Chef Amir Hajimaleki is paying homage to his Persian roots with a one-night-only kabob pop-up event. This family-style Persian dinner promises a first taste of the Iranian chef’s forthcoming concept, Roya, meaning “dream.” Proceeds from ticket sales will benefit Austin Food & Wine Alliance’s Culinary Grant Program. 

For the pop-up event, Chef Amir Hajialeki will grill and serve a variety of kabobs including koobideh using locally-sourced meat from Capra Lamb. The family-style dinner will also feature dishes made with grilled vegetables and a Persian dessert served with cardamom tea. William Chris Vineyards will provide a selection of red and white wines along with a Petillant Naturel toast to kick off the evening.
