Nabaa Anjar began in May 1998 as a small family business started by Apraham Malkedjian in Anjar, in the Bekaa. By the end of 1999 it had grown into a full restaurant on Spring Street. The kitchen serves both Lebanese and Armenian food and builds its menu around seasonal produce from local Bekaa suppliers. Raw kebbeh is the house specialty, served as a signature plate, along with hummus with meat, tabbouleh, fattoush and shrimp fatteh. Guests can eat indoors or outside in a garden setting, with parking on site. The restaurant hosts weddings and private events, puts on live music in season, runs a separate events space called Yasmina, and offers outside catering.
