How do you spell Baba Ghannouj?

Ever been looking for one of your favorite restaurants with a foreign name and have a hard time finding it because the foreign name is so not easy to pronounce?

Baba Ghannouj is one of my favorite restaurants, and, it has a foreign name that could be spelled all too many ways.

How many "n"s should it have? Is it Baba Ghannoush or Baba Ghanoush?

Then there's the ending of the word "sh" or "she" or "ge" or "j" or "je". Let's see what those would look like.

The way I say it is, BabaGanoush, which could also be spelled Baba Ghanoush, or Baba Ghannoushe.

Baba Ghanouge
Baba Ghanouj
Baba Ghanouje
Baba Ghannouge
Baba Ghannouj
Baba Ghannouge

And what about the "b"s? Might there be two "b"s?

Babba instead of Baba?

How do you spell Baba Ghannouj?
