The Roots of Our Cuisine
Chef Nir Mesika’s menu draws influences from the Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa, creating a highly personal, thoroughly original dining experience. A native of Israel with Moroccan heritage, Chef Mesika brings a unique sensibility to his cooking, weaving in flavors from around the globe while also making many items in house including cheeses, breads, condiments, sauces, ice creams and more. Most ingredients are sourced locally but some are specially imported such as tahini from the Palestinian city of Nablus.
About Us
The partnership of Chef Nir Mesika and Ori Apple of Hummus Place brings a unique showcase for Modern Israeli cooking to New York City. Timna takes its name from two geographical locations of the same name – Timna Valley in Israel, a location of geological and historical significance, and an ancient city in Yemen that was an important hub on the Incense Route.
