The Restaurant
My Philosophy
These are my personal career philosophies I believe in; they are my career bible:
-
Fight for food integrity
-
Fresh is always better
-
Great cooking is a business of relationships
-
Professionalism equals Respect
-
Diversity and inclusion always win
-
Nutrition is particularly important
-
Food safety is a moral obligation
-
Chefs needs to be leaders, not dictators
-
Must understand flavor, and what wholesome meal means
-
Real cooks share and teach
-
Cooking is an intellectual profession and property
-
Food can and should be an experience
-
And finally, feed the homeless. Seeing such a global waste of food and inequality, breaks my heart.

Homeless Restaurant Week
Homeless Restaurant Week is one of my successful personal projects. I started 5 years ago feeding Baltimore's homeless after a touchy personal encounter with a homeless man. Giving back to the community was the right thing to do and it is always rewarding for the soul. It creates individual happiness and emotional intelligence. please visit chefstablefoundqation.com for more information.
On behalf of myself and Tabrizi's staff, we welcome you in our house. Restaurant, authentic Mediterranean, middle eastern food.

Restaurant Operation
Tue--Thursday 5 pm- 8:45 pm
Friday-Sat Kitchen closes at 9:00 PM
Eat at a local restaurant tonight. Get the cream sauce. Have a cold pint at 4 o’clock in a mostly empty bar. Go somewhere you’ve never been. Listen to someone you think may have nothing in common with you. Order the steak rare. Eat an oyster. Have a negroni. Have two. Be open to a world where you may not understand or agree with the person next to you but have a drink with them anyways. Eat slowly. Tip your server. Check in on your friends. Check in on yourself. Enjoy the ride.
