SPONSORED - In celebration of the upcoming debut of the area’s most exciting new restaurants at Shoma Bazaar food hall, Miami-based developer Shoma Group hosted an exclusive evening at Sanctuary at Doral featuring the latest in Doral dining in partnership with Braman Miami.

On-site tastemakers were treated to the first taste of what’s to come at Shoma Bazaar, a 14,000-square-foot innovative food hall that will be situated at the main entrance of Sanctuary at Doral, a newly-opened six-story luxury rental community. Developed and managed by industry veteran Masoud Shojaee, CEO of Shoma Group – who over the past 31 years has developed more than 10,000 homes and condominiums, and completed over $5 billion in real estate transactions – Shoma Bazaar at Sanctuary at Doral is the firm’s first food hall concept and represents the first of many future Shoma Bazaar food halls set to be incorporated into each of Shoma Group’s upcoming rental communities. Each Shoma Bazaar will be home to approximately a dozen unique restaurant vendors.

The invitation only culinary event featured 7 of the 14 artisanal vendors that have signed on to open the food hall including B.F.F. “Burgers, Franks, Fries”, Doce Provisions, Ella’s Oyster Bar, Shahs of Kabob, Sweet Manifesto, Trattoria Dal Plin and The Market Milkshake Bar. Other vendors will include Pubbelly Sushi, Tintto By Tributto, In Ramen, Juice & Java, Eating House and Ash Pizza Parlor.

The evening also featured a display of the latest Braman BMW and MINI Cooper vehicles where guests had the opportunity to enter to win an exclusive raffle for a weekend getaway on a BMW or MINI courtesy of Braman Miami. One lucky winner was selected by Braman Miami to enjoy their complimentary weekend ride.

Serving as a kickoff for upcoming regularly scheduled events that will take place year-round at Sanctuary at Doral for residents and commercial tenants, hosts Shoma Group and Braman Miami rolled out the red carpet as event-goers enjoyed cocktails and delicious samplings from the participating restaurants getting a true taste of what’s to come once Shoma Bazaar officially debuts this Fall.

“We’re incredibly proud to introduce the first glimpse of Shoma Bazaar to our Sanctuary at Doral residents and guests. Shoma Bazaar will be more than a food hall. Our vision is to create a culinary and visual adventure, and a true dining destination for the area,” said Masoud Shojaee, President and CEO of Shoma Group. “We recently welcomed our new Sanctuary residents and this is an exciting occasion as we usher in this unique lifestyle and sophisticated community to Doral.”
