Khaled J.

Business Owner

Growing up the youngest in a large family, my mother and sisters always fed me the best of their cooking. Growing up I just loved eating fresh, organic and wholesome foods that were prepared with much labor and love.I arrived in New York City in 1989 to study computer engineering. To support myself, I started cooking in restaurants and found out that I very much liked the rush, joy, and creativity that came with working in a busy New York restaurant.Upon graduating in 2000 I started working and the more my life settled in America the more I felt I had to do something that would keep me connected to my roots.  Opening Baladi, I thought, is a great way for me to do what I love, share part of my culture with people, and serve dishes that are as delicious as they are healthy.Today, Baladi Mediterranean Café has cultivated a reputation for great tasting, fresh and healthy Middle Eastern  foods where customers relax in a welcoming and comfortable environment.
