Taza Falafel Shawarma & Kabob on James Swart Circle in Fairfax. The founder are Tony Abdelmalek and Grayson Shurett. Taza’s journey began in 2014 in the heart of the Mediterranean – Egypt. Founder, Tony Abdelmalek, returned to Egypt to celebrate his heritage and reconnect with his roots. While traveling the corridors of Cairo, he took notice to the street food that lined the roads. Tony became infatuated with the idea of bringing this piece of Egypt back with him to the United States. Tony immediately began developing his traditional family recipes to create truly authentic falafel with made-from-scratch ingredients. Abdelmalek teamed up with Grayson Shurett and Taza began as a pop-up falafel stand in 2014 on the University of Georgia’s east campus. Now Taza supplies kitchens across the U.S. with authentic made-from-scratch falafel, allowing chefs and food fanatics to improve their menus and diets while bridging a few cultures along the way.
