Middle Eastern eatery plans first Cobb location at mall

Falafel slathered with hummus and a rosewater lemonade to drink doesn’t sound like mall food, but it’s about to be.

Bezoria, a metro Atlanta fast-casual eatery serving Middle Eastern fare, is opening its third location in Cumberland Mall.

There is no official opening date, according to a press release, but it is slated to open at the end of April.

Its menu includes Eastern Mediterranean staples like shawarma and kefta (the Moroccan spelling for kafta, which is ground meat done kebab-style).

The other two locations are in Midtown and Alpharetta at Atwater across from Avalon. - BEN BRASCH

A popular Loganville barbecue restaurant is opening a new location on Lawrenceville’s downtown square.

Foggy Bottom BBQ announced its second location on Facebook. The restaurant will be in a space on W. Crogan Street, next to Exhibit A(le) growler shop. Bezoria, which serves Middle Eastern fare, is opening its third location in Cumberland Mall.

The location is expected to open this summer after renovations to the restaurant space are complete. Photos posted on Facebook show multiple walls knocked down.

Foggy Bottom opened in Loganville in 2012, serving barbecue classics including pulled pork, Texas-style smoked brisket and Brunswick stew. - AMANDA C. COYNE
