A Middle Eastern restaurant from the team behind Suerte, Este and Bar Toti is headed to East Austin. The space will be located between the Cherrywood and Rogers-Washington-Holy-Cross neighborhoods.
What’s in a name
Karaz—named after the Arabic word for cherry—will be led by Executive Chef Alejandra Kuri, who currently serves as the Chef de Cuisine at Este.
“I’m excited about being able to grow within a team that has believed in me since I was making eggs at Suerte’s brunch. There’s so much intention and love put into everything they do,” said Kuri. “Together, we have the dream of creating a place where everybody feels welcome and that celebrates Middle Eastern hospitality, all while honoring the community we’re in.”
