Several additions have been made to the food stall lineup in the Chattahoochee Food Works food hall at The Works development in the Upper Westside neighborhood over the past few months.
Mediterranean concept Karv debuts today, offering bowls, pita wraps, salads and hummus. Sandy Papadopoulos of Athens Pizza and former Eclipse di Luna chef Shan Holler opened the first Karv in Chamblee in 2021.
Several weeks ago, Mushi Ni made its Chattahoochee Food Works debut, with a menu of Asian-American baos, dumplings and bowls. The concept was previously located in the Qommunity food hall in East Atlanta, and will continue to serve food at bar Little Trouble until it closes later this month.
In addition, food truck Doug’s North Carolina BBQ opened a stall, serving a variety of smoked meats and sides, and Debbie’s Delights Cereal and Breakfast Bar made its debut.
Existing stalls in the food hall include Patty & Frank’s, Belen de la Cruz, Cubanos ATL, TydeTate Kitchen, Delilah’s Everyday Soul and Baked Kitchen.
Chattahoochee Food Works opened in 2021 at 1235 Chattahoochee Ave. NW.
