A Pan-African Bistro & Wine Bar

Founded by Meymuna Hussein Cattan, an Ethiopian refugee and trained chef, Flavors From Afar was born from a simple belief: migration is beautiful.

Led by Princeton Afeez & Head Chef Jocelyn Salala, our kitchen celebrates the flavors and traditions of Africa and its diaspora, bringing together familiar dishes, thoughtful interpretations, and wines with roots across the continent.

Every plate and every pour tells a story of place, memory, and movement. Recipes passed down. Traditions carried across borders. A table where cultures meet.

At our heart is workforce development, creating opportunities for refugees, immigrants, and culture keepers to share their culinary knowledge while building careers in hospitality.

Flavors from Afar is a Pan-African Bistro & Wine Bar, a gathering place, and a home for culture, connection, and belonging.
