Anas Saba at Edessa

Anas Saba at Edessa

The critics and editors at the Scene pride ourselves on being a pretty solid source for Nashville’s curious eaters — but for the past couple of years, Anas Saba of Nashville Hidden Gems (@nashvillehiddengems on Instagram) has been giving us a run for our money. With roughly 130,000 followers on IG (and another 7,500 or so on TikTok), the son of Yemeni immigrants tours the city’s best undersung restaurants, many of them immigrant-owned. With both his social media content and his Nashville Hidden Gems Restaurant Passport (available for purchase via his website), the friendly 27-year-old guides his followers through the best cuisine Nashville has to offer — from Peruvian, Thai and Vietnamese eateries to Korean, Mexican and beyond. We’re glad to have you here, Anas.
