How did it all start? “The Malabi House was born from an old dream, hidden for years in a closed drawer. This dream, which ignited my heart as a 15-year-old girl, was to show the world what my heart truly was.

Welcome to the Malabi House – the place where taste, tradition, and life story merge into an extraordinary culinary experience.
How did it all start? “The Malabi House was born from an old dream, hidden for years in a closed drawer. This dream, which ignited my heart as a 15-year-old girl, was to show the world what my heart truly was. I grew up in a home full of love, laughter, and the intoxicating aromas of traditional Middle Eastern cuisine. A home that was always open, with a large and vibrant family, where the kitchen was the beating heart. Three grandmothers accompanied my childhood and taught me not only the secrets of the kitchen, but also the values of life: giving, creativity, and love for everything you do.” – Tina Khativ
“A tradition that makes a dream come true. Grandma Hemda taught me the secrets of the perfect texture, Grandma Shikha showed me how to create velvety and durable malabi, and Grandma Nokha revealed to me the secrets of the perfect syrup – delicate, refreshing and sweet in just the right amount. But life, like good recipes, takes time to cook. I have come a long way, full of challenges – I got married, raised three sons, and faced difficulties that led me to reinvent myself. In a moment of enlightenment, I remembered my old dream and decided to make it a reality. Thus, the Malabi House was born.” – Tina Khativ
Tina Khativ, a native of Akko, established the colorful Malabi House stand in 2018 — offering Malabi that opens doors and hearts! The Malabi House is much more than a dessert shop – it’s an experience. They serve gourmet malabi, combining traditional techniques with uncompromising raw materials. Every ingredient is carefully selected, and every dish is made with love, just like Tina’s grandmothers taught her. Her malabi is a journey of flavors:
In addition, Tina’s dessert menu includes special versions of authentic desserts and more, alongside other desserts, such as reduced-sugar halva and katayef mini pancakes filled with vanilla cream and pistachio.
The achievements speak for themselves. The Malabi House has received widespread recognition:

*Selected to participate in prestigious culinary festivals such as “Women Make Culinary” at Sarona Market in TLV.
