Maizbon in Alexandria has closed

Saw the note on the door Wednesday. Pity. I really enjoyed the place.

Useless link to now dead website: http://www.maizbon.com/

    In the right spot, Maizbon could have been a sensation.
    Last time I was at that shopping center, I saw some other very interesting spots, including maybe an Egyptian place?

      If it's the same Egyptian place that's been there for a while, then it's very underwhelming.

      Afghani restaurants (other than low-end kabob joints) seem to have a tough time of it around here. We've lost a few of our favorites over the years. It's a shame more people won't give it a try, because the cuisine is very approachable.
