On Tuesday, September 22, we will welcome Chef Ale Kuri of Austin’s Este — the Michelin-recognized seafood restaurant which was named one of the best new restaurants by Esquire, Bon Appétit, and Eater Austin — for a one-night-only dinner, Presented by Resy.

Ale Kuri, a third-generation Lebanese Mexican, combines cultural heritage and culinary expertise. Growing up in Mexico City’s vibrant markets and her family’s catering business, her passion for food flourished.

Ahead of the opening of the forthcoming Middle Eastern concept, Karaz, Chef Kuri and our team will collaborate on a special menu combining Este’s coastal Mexican cuisine, Kara’s Middle Eastern influences, and Suraya’s emphasis on the broader Levant.

Every restaurant has an origin story. Kalaya’s begins with family.

This year’s Outstanding Restaurant Award presented by @acquapannausa honors a restaurant whose story began long before its doors ever opened. Named after chef Nok Suntaranon’s mother, Kalaya (@kalayaphilly) is rooted in the generosity and hospitality that shaped her upbringing in Southern Thailand—a philosophy that makes every guest feel as though they’ve been welcomed into her home.

Just moments after accepting the award, Suntaranon (@kuhnnok) reflected on what this recognition means to her team. We later sat down with her to learn more about the inspiring journey that led Kalaya to this moment. Read the full story at the link in bio. by @dhrestaurants

*SOLD OUT* Leave the picnic to the pros! 🧺

In collaboration with Picnic and Defined Hospitality (the group behind Philly’s most beloved restaurants like Kalaya, Suraya, and Pizzeria Beddia) this experience invites guests to gather outdoors for a relaxed, seasonal meal inspired by what’s growing right on the farm. Think fresh, shareable dishes passed around the table with plenty of time to linger, pour a glass, and enjoy your surroundings.

Outstanding Restaurant 2026 @beardfoundation ✨Years ago, Kalaya began with a simple goal: to share the food and traditions of Southern Thailand, honoring @kuhnnok’s mother and the food that shaped her childhood.

Tonight, that journey reached a remarkable milestone. Kalaya has been named Outstanding Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation.

To our partners @definedhospitality, our team, our guests, and everyone who has believed in this restaurant along the way, thank you. We are honored, grateful, and proud to celebrate this moment together. by @dhrestaurants

We are deeply honored to share that Kalaya has been named No.11 on this year’s North America’s 50 Best Restaurants list.

Thank you to @theworlds50best, Greg, Nick, Al and Roland, our @definedhospitality partners, our extraordinary Kalaya team, and every guest who continues to sit at our table, share in our story, and make this journey possible.

To be recognized for a second consecutive year, as the only Southern Thai restaurant on the list, is something we hold with immense gratitude. Kalaya has always been personal, a tribute to Chef @kuhnnok mother, her childhood, and the bold, beautiful flavors of Southern Thailand. by @dhrestaurants

@michelinguide noticed for a reason.

@kalayaphilly opened in 2019 as a 32 seat BYOB in South Philly, led by James Beard Award winning chef @kuhnnok. Named after her mother and rooted in the Southern Thai cooking she grew up with in Trang, Thailand, it brought something deeply personal and authentic to Philly that the city really did not have before.

Now in Fishtown with @dhrestaurants, it is one of those places that makes the neighborhood feel even more elevated. taken in Kalaya Philadelphia by @dhrestaurants

Chef, author and restaurateur Nok Suntaranon (@kuhnnok) has built a legacy in the Philadelphia restaurant community.

Along with business partner Greg Root (@dhrestaurants), the dynamic duo has built @kalayaphilly into an icon with recognition from @theworlds50best and @beardfoundation.

They wear the @tilitnyc x @oofos Clog for the hours after a long day.
