David Ina, owner of Zaytoon Lebanese Kitchen, works in his restaurant prior to the pandemic. Ina reopens Zaytoon Feb. 16.
As people ghosted from downtown Cleveland, David Ina s once-reliable lunch rush vanished along with them.
With office towers emptied and events canceled, Ina mothballed the restaurant he opened in 2017, Zaytoon Lebanese Kitchen, not long after the rise of coronavirus. He reopened for a stint following the lift of state lockdowns that were imposed in mid-March, but business simply was too slow and operation costs were too high.
On Wednesday, Feb. 17, Ina once again will reopen the eatery he has shelved for so many months.
