Who we are

More than a restaurant. A turning point.

Amal creates a community around a common thread: we believe in the power of good food to change lives, to bring people together and nourish body and soul. Our students are at the heart of everything we do, and we've built Amal around them, their needs and their aspirations. We want every woman who comes through our program to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that you deserve to be here.
