Growing up in Beirut, Lebanon, Ibrahim learned to cook at his father’s side. When he arrived in San Jose in the 1980s, he found work in the high-tech industry, and was excited to be part of the early start-up culture of Silicon Valley.
Fast forward 25 years, and after a long, successful career, he made the decision to pursue the passion for food that he had put aside as a young man. In 2009, Falafel Fresh was established and Ibrahim has been serving the best falafel and gyros in the Bay Area ever since.
