Levant s journey began as a passion project, born out of the owners desire to connect with their diverse backgrounds. Abu Dakka, half Palestinian and half Turkish-Syrian, and Al Ajami, half Moroccan and half Syrian, both born and raised in Dubai, embarked on this culinary adventure during their time as students at Jeonbuk National University. The homesickness and the need for familiar food prompted them to create a restaurant that not only offered a taste of home but also introduced their unique blend of cultures to the local community.
Dublin’s Derrek Brown was recently recognized for his work as a culinary instructor by the Center for the Advancement of Foodservice Education (CAFÉ) and the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC).
