culture.

Cultural Authenticity

  • True to Roots: Use traditional Lebanese methods (slow roasting, zaatar spice, tahini dips) to retain genuine flavors and textures.

 

  • Visual Storytelling: Decor elements, staff attire, and menu descriptions can subtly educate and immerse customers in the Middle Eastern dining culture.

 

  • Ingredient Integrity: Avoid shortcuts that dilute authenticity—use olive oil, sumac, and fresh pita instead of commercial substitutes.
