To the people of New Castle and beyond that we’ve had the pleasure of serving,
Our parents, Nahla and Haisam Mansour, started this restaurant in 1994 after migrating to the US. They learned the language and worked tirelessly everyday and built a business that’s stood for 30 years. The true American Dream fulfilled. Our mother put in over 80 hours every week to bolster her business alongside her Aunt Ilham and her mother Afifeh. We watched as our mother devoted all of her love into the food she made and customers she met.
We only wish our parents could have seen what they built. Our father passed on December 10, 2008. Through this adversity, our mother became a superwoman to us as she raised us and continued to spearhead her business. She came to work everyday, even after countless brutal cancer treatments. And after a long battle with breast cancer, our mother passed on June 8, 2017. Having seen her devotion, we hoped to continue to serve her recipes at the same caliber and standard she held herself to. We were blessed to have countless family and friends around us for support, and give glory to God for every blessing.
While we were heart broken in making this decision, we’ve learned how short and precious life truly is and are excited for where the future takes us. We are eternally grateful for everything our family provided for us and the sacrifices they made. They’ve laid the foundation for something we hope to build on in our future endeavors.
We have been honored to serve this community and thank all of our customers who we’ve crossed paths and shared stories with over the years. We are also thankful to all those who’ve worked with us and became apart of the family. We hope to see you through the end of the week.
30 years. Thank you so much.
— Touni and Nicole Mansour
