Red Brick Oven in Suwanee Has Closed

Add the Red Brick Oven to the list of recent Suwanee restaurant casualties.

The casual dining eatery on Peachtree Industrial Boulevard near Suwanee Dam Road has ceased operations in a leasing dispute, according to owner Maral Baghdadi. He said the landlord's new proposed lease payment was far above what some other businesses in the same strip mall are paying.

Baghdadi, who was at the shuttered site Thursday, said he is looking to set up shop again in the Perimeter Mall or Sandy Springs areas.

The Red Brick Oven had been in operation for about five years in Suwanee. True to its name, it used a brick oven to bake menu items. It featured items with a European and Mediterranean flavor, such as lamb kabob, roasted lamb sandwich, and grilled quails.

Olde Towne Tavern & Grille, Cafe Gourmandises and Moondance Restaurant and Lounge closed in Suwanee in recent months.

However, Friends Sports Grill plans to open in a suite near Town Center in March.
