Hamtramck round-up: Middle Eastern bakery opens, new restaurant soon to come

It’s hard to believe, but among all the Middle Eastern shops, markets and restaurants that pepper (curry?) Hamtramck, a bakery has not been among them. ‘Til now, that is, with the opening of Al-Jenah Bakery on Conant just south of Holbrook. Sajook, zataar, cheese and meat breads along with mini pizza is made-to-order while spinach and meat pies are made fresh daily. Al-Jenah is located at 9240 Conant; call 313-875-9718. Hours are Monday through Friday 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Just up the street, the spot that housed the now-closed Bengal Masala — which was a coney joint even prior to that — will soon reopen as Aladdin Cafe. The address is 9334 Caniff; call 313-875-9999. Writer: Kelli B. Kavanaugh
