Say It Isn't So: Zaytoon's On Smith Street To Close November 20th

Noooooooo! when we heard a  few days ago that Middle Eastern restaurant Zaytoon's was closing its doors at 283 Smith Street, we thought that it may be a mistake. After all, the restaurant had been open since 1998 and seemed to have a steady business.  Besides, the building was owned by the family.

Unfortunately, a notice by Zaytoon's proprietors (and cousins) Faried and Ahmad are indeed clsoing the doors to their popular Carroll Gardens eatery on November 20th. A note in the window thanks their many customers for twenty years of loyalty.
Their Prospect Heights location at 594 Vanderbilt Avenue will continue to operate, but that is little comfort for locals.

We still can't get over it.  We loved this no-frills neighborhood spot, its warm atmosphere, friendly service, and fresh food.
How about you?
