Coming Soon: Fat Pasha, a Middle Eastern restaurant from Rose and Sons chef Anthony Rose
Anthony Rose, the chef and co-owner of Rose and Sons and Big Crow, is opening yet another restaurant on Dupont Avenue. Fat Pasha, which takes over the former Indian Rice Factory space this spring, will be just as casual and rambunctious as Rose’s other two restaurants. Instead of burgers or barbeque, though, the new spot will focus on Middle Eastern cuisine.
“I love Israel,” Rose says. “It’s so laid-back. Nobody worries too much about manners.” At Fat Pasha, that easygoing attitude will inform everything from the decor to the menu, which will stick to the kind of colourful Israeli street food made popular by celeb chef Yotam Ottolenghi. (Rose is a big fan.) That means casual snacks, like hummus, shawarma and shakshuka, a traditional Israeli egg dish. “This isn’t fine-dining,” Rose explains. “It is what it is: unapologetically delicious.”
Rose’s newest restaurant will also be his largest: there will be 50 seats in the main restaurant, plus a sprawling patio and a separate private dining room. As for the restaurant’s name, Rose explains that it’s a Turkish phrase used to describe a powerful man. In this case, that’s Rose. (“Oh yeah, I’m the fat pasha here.”) A fitting title, to be sure.

Since when was Shawarma, and hummus considered Israeli food. The Zionists have not only stole the land, but the culture aswell? “occupied palestine” edit post
Since when is your opinion matters
Your people are born to hate even your own kind
You sacrifice young children as though they are dogs
Oh I have 8,9 kids one more or one less won’t make a difference instead of teaching, building, making a better future all you people like to do is destroy and ruin other innocent people’s lives
In Jerusalem, one of the best cookbooks I’ve ever used, Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi explore cross-cultural influences of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian communities on the city’s culinary offerings. Both men were born in Jerusalem in the same year—Tamimi on the Arab east side and Ottolenghi in the Jewish west.
Karam, I’m not sure if Shawarma, and hummus considered Israeli food but Israel for sure makes its better. Please stop with your hate… Thank you very much. I love Rose & Sons , Big Crow and I’m sure fat pasha will be amazing too!!! best of luck and mazal tov guys…
Go find somewhere else to spew your vitriol.
Nobody wants it here.
Can’t wait!!! I am sure it will be awesome.
Nobody cares what you think. go make something of your life instead of trying to ruin other’s.
i wanted to say here we go, ISIS is here but realized it was posted a year ago. so, let’s hope karam has already joined it and is fighting bravely somewhere else right now:)
