how it all started.
Amara Kitchen was founded out of a passion for creating delicious, healthful food that makes people feel good. The team believes that food is the key to health and that one diet does not suit all. This philosophy is reflected in their diverse menu, which reinterprets classic dishes to accommodate various dietary needs. In 2021, Amara Kitchen expanded to a second location in Altadena, which was warmly embraced by the local community. Unfortunately, the Altadena location was lost in the Eaton Fire in early 2025, but the Highland Park café continues to thrive.
