Mouhamad Shami founded Alfanoose in 1999 in New York City’s Financial District. Shami is a lover of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and a purist at heart, so when he couldn't find a restaurant in New York that prepared true Syrian and Lebanese food as he knew it, he created Alfanoose! p>

He discovered that most restaurants would offer their falafel dripping with oil, and served their shawarma with non-marinated meat. He also noticed that the main principle for creating good falafel – lightly fried in fresh oil – was often ignored by many restaurants due to the high cost of replenishing the oil in the fryer.

He decided to offer New Yorkers a taste of authentic, healthy Middle Eastern food – an alternative to the commercial variety found on corner stands, or in other neighborhoods in the city. Today, Mouhamad, along with the help of his wife Miram, runs a larger and more elegant Alfanoose at their new location at 8 Maiden Lane.

Rain or shine, loyal customers line up around the block to eat their favorite dish. Mouhamad rolls the falafel in a way that sets it apart from all the rest. Alfanoose means “brings luck to whoever carries the magic lantern”. Treat yourself to the authentic cuisine of Alfanoose. Miram and Mouhamad guarantee that you will taste the difference.
