Sofrat Alya · Alya Catering · Alya Spices

Born in Bahrain. Built around Khaliji flavour. Ready for what comes next.

It started with one table

ALYA began with Chef Alya's passion for authentic Khaliji cooking and the belief that food should carry more than flavour. It should carry memory, culture and identity.

That passion became Sofrat Alya, launched in Bahrain in August 2018. But the ambition was never limited to a restaurant.

ALYA is becoming an ecosystem around food, hospitality and flavour.

“Food should carry more than flavour. It should carry memory, culture and identity.”

Despite the challenges of the pandemic
