Huda was inspired by owner Gehad Hadidi’s childhood spent with his grandmother in Damascus. This is his second restaurant In New York, following the revitilization of La Bonne Soupe In Midtown, a New York City Institution since 1973. Prior to his restaurant career, Gehad spent his childhood between Detroit and Damascus until he moved to Beirut in his early 20’s. It was there that he found a place where his two worlds were combined and he immediately fell in love.
