According to owner Majed Khaski, the landlord was going to raise the rent when the ten-year lease expired. “It more than doubled the rent on the building and we couldn’t afford it,” Khaski says.
The owners are going to try to reopen Ya Hala in some other spot. “We’re still looking for another place,” Khaski adds. “It’s not going to be soon.”
Will you step up to support Westword this year?
At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $22,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.
The owners also run Donut Burst in Lakewood.
