Intrigued by the history and art of Alhambra, the eponymous palace and fortress complex of the Moorish monarchs of Granada in southern Spain, Dr. Nasar Rustom hoped to one day bring the culture, art, and splendor of Alhambra to the city of Chicago. Over the course of several years and many trips to the Middle East and North Africa, Dr. Rustom amassed a large collection of artifacts to eventually display and furnish at his future restaurant.

In order to recreate the splendor of the original Alhambra, Dr. Rustom began commissioning artisans from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Morocco to recreate the Moorish style of art for the hand carved wood furniture, sculptures, rugs, stone mosaics, arabesques, and crystal chandeliers that were to be found around the restaurant.

Intricate gilding framing doorways, windows, and hand painted tiles paneling the walls throughout the restaurant would exemplify the care and painstaking detail that Dr. Rustom wanted to recreate from the original Alhambra right here in Chicago.

Eventually, all of Dr. Rustom's hard work would pay off. Since opening in 2007, Alhambra Palace has provided a unique experience of fine dining and entertainment to a diverse range of customers.
