The ubiquitous lunch bowl is typically not the most exciting meal of anyone's day, but Nubian Markets - a combination cafe, butchery, and grocer that celebrated its grand opening this week in Roxbury's Nubian Square, at 2565 Washington Street - is not playing to expectations.Founded by chef Ismail Samad and Yusuf Yassin, the market is using the humble lunch bowl (and a few sandwiches) to tell a lesser-seen story about the intersection of the African and Muslim diaspora, in a zero-waste kitchen, in concert with a halal butchery and grocery store that puts local Black and brown purveyors front and center on its shelves.
