This is the story of Middle Eastern cuisine in a colourful and cosmopolitan city, for fans of Sabrina Ghayour's Persiana and Sirocco.

Haya Molcho:  was born in Tel Aviv in 1955 and moved to Vienna as a young child. Her first restaurant, NENI, was named after her four sons Nuriel, Elior, Nadiv and Ilan. Haya brought the eclectic flavours of Tel Aviv to the Austrian palette and her restaurant played a significant role in revitalising the struggling Austrian Naschmarkt.
