Our Story

Nestled in the heart of Budapest, Mozata stands as a testament to the vision of its founder, Oussama Mansour, a Lebanese visionary whose passion for authentic cuisine ignited the spark for what would become a beloved culinary destination in the Hungarian capital. Founded on the 5th of October 2019, from the desire to share the rich tapestry of Lebanese flavors with the world, Mozata celebrates tradition, innovation, and a deep-seated love for food.

 

Oussama Mansour's dream was simple yet profound: to create a space where guests could experience the true essence of Lebanese cuisine, a symphony of flavors that reflects the diverse cultural influences and culinary techniques passed down through generations. Drawing inspiration from his Lebanese roots and guided by an unwavering commitment to authenticity, Oussama embarked on a journey to bring his vision to life.

 

The name "Mozata" itself reflects this commitment to authenticity and creativity. A fusion of two words, "mezze" and "mosaic," it encapsulates the essence of what makes Mozata truly unique. "Mezze," representing the vibrant array of small dishes and appetizers that form the cornerstone of Lebanese dining culture, invites guests to embark on a culinary journey that tantalizes the taste buds and ignites the senses. Meanwhile, "mosaic" pays homage to the intricate patterns adorning the restaurant's walls, each tile a testament to the diverse cultural influences that have shaped Lebanese cuisine over the centuries.

 

Today, Mozata continues to thrive under the leadership of Adam Mansour, Oussama's son, who brings a fresh perspective to the table with his unique blend of Lebanese and Hungarian heritage. Guided by his father's legacy and fueled by a passion for innovation, Adam has seamlessly woven together the traditional flavors of Lebanon with contemporary culinary techniques, creating a dining experience that is both timeless and cutting-edge.

 

Our vision extends beyond the confines of a single restaurant. At Mozata, we aspire to expand borders, bringing the unparalleled charm of Lebanese cuisine to discerning palates around the globe. With a commitment to excellence and a passion for innovation, we endeavor to expand our reach through franchising, establishing Mozata as a hallmark of exceptional dining experiences worldwide. Join us as we embark on this journey, where the flavors of Lebanon meet the world.
