Chef Hamada’s Restaurant in Gaza City is keeping chicken off the menu for now, with Hamada citing high prices as the holdup. Instead, his August 26, 2025, Instagram Stories showcase a tempting lineup of beef calzones, Nutella desserts, crêpes, and waffles, drawing crowds despite the war-torn backdrop. A peek at the upstairs “family section” for women highlights a rare space for comfort in Gaza’s chaos. While famine headlines scream starvation, Hamada’s bustling eatery and diverse menu tell a different story—resilience, ingenuity, and a defiance of the narrative that Gaza has nothing to offer but despair.
