STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. Founded on their mother’s Middle Eastern-inspired recipes, members of the Deib family Palestinians who immigrated to the United States from the West Bank have built their restaurant model around home-cooked meals they grew up eating for lunch and dinner.
“My mother (Jehad Deib) was a great cook. And we use all her recipes in our restaurants. All of our recipes are made from scratch,” said Malek Deib, of Taheni Mediterranean Grill, which is the newest addition to the Staten Island Mall’s Food District in New Springville.
