A beloved West African restaurant in Boston is saying farewell to the city after being evicted from its space, and it will be reborn in Providence.
According to an article in The Boston Globe, Bintimani in Roxbury's Nubian Square (formerly Dudley Square) has lost its home on Harrison Avenue and has been given 30 days to leave the space. The post says that owner Sahr Josiah-Faeduwor and his family will be opening the Sierra Leonean restaurant back up on Westminster Street in the heart of downtown Providence this summer and that he hopes to "innovate with food and inspire other entrepreneurs." The original location of Bintimani first opened approximately 12 years ago and has been known for such dishes as cassava leaves, black-eyed peas, fish stew, pepper soup with chicken, beef patties, kebabs, fried chicken, and more.
The old address for Bintimani was 1127 Harrison Avenue in Roxbury, while the new address will be 326 Westminster Street in Providence.
