Chef Khadija “Rei” Bautista runs Sefali, a halal restaurant in Quezon City, Philippines. Her menu also draws inspiration from Palestinian cuisine, with family recipes she learned from her Palestinian mother-in-law. Through these dishes, Sefali offers familiar flavors to Palestinians living in the Philippines while introducing more diners to Palestinian food traditions.
In this episode of Everyday Icons, we meet Chef Khadija, learn about her culinary journey, and discover how faith, family, and community shape the food she serves at Sefali.
