38 Essential Restaurants: Tambayan

Congratulations to our client Tambayan who was recently listed on Eater’s 38 Essential Restaurants!

No list of Philly’s best restaurants would be complete without a shoutout to a Reading Terminal stall, and what better vendor to highlight than Kathy Mirano and her Filipino breakfast and lunch spot, Tambayan? Mirano got her start working at Reading Terminal over twenty years ago, so the opening of her own location was a full-circle moment. The fried lumpia, Filipino spaghetti, stuffed pandesal rolls, and tinadtad stew are wonderful — but don’t skip dessert. The ube macarons are one of a kind.

Client Spotlight: Little Marrakesh Bazaar

Meet Chakir!

I was born in the plateaued town of Oarzazate, Morocco, just south of Northern Africa’s resource-rich Atlas Mountains. My story began in a town known as the gateway to the Sahara Desert. My hometown is my heritage, and I owe it so much: from the “Liquid Gold” argan oil, the most expensive spice in the world, to the lovely and strong wood of the thuya tree, it also gave me a front seat to Earth’s exquisite bounty and the artisans who brilliantly craft from it.

I moved to the United States in 2005. My love of fine craftsmanship brought him to Philadelphia’s historic Jewelers’ Row. There, I sold unique engagement rings, created custom pieces and learned to repair and maintain fine jewelry. In 2014, I decided to bring my heritage to the United States and built this shop: Little Marrakesh Bazaar.

I built Little Marrakesh Bazaar to offer the most authentic of Moroccan handcrafted homegoods for discerning shoppers and gift-givers. I work with local artisans directly, flying on a regular basis to my home and carefully selecting each piece I want to share with you.
