The House of Kabab restaurant at 298 N. Main St. (Ohio 48) has shut its doors, but it may reopen soon under new ownership and perhaps a new name and concept, owner George Ephrem said this morning.

“We are closed until further notice due to unforeseen circumstances,” a sign taped to the restaurant’s door advises customers.

Ephrem said slow business and difficulty in hiring and retaining servers and kitchen employees were factors in the restaurant closing. The restaurant owner said he is negotiating with potential operators of a restaurant that would reopen in the space. The successor restaurant’s name and concept haven’t been determined.

House of Kabab opened in October 2010, offering Mediterranean-style appetizers, soups, salads, pita sandwiches, dinner platters and desserts, available for dine-in or carryout. The restaurant seats about 50, and has a patio.
