Valentine’s Day Special Dinner

By Events 2 Comments

Valentine’s day dates back to Roman times. For many years, the Western world celebrated Valentine’s Day while other watched. Red roses, heart shaped balloons and stuffed animals are now also for sale everywhere in the world. The whole world smiles on couples every February 14th.

Valentine’s Day Evolution

It wasn’t always like this. Egyptian florists used to be forbidden to sell red roses on Valentine’s Day. Saudi Arabian’s weren’t able to celebrate it openly until 2017.

In recent times, the Arab world opted into the love holiday. Couples go out for an intimate dinner, restaurants often offer a special menu for the day. Chocolate will be there, but Persians for example prefer what they call Love Cake. The legend goes that a Persian girl fell in love with a prince and served him this cake garnished with pistachios and rose petals.

You will find our delicious Arabic food is perfect for sharing with your significant other. You and your sweetheart can enjoy a beautiful meal together while listening to romantic Arab love songs. They sound sweeter played on the oud, one of the oldest stringed instruments.

Share some mouthfuls from our delicious dishes and decadent desserts, laugh and talk. When conversation lulls, gaze into each other’s eyes as the music flows through you.

Galentine’s Day

If you find yourself dreading Valentine’s Day as it draws near, don’t worry. February 13, the day before Valentine’s Day has become known as Galentine’s Day. This is a day for women everywhere to celebrate their female friendships. Whether you are single by choice or by circumstance, this day is for you (and your friends).

Believe it or not, a fictional character on a TV series in 2010 invented Galentine’s Day. It’s often marked by gathering up all your female friends and going out to eat together. That is what they did in the show. Single or not, it’s a day to forget about Valentine’s Day and instead laugh, share, catch up over great food. Two strong women co-own our café and we opened it in tribute to our mothers and grandmothers cooking. The fresh and healthy Arabic food is based on many of the recipes they passed down. Make a reservation for you and your besties (BFFs) at Yafa Cafe on February 13th. You can enjoy and share our delicious food. We even promise to have decadent chocolate desserts on the menu for you.
