One face.
Big moustache.
“The moustache and the keffiyeh will take care of you!”
A brave, upright young man. The one who stands up, and looks after the people around him.
A Jordanian
compliment.
Nashmi is not a generic Arabic word. It is a Jordanian one, said with pride about someone who shows up for the people around him. That is why the restaurant carries it on the sign.
That is him on the sign: a red-and-white keffiyeh, the black agal holding it in place, and a moustache that means business. He is the promise. Every sandwich that leaves the counter has to be good enough for him.
Nashmi is a fast-casual restaurant serving Jordanian street food: high-quality meat, fresh bread and Middle Eastern flavours, served fast and done right. Nashmi USA serves Palos Hills, Illinois, in the Chicago area.
The Minnesota location brings the same food, the same bread and the same face to the Twin Cities. Same welcome. Same fire. The road keeps going north.
Jordanian
street food
Shawarma, kebab, arayes and shish chicken. Built for the counter and the walk home.
Charcoal-toasted
bread
Fresh bread, toasted over charcoal, packed with meat and wrapped tight.
Halal food
You will see the halal badge on the door, the same one Nashmi carries in Illinois.
