"On the outside, Newroz Market appears to be just one of the many grocery and shawarma spots serving Nashville’s Kurdish community in the Elysian Plaza shopping center. Nestled in the back of the grocery store behind aisles of olives and herbs is a small dine-in area where they offer simple kabobs and shawarmas as well as traditional sweets renowned in the community and well beyond. There are eight different varieties of baklava in different shapes and sizes; some are filled with pistachios, others with sweet cheese, but all are fresh and flaky." - Clara Wang
