There will be a new eatery on Franklin Street soon.

Jasmin Mediterranean Bistro, a Greek-Lebanese fusion restaurant, will move into the building that used to be occupied by Qudoba Mexican Grilll, which closed down on Halloween night.

Jasmin Bistro is run by Nawwaf Said and his wife, Bayan. Said says he’s been looking to add a location in Chapel Hill for years.

“We wanted to be there but I really wanted to find a good location in Chapel Hill. When that corner at North Columbia and Franklin became available then we decided its time for us to do it,” says Said.

The couple opened their first restaurant on the campus of N.C. State in 2004, and has since added three more locations in Raleigh and Cary.

Said says Jasmin’s will offer something different from the rest of the eateries on Franklin Street.

“Franklin Street has that mix of whether you’re going to go get cheap calories or you’re going to get some expensive food,” says Said. “So Jasmin will put the quality of the food and bring value to Franklin Street.”

Jasmin Mediterranean Bistro will open at the intersection of Franklin Street and Columbia Street in February.
