Afia makes nourishing, flavorful Mediterranean foods and recipes while also giving back to communities in need.

Afia, which means “to your health” in Arabic, is a Mediterranean food company headquartered in Austin, Texas, driven by a mission to make food powerful. Founded by Farrah Moussallati Sibai, who had resettled in Texas after enduring great personal tragedy and loss in Syria, Afia’s products infuse the meals of her past with modern flavors. Using her mother-in-law's little black book of old Syrian family recipes, Moussallati Sibai began selling Afia’s signature frozen falafel and kibbeh at one farmers’ market in 2017. Afia proudly became one of  H-E-B’s Supplier Diversity Supplier of the Year award recipients and a Chobani’s Incubator brand, both in 2019. Afia now offers six different SKUs at more than 1700 locations nationwide and online. Afia is dedicated to nourishing the community through more than food. Beyond regular donations to local food banks, Afia is committed to supporting their local community of refugees through employment and mentoring.

I wish they were available in more retail!

The Afia falafels are an amazing staple in my household. My parents first introduced them to me, as they use them in a pinch if they don't want to make falafel from scratch. That's high praise from a Lebanese fam! Since then, my husband has become obsessed and buys them directly from their website in high quantities and we just keep in the freezer. He eats them almost every day in his lunch and loves the different flavors. I love that they are clean /  minimally-processed but taste delicious and are convenient!
