Baba Ganoush

Why we love it

Baba Ganoush is a vibrant new arrival on St Nicholas Rd (St Paul's), after making the hop over the M32 from Easton.

Owners Shad and Dael place an emphasis on community - which is clear from the warm welcome they give to every single visitor.

The food is super-fresh Middle-Eastern/Israeli stuff. Probably the most delicious falafals in town, and the baba ganoush is a complete winner - smooth, zingy and fresh (you'll quickly realise why they named the place after it). Not sure what to order? We recommend putting yourselves in the knowing hands of Shad and Dael - and letting them pull together their recommendation of Mezze plates. It never ceases to please.

It's all BYOB - so bring a few drinks (why not pick up some locally produced craft beers from some other Wriggle faves, such as Coffee + Beer over on Cotham Hill, or Beer Necessities down at Wapping Wharf?) and settle down to a spread of excellent value Middle-Eastern grub.

Also - check out the amazing table carved straight from a gnarled tree-trunk. It's been shipped all the way over from Mali especially!
