    I understand that Alcazar from the valley is opening a site there.

      Yes, Alcazar is opening in this location, even without any ABC licensing. Website info:

        They keep pushing back the opening date. I believe epop passes by regularly and will report when they're open.

          I stopped inside and talked to the guy there and he said positively that they'll be open on Monday 8/17.

          No beer or wine yet - liquor app is in process. Exact same menu as their Encino location.

              Well, that's what he said when I stopped in on Friday. Anyways, he gave me their business card and you call & confirm before you make any extra effort to stop by.

                  It is the same well-executed traditional Lebanese menu they serve in the Valley.

                    Just drove by: Open for business, but it was empty.

        Strange reason: Lack of business.
