Talerzyki Tales: Unveiling Palestinian Flavors with Co-owner Ayman in the Heart of Jezyce

Nestled in the heart of Jezyce at Wawrzyniaka 20, Talerzyki stands as a gastronomic oasis, offering a tantalizing journey into Palestinian cuisine. Co-owned by a Palestinian Pole born in Poznan, the restaurant boasts a menu brimming with unique Middle Eastern delicacies rarely found elsewhere. In a recent rendezvous, we sat down to delve into the captivating story behind this culinary gem.

Hi! Where are you from?

I’m a Palestinian Pole, born right here in Poznan.

Do you have family in Palestine?

Absolutely, and in Jordan too.

Sorry to hear about the current conflict! Is everybody okay?

My family is mostly in the West Bank, which is safer for now. Thanks for asking.

How was your recent trip to Jordan? Does life continue like normal?

It’s challenging; there’s a lot of boycotting happening right now.

Did you try some of the local food while out there?

Of course! It was amazing. Jordan, being a hub for refugees, has many fusion restaurants popping up. Delicious!

Can you compare your dishes at Talerzyki to those in the region?

I would say 90%+ is the same. We are very close.

We love your Middle Eastern hot-silky Sahlab! We haven’t seen it in Poznan.

Yes, it is delicious. I think we are the only ones in Poznan serving it.

How much cheaper is it to eat out in Jordan?

About 70% cheaper, I would say.

I heard there are some amazing sunsets in that part of the world.

For sure! I remember sleeping in a tent in the Dana mountain region and watching the sunsets. I highly recommend it!

Favorite Dish on the Menu?

Certainly, the simplest dish – Mfarrakeh with eggs, potatoes, and seven Arabic spices. Absolutely delicious!

Cooking Skills?

Absolutely. I experimented a lot before launching our first restaurant in Wroclaw, right during Covid. We were one of the only places open!

Poznan Restaurant Opening?

We opened in Poznan in 2022. Lucky with the location – a friend found it and sent me the advert, and I grabbed it right away.

I see plenty of photos on the walls. Are they from your trips?

Yes. I always like to add a few photos when I get back. We also have a map on the wall of the original Palestine how it used to be.

On a lighter note, Polish Girls or Arabic Girls?

Hahaha. Mix them up, and you’ve got perfection!

A pleasure meeting you. We adore your menu and the Talerzyki vibe. Can you share some photos from your last trip to Jordan?

Sure. I hope you like them…
