Today is International Women's Day. Instead of highlighting a specific woman who has influenced us, we want to recognize that every day should be a celebration of women. We would like to express our gratitude to all the women around the world who continually inspire and empower us to be better every day. 🌹 🌹 👩🏻‍🍳 👩 ❤️ #tawakal #arountheworld #love #womensday #internationalwomensday #women #womenempowerment #womenpower #happywomensday #girlpower #love #woman #march #feminism #strongwomen #blogger #womenempoweringwomen #womeninspiringwomen #motivation #inspiration #feminist #instagood #womensmarch #womensrights #instagram #happy #photography #equality (at Tawakal Halal Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiuE0cugJS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Over the past few weeks, days, hours, and minutes, I have had some amazing things happen in my life that I wanted to share with you and the world! 1st, I was nominated a Semi-finalist for @beardfoundation as Best Chef in the Northeast! Every day that goes by, it hit us the significant achievement and the testament to our culinary skills and hard work #Stilladreaming 2nd, I got a letter in the mail that I was a recipient for the most prestigious award, Chelsea Trailblazer Award! From Chelsea Black Community #Blessed 3rd, I received a text message from the amazing city councilor Gabriela "Gigi" Coetta @gigi4district1 telling me, she chose to honor us with a resolution at the city of Boston! #justwow There is so much to say here but I want to take a moment to say thank you James Beard Foundation, Chelsea Black Community, Councilor Coletta, City of Boston and to everyone that has supported us! We could not have achieved these accomplishments without the support of so many people. We want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us along the way, including our dedicated team, volunteers, and community members. It is because of your unwavering support and encouragement that we were able to accomplish what we have. We are truly honored to have received these recognitions, and we are committed to continuing our efforts to make our community a better place for all. Once again, thank you for your support, and we look forward to continuing our work with renewed energy and commitment.

I am still trying to figure out if we are in the semifinalist for the @beardfoundation or if this is just a dream!!! This recognition feels like the day my family and I were told that we were coming to America after running away from our home because of a civil war and living in a refugee camp for many years! It's hard to put any words together how much we appreciate the love we've gotten from the day we opened our doors until now! This is the Dream that became a Reality ❤️ Love,  Yahya Noor #tawakal #bestchef #humble #love #dedication #jamesbeardaward #2023 #committed #jbfa #axios #bostoneater #boston25news #masslive #forbes #wcvb #boston #bostonglobe #blogger #instagram #thankyou (at Tawakal Halal Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cn97n3FOlxk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When you have short staffing dilemma and you want to continue to serve, what you do is bring your kids to work and have your customers baby sat 😆 ❤️ #tawakal #family #momscooking #bestcustomers #community #love #eastie #hiring #hiringonthespot (at Tawakal Halal Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmxkSZMMrUb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hello Friends and Family, We know everyone is facing the difficulty of staffing and we are not immune to that! We tried to run our kitchen with our skeleton crew but that is not enough for us to provide consistency in our product and services, as well maintain our sanity, this is currently the only way we see possible. We will close our doors until we are able to staff fully. While we eagerly await to find a Host and a Cook we are still here to cater for your next event, no order is too small. Email us at [email protected] or give us a call at 6174185890. When we come back to open our doors, we are going to have a limited menu and reduced hours to reset. We will continue to try to hire and train new staff members. If you or anyone is looking to work with our family, do please reach out at the restaurant and/or email at [email protected]. We apologize for any inconvenience! We sincerely appreciate your support and look forward to feeding you. Keep us in your thoughts as we try to navigate this and keep Tawakal alive ❤️ #Tawakal #temporarilyclosed #needemployment #community #thankyouforyoursupport #catering #openonlineorder #eastboston #eastie #boston https://www.instagram.com/p/Cme3fKnOouw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
