Syrian classics, generous mezze and sweets made every morning. The recipes came from Syria. Every day, noon to seven.
Four generations deep. Nothing written down, everything remembered.
The kitchen starts at ten every morning. Nothing sits, nothing is reheated.
Baklava, knafeh and ma'amoul made in-house each morning, syrup and all.
Certified meats, and every dietary need cooked for without fuss.
NARINJ began long before Antwerp, in a Syrian courtyard where Sunday lunch lasted until sunset and the smell of Sunday cooking drifted over the bitter-orange trees that gave us our name.
When our family made Belgium home, we brought the recipes, the rituals, and a stubborn rule: food is generous or it isn't worth serving. Our head chef holds the kitchen to it every day.
Three plates that define NARINJ. The menu goes a lot further.
Paper-thin pastry rolled tight around crushed pistachio, finished with orange-blossom syrup.
Molten sweet cream under crisp kataifi, orange-blossom syrup, crushed pistachio. Served warm, straight from the tray.
Our signature maamoul — semolina pastry pressed by hand and filled the NARINJ way.
The kitchen, the room, the plates — a few frames from service.
Weddings, office events, private gatherings. Our kitchen, mezze and sweet tables travel from Antwerp to every corner of the country.
From boardroom lunches to wedding receptions, our kitchen travels to every kind of gathering.
Team lunches, product launches and end-of-year parties across Belgium.
Live cooking stations and full mezze spreads for the biggest day of the year.
Authentic Syrian menus for receptions and cultural events.
Generous, halal-certified catering for community gatherings and fundraisers.

Our second visit was just as delightful as the first!! Consistently excellent pastries, beautifully crafted and full of flavour, paired with a welcoming atmosphere.
We discovered this place by coincidence just walking by. We like baklawa, and Syrian baklawa is our favourite. We got a small box and started eating some right away…
Amazing Syrian pastries made with love and low sugar ❤️ perfect for my needs! The owner was equally sweet, hospitable, and accommodating immediately our order.
