Welcome to our Family!

  “Aratham is a labor of love in every sense of the word,” said Gabriel and Tiffanie, who add that love, quality, health and creativity in plant-based cooking is the essence of Aratham. “We truly care about our customers, our community and the health of the planet. It’s because of this love that we developed a menu that is gourmet in quality, plant-based and lower in price. Food can heal and fortify and we fully believe organic, gourmet cuisine and other natural products for the home and body should be affordable for all.”

“We believe take away, grab & go meals should be delicious, interesting, fresh and healthy - the opening of the Aratham Gourmet To Go storefront allows the community to stop in and purchase a variety of organic, plant-based foods quickly and conveniently, without sacrificing taste or nutrition,” Gabriel and Tiffanie said.

Gabriel Vera served as Director of Food and Beverage and Executive Chef at MGM Grand, Joe Vicari Restaurant Group (Andiamo, Joe Muer), Mission Point Resort, Hilton and the Hyatt, Saltwater, Lena & Habana, Four Diamond Restaurants and others. He is a sommelier and gold and silver medalist of the Culinary World Cup, Luxembourg; IKA Culinary Olympics, and others and received awards for ice and vegetable carvings among many others accolades.  

Tiffanie Vera, a naturopath who is a trained birth and postpartum doula, is also a previous director of some of Detroit’s trendiest bars. She left the alcohol industry to focus on holistic healing. Tiffanie stressed that Aratham is designed to fill a void in the region - of food that is prepared and cooked with love, concern and appreciation for whomever consumes it, and with passion and love for all beings on the planet. She brings the essence of community and family to Aratham along with the determination to never stray from the mission of zero waste, organic, plant-based, eco-friendly foods and products. 

They look forward to cooking for you and your family!
