Job description
Who are we:
The name of our restaurant tells a story. ATAI is a word rooted in tradition and hospitality. Stemming from the beautiful tea culture of Morocco, ATAI also means “moments” in Hebrew. When we merge the two connotations, we arrive at a restaurant experience that encompasses the refined relaxation of a nice tea and the special moments that shape our lives.
