Welcome to Yasmeen Mediterranean Cuisine, where the rich flavors and aromas of the Mediterranean region come alive in every dish. Our story began over 45 years ago, when our founder and restaurateur, Mahmoud Chaghlil, first opened the doors to La Chandelle in 1990. Since then, we've been committed to serving the finest Mediterranean cuisine to the people of New Jersey.
A Legacy of Excellence
Mahmoud's passion for providing exceptional service and his commitment to quality have been the cornerstone of our success. Over the years, he has owned and operated numerous successful restaurants, including La Chandelle, El Forno, Addiwan, Zeina Restaurant, and now Yasmeen Mediterranean Cuisine. Our family has dedicated ourselves to serving delicious food and giving our guests a tour of the Mediterranean's culinary delights.
