Our Story
It all began in Aleppo, Syria, a city once known for its breathtaking beauty, vibrant souks, and aromas of spices that filled every street corner.
Amid the chaos of war and loss, one family held tightly to the one thing that never left them, their love for food, family, and hope.
Mohamed, his mother, and his brothers escaped the destruction of their homeland with little more than courage in their hearts and a dream in their hands; The American Dream. They arrived in the U.S. as strangers in a new world, carrying memories of home in their hearts and recipes passed down through generations.
They worked tirelessly in restaurant kitchens, washing dishes, chopping vegetables, and grilling meats, learning not just the American way of hard work, but mastering how to blend it with the deep, soulful flavors of Syria. Every long day and sleepless night brought them closer to their dream.
One day, they decided it was time to stop building other people’s dreams and build their own.
With whatever little savings they had, they opened their first restaurant: Syrian Shawarma.
What started as a humble family spot quickly became a phenomenon. People drove from hours away, some even crossing state lines, just to taste the shawarma that reminded them what real food is supposed to taste like: authentic, pure, and made with love.
But for Mohamed and his family, this was just the beginning. They wanted to share more than shawarma. They wanted to share the soul of Syrian cuisine, the stews that tell stories, the bread that feels like home, and the spices that carry memories of Aleppo’s golden days.
That dream became Rosto.
