Mediterranean Sea and Architecture

OUR STORY

When Afia’s founder, Farrah Moussallati Sibai came to the U.S. to start over with her family in Texas, she saw a gap on grocery shelves where Middle Eastern and Mediterranean food should be.

With a little black book of recipes that traveled from Syria to Texas, Farrah and her husband Yassin went from the kitchen table, to a local farmers market, and now to thousands of stores across the country - making the vibrant, flavorful food they loved more accessible to everyone!

“Afia!” is a toast “to one’s health and well-being”, a reminder to brighten your table and uplift those around it. That’s why we make authentic, clean-ingredient food worth savoring that nourishes the body and the community.

"In the Eastern Mediterranean, food is how stories are told, memories are made, and people are welcomed.

Afia exists to carry that spirit forward, honoring tradition while fitting seamlessly into modern life."

We Say Afia!

The Eastern Mediterranean is a vibrant region where cultures, cuisines, and traditions overlap. It’s a place defined by generosity, bold spices, and meals meant to be shared.

Vivid heritage

The famous patterned tiles of Syria have always inspired our founder Farrah. Our patterns, colors, and textures are inspired by the art and architecture of the Eastern Mediterranean, from hand-painted tiles to the bowls passed around family tables. These details aren’t decorative to us; they’re part of the story.

Traditional flavors

These flavors have been passed down, shared, tweaked, and perfected around family tables for generations. We honor them by keeping recipes honest, ingredients real, and flavors bold, the way they were always meant to be enjoyed.
