Siren Sisters Kitchen is a women-owned catering studio and storefront in downtown Fairfax, founded by Dina Berkhout — a Palestinian Italian chef who spent years cooking on tall ships across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Great Lakes, provisioning in back-alley markets from Portugal to West Africa and collecting cookbooks along the way.

That spirit of adventure, abundance, and feeding people well is baked into everything we do. Menus draw from Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences, grounded in California's seasonal best.

Our catering is visual and design-driven: layered florals, abundant grazing tables, family-style spreads that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Behind it all is a close-knit collective of women from diverse backgrounds; women from Guatemala, Peru, and the American Midwest, where hospitality isn't a selling point — it's just how you were raised.

Our cozy Fairfax storefront carries that same warmth — scratch-made soups, stews, grab-and-go meals, gorgeous platters, carry-out style catering, and small-batch provisions. We're here to help make any gathering feel effortless.

Every meal tells a story
let our table do the talking.
