I was in Souq Waqif the other night heading to one of my favorite restaurants, Beirut Restaurant, to get hummous, only to find it was closed. And I don't mean “closed for the evening”, I mean gone.
Even the old sign above the door was gone. I took a peek through the windows and the place was empty, all the tables and chairs were gone.
What in the world happened? That restaurant had been there over 50 years! I hope the waiters weren't all fired, they were nice guys.
Man, what a drag . . .
[November 11, 2013 update: I was told by a guy at the Bin Mahmoud location that the Souq Waqif location is closed for good]
were the other locations closed too?
ReplyDeleteTonight I drove by the Bin Mahmoud location and it was open. Unfortunately I did not have time to stop in and ask what happened to the Souq Waqif one.
ReplyDeleteSad to hear what happened to that restaurant, but you can check Kababji Grill & Restaurant there too. It might deliver the taste that you wanted. =)
