The Boys at Samoon have a remarkable story of resilience, perseverance, and passion for their craft. When they first arrived in Australia, they faced significant challenges, including a language barrier and cultural differences that made it challenging to adapt to their new environment. Despite the obstacles, they remained determined to succeed and knew that their skills and expertise could bring value to their new community.
Having worked in restaurants back in Iraq, they had a deep understanding of Middle Eastern cuisine and the techniques used to create authentic and delicious dishes. They were eager to share their knowledge and skills with their new community, but the language barrier made it challenging to communicate and connect with others.
Fortunately, they met some friends of friends who were born in Australia but spoke Arabic and knew about Middle Eastern cuisine. This connection proved to be invaluable, as it gave them an opportunity to learn more about how businesses work in Australia and improve their English-speaking and understanding skills.
Over the next few years, they dedicated themselves to volunteering and learning as much as they could about their new home. They spent countless hours studying and researching, honing their culinary skills and developing new recipes that would appeal to the Australian palate while staying true to their cultural roots.
Finally, in 2019, just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit, they decided to take a risk and open an Iraqi restaurant with the friends they had learned from. They were confident in their abilities and proud to bring the taste of their old home, Iraq, to their new home, Australia.
The restaurant was an instant success, and Samoon quickly developed a loyal following. Their authentic recipes and dedication to using fresh ingredients and traditional methods were a hit with locals and tourists alike. Samoon take pride in offering a unique dining experience that transports diners straight to the heart of the Middle East.
Today, Samoon is thriving, and the restaurant is a testament to the boy's hard work and dedication. They have overcome language barriers, cultural differences, and financial challenges to achieve their dream of sharing their passion for Middle Eastern cuisine with the world.
