Baba Nahm will spice up the historic S&W Market, bringing its locally-loved Mediterranean street food this spring. Co-owners and partners Brian and Laura Smith will take over the former Bun Intended spot, offering mezze platters, hummus bowls, salads, pita wraps, kabobs, and housemade desserts for lunch and dinner.

As Baba Nahm settles into the food hall, the team is also cooking up something new for its original home at 60 Biltmore Avenue — stay tuned for an announcement.

Baba Nahm joins a lineup that includes Buxton Chicken Palace, Farm Dogs, Flour, The Hop, Periscope, and Zen Sushi. With Flour planning a move to the former Laughing Seed Cafe space on Wall Street, the door is open for one more fresh face to join the mix.
