In October 2019, The Migrant Kitchen was born. A long-dreamt-of catering business that focused on providing meaningful opportunities for immigrants to showcase the cuisines and cultures of their home countries.  As we battled the global pandemic, we expanded from a standard catering operation to serving frontline healthcare workers and opening brick and mortar restaurants.

We continue to change the way we live and eat. Our operation has quickly grown into something much greater and even more fulfilling.  TMK has served nearly 4 million meals to food insecure communities across NYC in partnership with our non-profit, The Migrant Kitchen Initiative. To learn more about TMKI, please visit us here.

We realized over the last few years how important our original mission is to the growth of the immigrant community and educating our guests through culturally inspired dining experiences. Every day, we strive to fulfill our purpose by sharing everything we cook with the entire city.

Our locations in the Upper East Side, the Upper West Side, and Central Park serve American food inspired, prepared, and served by immigrants. We aim to prove that shawarma and carnitas are just as American as hamburgers and apple pie.
