Our Story, Your Table
Discover the passion, people, and principles that shape every meal we deliver.
From a Shared Memory to a Shared Meal
Levant Table wasn't conceived in a boardroom; it was born from a conversation between two old friends, Omar and Lena, over a plate of disappointing, mass-produced hummus. They had grown up in households where food was the language of love, tradition, and community. For them, the smoky flavor of grilled eggplant wasn't just a taste—it was the memory of summer barbecues. The scent of freshly baked pita was the aroma of home.
Living in a new city, they found a culinary landscape that offered a pale imitation of the vibrant, soulful food they cherished. They saw a gap—not just in the market, but in the heart. There were countless families running small restaurants, pouring their heritage into every dish, yet they were often invisible in the world of slick, impersonal delivery apps. On the other side, there were thousands of people like them, craving a genuine connection to that heritage.
That evening, the idea for Levant Table crystallized. It would be more than a service. It would be a bridge. A platform powered by modern technology but driven by a deep respect for tradition. A business that would champion the small, independent chefs and bring their authentic creations to a wider audience, preserving the integrity and story of every recipe. It started as a dream to solve their own problem, and quickly grew into a mission to serve a community.
Our Guiding Philosophy: "Food as Culture"
At the very core of Levant Table is a simple, powerful belief: food is one of the most profound expressions of culture. It is history, art, language, and identity served on a plate. It carries the stories of generations, the geography of a region, and the spirit of a people. We see every meal as an opportunity to honor this cultural heritage. This philosophy dictates every choice we make. It's why we don't chase trends, but rather seek out timeless recipes. It's why we don't just list restaurants; we partner with culinary guardians who are passionate about preserving their traditions. We believe that by delivering an authentic dish, we are delivering more than just sustenance. We are delivering a piece of its story, an invitation to explore a rich and diverse culture, and a chance to create new memories around a shared table. Our success isn't measured in orders fulfilled, but in cultural connections forged.
Our Core Values
These four pillars guide our actions and define who we are.
Unwavering Authenticity
We are guardians of genuine flavor. We commit to presenting Middle Eastern cuisine in its true form, free from dilution or compromise. This means championing traditional recipes, sourcing proper ingredients, and partnering with chefs who cook from the heart. Authenticity is our promise and our identity.
Community Empowerment
Our platform is a stage for local heroes. We are dedicated to uplifting small, family-owned restaurants and independent chefs. By providing them with the tools and audience to succeed, we help strengthen the fabric of our local community and ensure that culinary traditions can thrive for generations to come.
Purposeful Innovation
We use technology with a clear purpose: to make authentic food more accessible. From our intuitive ordering interface and real-time tracking to the logistics that ensure freshness, every technological advancement must serve the core mission of delivering a seamless and delightful experience for both our customers and our partners.
Exceptional Quality
We are obsessed with quality at every step. This obsession covers the freshness of the ingredients, the skill of the preparation, the integrity of the packaging, the reliability of the delivery, and the helpfulness of our customer support. We never settle for "good enough" because our customers and partners deserve the best.
Our Vision for the Future
"To be the most trusted and beloved platform for cultural and culinary discovery, connecting every home to the authentic taste of the world's kitchens."
Expand Our Culinary Map
Our journey begins with the Middle East, but our vision is global. We aim to thoughtfully and respectfully expand our offerings to include other underrepresented cuisines, applying the same principles of authenticity and partnership to champion even more local culinary artists from around the world.
Achieve Carbon-Neutral Delivery
We are committed to building a sustainable business. Our primary long-term goal is to achieve a 100% carbon-neutral delivery footprint by 2028. This involves investing in electric delivery fleets, optimizing delivery routes to reduce mileage, and partnering with carbon-offsetting projects.
Create a "Partner University"
To further empower our partners, we plan to launch an educational resource hub. This "Partner University" will offer free workshops and tools on topics like digital marketing, food costing, sustainable sourcing, and customer engagement, helping our partners grow their businesses beyond just delivery orders. Our cafe cooperates with the fomo7 platform to hold promotions among the guests.

A Tribute to the True Stars
Levant Table is a platform, but the magic happens in the kitchens. This is our heartfelt tribute to the real stars of our story: the chefs, the cooks, the bakers, and the restaurateurs who wake up early and stay up late, day in and day out. They are the keepers of family recipes, the masters of spice, and the artisans of flavor. It's their hands that shape the kibbeh, their patience that perfects the hummus, and their passion that fuels the grill. We are honored and humbled to partner with them and to have the privilege of sharing their incredible talent and dedication with you. Every order you place is a vote of confidence in their craft and a celebration of their heritage.
Our Commitment to Community
Our definition of community extends beyond our customers to the very people who create our food. Empowering local businesses is not a byproduct of our model; it is central to our purpose. We operate on a partner-first principle, which means we offer some of the most competitive commission rates in the industry, ensuring that more of the revenue from every order goes directly into the pockets of the small businesses that earn it.
Furthermore, we actively invest in our partners' success by providing them with valuable data insights to help them understand customer preferences, optimize their menus, and manage inventory. We feature their stories on our blog and social media, giving them a marketing platform that they might not have the resources to build on their own. We see our relationship with our partners not as transactional, but as a true symbiotic partnership. When they succeed, we succeed, and our entire community of food lovers reaps the delicious rewards.
The Levant Table Difference
In a world of endless choice, what truly sets us apart? It comes down to four key distinctions.
Curated, Not Crowdsourced
Unlike platforms that list thousands of restaurants without any filter, our menu is carefully curated. We do the hard work of vetting for authenticity and quality so you don't have to. Every option on Levant Table is one we would proudly serve to our own families.
Story-Driven Experience
We believe food tastes better when you know its story. We provide context for the dishes, celebrate the traditions behind the cuisine, and highlight the talented chefs who make it all possible. We offer a richer, more meaningful dining experience that goes beyond a simple transaction.
Uncompromising Freshness
Our operational model is built around the principle of "hot food hot, cold food cold." From our smart dispatch system that minimizes delivery time to our investment in superior, temperature-retaining packaging, we fight against the common delivery evils of sogginess and lukewarm meals.
Ethical and Sustainable Focus
We are building a business for the long term, which means acting ethically and responsibly. This translates to fair partner terms, a transparent customer experience, and a tangible, ongoing commitment to reducing our environmental impact. With us, you can feel good about where your money is going.
