The Hottest New Restaurants in Nashville, May 2024
"Owned by husband and wife team, Becca Bendaj and Niko Bendaj, Benji’s is supplying West Nashville with scratch-made bagels, schmears, and pastries seven days a week. Pulling culinary flavors from Niko’s Albanian and Becca’s Israeli background, the bagels range from familiar to inventive — za’atar, cheddar jalapeño, and cinnamon sugar bagels accompany tahini and chili crunch schmears. Just add a cup of freshly brewed Lavazza coffee to wash it all down." - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones, Eater Staff
