Restaurant Review: Izz Cafe, 14 George's Quay, Cork

In a time when such tales are sorely needed, Izz and Eman Alkarajeh’s story is inspiring and truly heartwarming: A young Palestinian couple, they were forced to leave Saudia Arabia where they had been working and rearing a young family, winding up in direct provision in Ireland but, with the help of new Irish friends, eventually began trading from a small stall at Mahon Point Farmer’s market, selling Eman’s traditional dishes.
