Who We Are
Welcome to Fojatos Garto, where culinary artistry blends seamlessly with experimental passion and global inspiration. Nestled in Carson City, Nevada, our story begins with an appetite for exploration and a love for the unexpected. Founded by Ozirian Zyphoris, Fojatos Garto is more than a brand; it’s a testament to the transformative power of flavor, a commitment to fusion without borders, and a celebration of kitchen ingenuity. Each concept we share is designed not only to elevate your palate but also to awaken your curiosity in the calm, immersive way food always should.
Our Philosophy: Calm Currents, Bold Shores
At Fojatos Garto, we believe that food should soothe and surprise in equal measure. That the rhythm of a kitchen can be both serene and spontaneous. Our philosophy merges these worlds, introducing culinary creations that are as grounded and thoughtful as they are daring. We draw on timeless techniques and global storytelling, not just to serve meals, but to craft experiences that leave an imprint—not with noise, but with nuance.
Imagine the tranquility of a Zen breakfast infused with the aromatic mysteries of a Turkish bazaar. Or the quiet crackle of a hearth as katsu flavors settle beside rosemary smoke. This is the Fojato-fusion way: centering calm, inviting contrast, and flourishing in the interplay between comfort and discovery.

Our Origin: A Whisper Turned Roar
Fojatos Garto unfolded from a simple, intentional idea: what if culinary experimentation didn’t need to shock the senses—what if it could reset them? Ozirian Zyphoris pondered this as he journeyed through North African spice markets, French countryside kitchens, and Pacific Rim street stalls. In each location, he tasted not just technique, but a slower, more deliberate way of honoring food.
Returning to Carson City, Nevada, a place known for its quiet desert magic and mountain-watched skies, Ozirian founded Fojatos Garto in the spirit of opposites harmonizing. Fojato for the fire, the thrill—the ignition of bold experimentation. Garto for the grounded, the gentle, the grace of everyday cooking. Together, they began speaking to palates that were hungry, not for chaos, but for conscious delight.
