From the Sumac kitchen
What to get.
Falafel, homemade bread, mezze, and a bright pinch of sumac — start here.
Falafel, your way
Crisp and herb-packed — wrapped in saj, served as a plate, or stuffed with onion and sumac.
Bread & mezze
Homemade bread, still warm, for scooping up hummus and red-pepper-and-walnut muhammara.
Something warm
Homemade lentil soup finished with croutons, fresh parsley, lemon, sumac, and bread on the side.
Our namesake
A little tang. A lot of character.
Sumac is a deep-red spice made from the fruit of the sumac plant.
Bright, earthy, and gently tart, it brings lift to the food we love. That simple balance is what we want Sumac to feel like too: warm, vivid, and never overcomplicated.
