Ramzi’s mission with IRG Concepts is to elevate the restaurant experience in the DMV by introducing story-driven brands that connect people through food and culture. Each restaurant under the IRG umbrella is more than a business; it is a carefully crafted destination designed to spark conversation, celebrate heritage, and set new standards for hospitality.
