Meet Chef Amir Hajimaleki of Silk Road Hospitality Group
Chef Amir Hajimaleki’s culinary journey began around his mother’s table in Tehran, Iran, where he was inspired by the way food brought people together. Moving to Austin, Texas, at age nine, he pursued his passion for cooking from high school to culinary school. His love for food and creating memorable dining experiences led him and his brother to open their first restaurant concept in South Austin’s Circle City. Despite many challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, they achieved instant success. With hard work and dedication, the help of Austin Banking Center President Brian May and the Vista Bank team, Samir was able to begin other restaurant concepts including Oasthouse Kitchen + Bar , District Kitchen+Cocktails, Keepers Coastal Kitchen, and Shortie’s Pizza & Grinders. Samir’s story is a testament to perseverance and the power of community, and we are happy to play a small part in his success!

"Vista Bank was there..."
Thank you Vista Bank for basically saving our restaurant. When big banks, who we have done business with for decades, let us down, Vista Bank was there. Vista Bank supports female and minority entrepreneurs!
