GREAT FALLS — Saibeen Acord, owner and chef at Saibeen’s Kitchen in Great Falls, is a semi-finalist in the 2022 James Beard Foundation’s Restaurant and Chef Awards.
Saibeen is one of 20 semi-finalists in the Mountain Region category of "Best Chef."
She has gained a loyal following in Great Falls by serving up East Indian and East African cuisine; she says she is inspired primarily by her mother, who had a passion for cooking and feeding people.

She later moved into a building on 10th Avenue South near 26th Street; and recently relocated into a space on the second floor of the Columbus Center at 1601 2nd Avenue North.
