MAZRA - Redwood City

Welcome to Mazra, our cozy Mediterranean hangout right here in the Bay Area. We're the Makableh brothers, Jordan and Saif, and we've brought a piece of our heart from Amman, Jordan, to share with you. This whole adventure is a family affair, deeply rooted in our love and respect for where we come from. We're here to dish out some vibrant Levantine flavors and wrap you up in the warm, welcoming vibes of Mediterranean hospitality. Our culinary journey kicked off in 2012 when Saif dove headfirst into the world of food, fueled by a passion that's been simmering in our family for generations. Thanks to the secret recipes and tricks from our mom, grandmas, and dad, and a significant stint in Sydney, Australia (Little Beirut), Saif's self-taught skills took on a life of their own. Armed with this rich heritage and a personal twist, he came back to the Bay Area, ready to spice things up with an authentic Levantine dining experience. When Jordan jumped on board, we pitched this crazy idea to our dad, who had been running the beloved Green Valley Market since 2005. Rather than saying goodbye to the market, we envisioned transforming it into a vibrant Mediterranean restaurant that would celebrate the diverse flavors and techniques of the Levant. Dad gave us his blessing, and just like that, Mazra was born.
