Anoush’ella Kitchen Now Open At MarketStreet Lynnfield

A release from MarketStreet Lynnfield:

Owners Nina and Raffi Festekjian are excited to announce the opening of the second anoush’ella Kitchen location at the popular MarketStreet Lynnfield. Anoush’ella Kitchen is a "Fine, Fast, Casual" Mediterranean restaurant, inspired by the couple’s Armenian-Lebanese heritage.

The word “anoush’ella” is an Armenian expression meaning "May it be Sweet,” reflecting Chef Nina Festekjian’s belief that when food is prepared with love, it can awaken the palate, enrich the mind, and satisfy the soul. “The menu is meant to capture the explosive flavors of Mediterranean street food from my childhood," she says. “It’s also the food we raised our now three grown sons on, in Winchester -- it’s healthy and delicious!”

North Shore residents can now see and taste for themselves why The Boston Globe food critic Devra First praised their first location in Boston’s South End as “if Sofra and sweetgreen had a baby." anoushe’lla was also named “Boston’s Best Fast Casual Restaurant,” in The Improper Bostonian magazine.
