You go to the One Street Over restaurant for exquisite exotic cuisine, but the aesthetically pleasing decor inside this stately edifice offers a feast for the eyes.
One Street Over is pleasing to the palate, eyes and soul
You are drawn into an elegant, comforting ambiance that works like a warm embrace as you anticipate your delectable delights and imbibe one of their specialty libations. The restaurant is a bastion of serenity that seals you off from the bustle and cacophony that is one street over from the world-renowned Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta — thus the name, One Street Over.
One Street Over brings India, Ethiopia and Eritrea to Atlanta
The femme ownership duo of the Maven Hospitality Group — Mable Abraham of Mumbai, India, and Faven Ressom of Eritrea — launched a new restaurant concept in Atlanta that fuses Indian, Ethiopian and Eritrean cuisines, replete with spices and flavors that dance on your tongue.
One Street Over, located at 12 W Peachtree Pl NW, Atlanta, GA 30308, features an innovative menu that includes Indian-inspired salmon tandoori; spiced corn ribs; Mexican street corn that is reimagined with Habeshan and Indian spices; lamb sliders, and Berbere tibs taco.
“This is kind of a gateway for us to introduce people to our native culture, our community, and get them interested and excited about actually going and experiencing Ethiopian food and Indian food,” Ressom explained to rolling out.
National dishes with an international flavor
Abraham, Ressom and chef and restaurateur Scotley Innis have integrated their experiences and identities into the establishment and created a unique dining experience showcasing the owners’ diverse culinary heritage. They imbue that with scrumptious offerings that are quintessential Americana, such as masala marinated chrimp over creamy fennel grits, fish and grits, salmon eggs benedict, chicken and waffles, and spiced potatoes topped with chimichurri and garlic aioli.
“So this is a very, very subtle way of introducing people to our cuisine and our culture as well,” Ressom explained. “And as you guys know, Atlanta is very, very diverse. So this is just kind of a central location for us to get them a little bit comfortable and familiar with the food and the visiting so they feel comfortable going into these authentic mom-and-pop restaurants and actually trying the food.”
The cuisine, the decor and the comfort make patrons forget they are in the middle of one of the most vibrant cities in America. It is impossible to leave One Street Over without taking a piece of its atmosphere and culture with you.
“We worked with chef [Innis] to give me some ideas,” Ressom added, “and some suggestions to come up with items that, using the spices and seasonings of our culture and our food, to create an elevated tapas menu.”
And an elevated experience.
