We are thrilled to be mentioned in a recent New York Times story about visiting the Obama Presidential Center in Hyde Park - "And about a mile north are several acclaimed restaurants, including ...the newcomer Mahari."
Bon Appétit magazine reported on June 17, 2026, "Mahari, a short walk from the (Obama Presidential Center), opened in 2025 and highlighting the cuisine of the Black diaspora, has quickly become a city darling."
We look forward to seeing you soon!
