As critical to our restaurant’s story are the communities that have supported us throughout the years. In the heart of Roxbury, MA, in Dudley Square, Bintimani set up shop in 2008. A small, hole-in-the-wall establishment, in a historically and culturally rich Black neighborhood which was the former stomping grounds of “Detroit Red” aka Malcolm X, and the currently re-branded Nubian Square. Here Sahr and Baindu spent 13 years building and nourishing the community, with a  wide range of peoples across demographics and cultural backgrounds. 

Evicted from this community by Boston Real Estate Collaborative, a real estate firm set on gentrifying Nubian Square,   Bintimani and the Josiah-Faeduwor family were welcomed and embraced by a new home in Providence, Rhode Island’s downcity.

Our journey as a family translates to the culinary journey Bintimani has been on, our recipes, our dishes, have been tried, tested, and stayed true. They’ve remained authentically West African to its core, its flavors, and ingredients but have been adapted to the loyal peoples and palettes who have developed a dependency on our food over the years. We guarantee an array of culinary options that reflect and uplift a community as much as we expect our space, our people, and our artisanship to model.
