Hadhrawi holds a master’s degree in business administration from Alfaisal University, where she was honored with the title of “Top Team Leader in the Class of 2015” by the College of Business.

“I’ve always believed that some of the great businesses are born from genuine passions,” said Hadhrawi. “I have an inherent passion for warm, hospitable and welcoming table styling.

“It is known that the most outstanding feature of Arab society is the generosity and hospitality. We take hospitality very seriously, using every opportunity to honor our guests to the best of our abilities.”

As time passes in the fast-paced modern world, she said it was time to come up with a new way of practicing hospitality, one that honors and accommodates guests’ preferences while controlling portion sizes, hence reducing food waste.

“Therefore, to combine modernity and tradition, Tana’s Touch was created, where quality comes before quantity,” she said. “Creating memories rather than settings. Making the dining experience exceptional and extraordinary each time.
