About Us

Cayenne Mediterranean Cafe offers its patrons an unbeatable combination:  a relaxed, informal atmosphere and a wide selection of marvelous dishes.  The owners, Sam Amad and Noura Elnasser, who as friends and business partners "go way back" (to quote Noura) bring to the table more than twenty years of experience in the restaurant industry, both in the San Fernando Valley and on the West Side.  Their previous restaurants include Cafe Valentino Los Angeles, Cafe Valentino Burbank, Cafe Metro, and Mango Cafe.  Sam has a passion for Lebanese cuisine, Noura for Italian, French and Moroccan.  They work together harmoniously in creating a fusion of flavors from the Mediterranean region.  Exquisite meals are prepared from fresh organic ingredients seasoned with garlic, mint, parsley, cumin and olive oil.  Noura learned much of what she knows from her travels and from her greatest inspiration:  her mother, who currently bakes luscious cakes and desserts for Cayenne Cafe.
