The building, across from Walgreens, is house a Middle
Eastern restaurant, reports Derek Sielewicz, owner of ADS – Architecture Design Services. The lower-level will offer regular eat-in dining and carryout, and the
upper level will have a rooftop deck and hookah lounge.
The restaurant is on the site of the Sunset Grille, which closed
in 2012. The owner, Hassan Iqbal, also owns the former site of American Rental next
door and is seeking a retail tenant for that spot.

The Annandale Central Business District Planning Committee
had approved a redevelopment plan for a restaurant and store in May 2013 on
that site presented by a different builder. ADS was hired about two months ago to finish the
project.

Thanks Dad
I hope Annandale can support a non Korean restaurant. Food Corner is very good and has been around for several years, Ariana Grill in Backlick SC only lasted about 5 years. No issues with the Hookah as long as it is upstairs and I cant smell it inside.
I am a bit surprised that the owner was not asked by ACBDEFGPC to buy the entire block and consolidate all the little parcels and build an 8 story building with a restaurant at the ground floor with 7 floors of RSUs.
So what's that all about? Seems like a bit pointless and gratuitous comment.
Sorry did not realize postings had to meet your standards.
Great news! When is it expected to open?
Look how long it's taken this restaurant to open. The longer it takes a restaurant to open, the more crushing debt it's saddled with as of day one, and the less likely it is to succeed. Case in point, that burrito place on Col. Pk. where Dice Burger is now.
