Fattoush on 5th Ave Shutters

It's lights out for Fattoush [509 85th St], the casual/take-out Lebanese eatery.  Emphatically named after the Lebanese salad, this shawarma, falafel & juice bar served its last dish after a 1½ year run, with a sign affixed to the door saying the business is closed.  Some may point to their distance away off 5th Ave playing a key factor.

Adana Mayla Turkish Restaurant Opens on 5th Ave

 

Adana Mayla [7701 5th Ave] opened earlier in March offering Turkish cuisine to all.  Although the menu speaks to the burgeoning Middle-Eastern population along the span of 5th Ave, there's something for everyone. The menu covers the whole spectrum of Turkish as you can imagine, including salads, mixed grill, shawarmas, and kebabs. They are on Facebook, Yelp, and have a website.
