STORY

Born of a third-culture Levantine diaspora, 963 reinterprets the heritage recipes transporting you on a voyage of flavours beyond borders.

We honor traditions, source authentic ingredients from the Levant, and create foods you’ve never seen, and oh so familiar flavors. 963 is a celebration of the culture of the Levant, in the heart of Berlin.

IN THE PRESS

“963 stands at the intersection of memory, migration and modernity — where dishes carry stories but aren’t bound by nostalgia.”

ABOUT

963 is named after the country code for Syria, a number we dialed countless times to connect with our roots, our heritage. As a third-culture family, we grew up bridging worlds, but +963 always meant “home,” a place of warmth, love, and belonging.

“I created this space in the heart of Berlin to evoke the warmth of home and take you on a voyage to my home, away from home. Once you step into 963, you’re reconnecting with a cherished place, wherever that may be for you." —Ribal Sibaee, Founder

In the Levant, nobody stays a guest for long. “ahlan wa sahlan!”

MUSIC

We leave you with the third-culture sounds of the Levant, 963 Radio, straight from our kitchen.
