Chef Rabah | Algeria
Chef Rabah brings the warmth, hospitality, and rich culinary traditions of Algeria to Feast World Kitchen. Originally from Algeria—a country known for its beautiful Mediterranean coastline, vibrant culture, and vast Sahara—Rabah loves sharing a taste of home with the Spokane community. For Chef Rabah, food is about more than a meal. It is a way to care for others, bring people together, and share the traditions of family and culture. His dishes are full of the spices, aromas, and comforting flavors of Algerian cuisine.
Don’t miss his popular Lamb Tagine, traditional Algerian Couscous, refreshing mint tea, and other flavorful specialties. Come meet Chef Rabah and experience Algeria through his food!

Through food, they share a piece of home—the traditions, spices, and flavors of Bangladesh—with everyone who visits Feast. Don’t miss their flavorful, spicy biryani and other delicious dishes that showcase the warmth and richness of Bangladeshi cuisine.
Friday, October 9th
Chef Shaista | Afghanistan
When Shaista and her family joined Feast, she was a stay-at-home mother raising five children. Having never worked outside the home or attended school, navigating resources and opportunities for her family felt overwhelming.
What many people didn’t see was the incredible experience she had already gained by managing a large household and cooking for her family every day.
Shaista decided to take a chance on herself. She began cooking in our restaurant while learning English and building new skills. Through hard work, determination, and a willingness to learn, she continued to grow year after year.
Today, Shaista can successfully lead a restaurant kitchen and has also secured a part-time job at Amazon. Financially, her family is in a much stronger position than when they first arrived, and she has even been able to save money to help two of her children get married.
Saturday, October 10th
Chef Khu | Burma
Meet Khu, a passionate home cook who loves exploring different cuisines and sharing food as a way to connect with others. She is excited to introduce authentic Burmese cuisine to the Spokane community, offering bold flavors and unique traditions inspired by the rich culture of Myanmar. We originally met Khu's extended family through neighborhood outreach efforts on the lower south hill, and we are so happy she has decided to join our Feast chef community!
Through her cooking, Khu hopes to create memorable dining experiences, bring people together, and help more people discover a cuisine that is still new to Spokane.
Sunday, October 11th
Chef Salvatore | Italian
Did you know that Family is a central aspect of Italian culture, with means and free time often centered around loved ones? This is prevalent in Chef Salvatore’s food, which we are grateful to have you join us for. Chef Salvatore was born in Spokane but grew up in an Italian household in Venezuela. There he learned to love (and prepare) many delicious meals that were always a part of Sunday lunch.
