Our Mission

HESHIMA (he-shi-ma)
Origin: Swahili
Noun: Respect. Honor. Dignity. Community

The concept of being a good host seems to be a dying breed.  How many times have you gone to someone's house for dinner, and it felt like little thought went into the food, drinks,  and conversation?  Or how about going to a restaurant, and you only end up leaving with a hefty check and an un-memorable experience.  At HESHIMA, we invite you into an intimate and exclusive dining experience. For us, it isn't just about the food and environment, it's also about community and learning something new, in order to bring back to your own home to showcase to friends.  To connect with other people that get just as nerdy about the process of making whiskey, or how the cuisines you grew up aren't anything close to how they are in their respective countries.
