We are proudly Middle Eastern and like any good Arabs we do lamb in all it's glorious forms and vegetarian/vegan cuisine hella good!
History
Established in 2010.
A long time before the Chef-to-be was old enough to wield a fillet knife, the Max could be found in his mother's kitchen, quietly observing.
A master in her own right, Max's mother is largely credited for instilling a love of food in him at an early age.
Max's brother, Samer Elias, owns and operates Sam's by the Beach Restaurant.
True to his roots and inspired by this culinary legacy, Max Ibrahim launched his newest venture, the Gourmet Genie food truck, in 2010.
The fast-paced family business was contrived as a way to conduct market research but the early response of food bloggers and would-be critics alike convinced him to press on as a street food vendor.
The Gourmet Genie's wholesome Mediterranean fare is halal, kosher and organic, and includes such staples as hummus and couscous but is probably most popular for the Merguez sausage & hummus (now available in a wrap!)and Lamb Sliders with Garlic Fries.
