A change is coming to the West End's busy restaurant scene.
After eight years at the corner of Denman Street and Comox Street, Gillaneh Grill and Restaurant has closed, and signs are already up for a new restaurant.
Gillaneh opened up at 1072 Denman St. in late 2017 or early 2018, specializing in Persian food, including kebabs, stews, and eggplant-based dishes.
It was their second location after the first Gillaneh opened up in North Vancouver a couple of years earlier. The original location, at 222 Pemberton Ave., remains open.
In the West End, signs are up for Burger Zoghali, another restaurant originating in North Vancouver. The first location opened at 1802 Lonsdale Ave. earlier this year. No date has been announced for when the Denman Street location will open.
Zoghali is a Persian word that translates to charcoal, and the new restaurant promises smashed and grilled burgers with charcoal aromas and smoky tastes. The menu also includes pizzas, wings, and salads.
Prior to being Gillaneh, 1072 Denman St. was recently Verve Bistro and Central Bistro.
