Hamed Allahyari

About The Author

Hamed Allahyari was born in Iran where he was a chef and restaurateur; then a crisis of faith imperiled his life in a country where atheism is illegal. He arrived in Australia in 2012 as a refugee. After an initial detention on Christmas Island, Hamed was released into the community where he slowly built a new life, with his Melbourne restaurant SalamTea at its center.
