Nailah’s Kitchen was a vibrant addition to the Baltimore restaurant scene that opened in the summer of 2016. The owner hired Curry Architects to design the building façade and interiors to engage and educate patrons on the art, history, and culture of his native Senegal. Updating an old building into a contemporary and welcome addition to the burgeoning North Baltimore neighborhoods of Belvedere Square and Govanstown, the West African culinary experience inspired every finish and detail. Nailah’s offered carry-out on one side for street food and fine dining on the other for authentic Senegalese cuisine and traditional favorites in a formal setting. In addition to their brick-and-mortar locations, Curry Architects also worked with the Nailah’s Kitchen team to design their food truck to bring the Senegalese culinary experience into the community.
