Going back in time to celebrate creatives in their element, when the art world was more raw and simple and the Salons of the 19th century were packed with mixed art from floor to ceiling.

KAVE has always celebrated artists and their stories from all walks of life whether they expressed themselves in painting, music, literature, food, or poetry.

So join us for our first Art Salon.  Come meet the mixed media artists we are celebrating and see their work  alongside food and music that highlight the cultural background of each artist.

Food by

Enjoy the night with traditional Falafel and Knafeh from Omar Odali and Haya’s Kitchen

Omar is the proud culinary student of his mother and will be live cooking his Knafeh from scratch with ingredients from his hometown of Beita, Palestine. In Arabic, Beita means ‘home’ and that is exactly the feeling you feel when eating his Nabulsi Knafeh. The best Nabulsi Knafeh in town.

Haya’s Kitchen is an experience-based concept that’s a tribute to Palestine, Tetas and Traditions. Haya runs sufra dinners to bring people together around a communal table, workshops to preserve the ancestral traditions and skills, and pop ups to spread the love for street food. Her Falafel is second to none and her sandwiches are addictive.
