A new food hall is coming to East Cambridge, bringing with it a variety of new eateries.
CanalSide Food + Drink food hall will soon open at the CambridgeSide mixed-use complex, located at 100 Cambridgeside Place. It will feature 14 new dining options, and the first tenants have just been announced.
According to the CambridgeSide website, anoush’ella has been selected as one of the first establishments at the new food hall, alongside DalMoros Fresh Pasta To Go, Lala’s Neapolitan-ish Pizza, Chilacates, Fresh, Caffe Nero, Sapporo Ramen, Teazzi Tea Shop, and others.
Founded by chef Nina Festekjian and her husband Raffi, anoush’ella currently boasts three local locations in the Fenway, the South End, and Watertown. Inspired by the Armenian Lebanese food of the couple’s childhoods, the eatery offers traditional Eastern Mediterranean fare in a casual neighborhood setting.
Menu items include classics like hummus, baba ganoush, tabbouleh, and baked chickpea fritters, along with a range of other bowls, salads, sides, dips, wraps, grains, omelets, sweets, and more.
Notably, Nina, Raffi, and their business partner Aleks Bakhrakh are also behind InChu and NuBurger—two of the other eateries coming to CanalSide—under their restaurant group Unique Concepts.
The new anoush’ella location is slated to open this fall. For further updates, keep an eye on the CambridgeSide website.
