WELCOME TO BATATA

Batata was inspired by the traditional Middle Eastern foods we grew up with- we crave it, we love it, we need it. Coming from a long family lineage of tahini and falafel makers, it felt natural to open our own little cozy and comforting neighbourhood restaurant.

We imagined batata as fun and inviting; the kind of place where our neighbors could come to munch on delicious falafel while playing a round of backgammon, otis redding playing in the background.

We call it batata, which means sweet potato in hebrew, because it captures what we have created- a place that is humble and nourishing but also a bit of a treat. we are so excited to see our vision become a reality, and to share our enthusiasm with you.
