Kanaan

Kanaan The best Hummus in town. Israeli & Palestinian, Vegan/Vegetarian. The idea of working together, of coexistence and pluralism is our guiding light until today.

Deutsch:
Willkommen in Kanaan, eine israelisch-palästinensischen Zusammenarbeit, die 2015 von Oz Ben David (Israel) und Jalil Dabit (Palästina) gegründet wurde. Wir kommen beide aus Familien mit einer reichen kulinarischen Tradition und haben uns entschlos- sen, gemeinsam die Aromen, Gewürze und Kochmethoden, die wir von unseren Müttern, Vätern und Großeltern gelernt haben, nach Berlin zu br

ingen. Zuhause nennen wir es "einen Tisch zu öffnen": der Tisch ist mit frischen Salaten, Dips, Soßen, Hummus, gegrilltem Fleisch und handgemachtem Pitabrot bedeckt. In unseren Restaurants kreieren wir dieses festliches Geschmackserlebnis und bringen es von der Levante ins Herz Berlins - in einer vegan-vegetarischen Version. Wir nannten unser Projekt "Kanaan", der biblische Name der Region, die heute als Israel und Palästi- na bekannt ist, und als Erinnerung an den Geburtsort unseres Vaters Abraham und an die Tage, in denen wir alle als Brüder lebten, unter einem Gott, in einem Zelt. Wir wollten der Welt beweisen, dass ein Jude und ein Palästinenser friedlich zusammenarbeiten können und damit hoffentlich andere inspirieren. Die Idee der Zusammenarbeit, des Zusammenlebens und des Pluralismus ist bis heute unser Leitbild. Unsere Mitarbeiter geben das schönste Beispiel für unsere Ideale: Männer, Frauen, LGBTQ-Menschen aus Israel, Palästina und den ganzen Nahen Osten, Asien und Afrika, die alle unter einem Dach in Har- monie mit Frieden und gegenseitigem Respekt zusammenarbeiten. English:
Welcome to Kanaan, an Israeli-Palestinian collaboration founded by Oz Ben David (Israel) and Jalil Dabit (Palestine) in 2015. We both come from families with a rich culinary tradition and decided to join forces and bring the �lavours, spices and cooking methods we learned from our mothers, fathers and grandparent to Berlin. Back home we call it ‘to open a table’ and it’s the tradition in all middle eastern restaurants: the table is covered with fresh salads, dips, sauces, hummus, grilled meats and hand made handmade pita bread. In our restaurants, we recreate this lush, festive dining experience and bring it from the Levant to the heart of Berlin - in a vegan-vegetarian version. We named our project ‘Kanaan’, the biblical name of the region known today as Israel and Palestine, and as a reminder of the birthplace of Abraham, our father, and of the days in which we all lived as brothers, under one god, in one tent. We wanted to prove to the world that a jew and a palestinian can work peacefully together and hopefully inspire. Our employees set the most beautiful example of our ideals: men, women and LGBTQ people from Israel, Palestine and the entire middle east, Asia and Africa, all working together under one roof in harmony with peace and mutual respect.

🚨 Everyone Deserves Safety 🚨

The image above isn’t a game of hide and seek — it’s a heartbreaking reality. Bedouin children in the Negev hiding under a tractor from rocket fire because they have no bomb shelter to run to.

In recent days, we’ve seen the devastating damage caused by missiles from Iran. But what many don’t realize is that tens of thousands of Bedouin residents in the Negev are completely unprotected—left vulnerable with no safe place to seek refuge.

This isn’t just a natural disaster; it’s years of neglect and systemic injustice that have denied Bedouin communities basic safety and infrastructure.

🛑 It’s time to act. We’re launching an urgent campaign to fund bomb shelters for Bedouin villages. Every donation brings us closer to protecting lives — right here, right now.

Sometimes we hesitate before sharing the harder sides of running Kanaan. But we believe in showing the full picture.

This morning, we sent out a newsletter asking our community for support – not through donations, but by simply visiting the restaurant, buying a gift card, or leaving a review on Google.

We received many heartwarming, supportive responses. And then – we received this E-Mail.

We’re a migrant-run business, founded by an Israeli and a Palestinian. For ten years, we’ve built Kanaan with sweat, tears, and relentless hard work. Right now, we’re fighting for our existence – and we turned to our community for solidarity.

You don’t have to come. You don’t have to support us. But taking out your anger and grief on those of us living the pain of this war firsthand – that’s not solidarity. That’s just cruelty in disguise.

Every cent of profit – when there is any – goes directly into the peacebuilding work we lead at Kanaan, and into organizations that promote peace, dialogue, and human connection.

Justice is not achieved through self-righteousness.
And humanity is not expressed by belittling others.
We stand by our values: coexistence, empathy, and shared humanity – especially in times like these.

Dear Kanaan Family,

As we approach October 7th, we take a moment to honor the memories of our dear friends and family we lost over the past year. This day will be a time for reflection and remembrance, and our restaurant will be closed to allow us to focus on the love and support we’ve received from all of you.

Together, we’ve faced challenges, and together we will emerge stronger. We believe in building a brighter future, and we’re committed to fostering this spirit within our community.

We’ll be back on Tuesday, October 8th, ready to serve you with renewed energy and passion. Thank you for your understanding and support during this time.

With love,
The Kanaan Berlin Team 💛

Gratitude and Sweetness Before Bedtime

As I lay here reflecting on the day, I can’t help but feel overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible souls that surround us. We are truly blessed to have so many good, sweet people in our lives, and there are so many of you...

Let me share a heartwarming story about one of our neighbors, , who epitomizes kindness and compassion. She dropped by today to share a hug and express her apologies. The light of goodness that radiates from her hugs, kind words, and delicious sweet candy brought smiles to the faces of our entire team.

To all of you who support us, offer your help with cleaning, painting, and standing by our side in times of need, we are eternally grateful. Your willingness to lend a helping hand and be there for us means more than words can express. You all shine a bright light in our lives, and knowing that you are there for us fills our hearts with warmth and gratitude.

Thank you for being the pillars of strength and support in our lives. Your kindness and generosity do not go unnoticed, and we are so incredibly thankful for each and every one of you. Here’s to the power of community and the beauty of human connection. Good night, sweet dreams, and may we continue to spread love and positivity wherever we go. 💖🌟
