Our History

The Baschshi Family

We're the Baschshis! The loving parents who have been married for 30+ years, and their children — Omar and Zarlasht. Baba Nazir and Khala Zarin are both retired, after living 30+ years in the United States. Both immigrated from Afghanistan in the early 1980s–early 1990s. Omar and Zarlasht were born and raised in sunny Los Angeles, CA, and both hold master's degrees in engineering.

What started as a hobby in 2020 slowly turned into a passion and desire to share our food and culture. With the start of our business in 2022, we hope our story inspires you — and that you choose us for your catering and foodie needs.

Rule Breakers

TheGushyAfghan stepped out in style for the red carpet screening of Rule Breakers — a celebration of Afghan woman resilience, determination, and passion through the face of adversity. We're honored to have been part of an evening that uplifts culture, challenges the norm, and breaks every rule.
