The Lansing foodie scene has taken another blow with the closing of another restaurant.

Restaurants come and go, as is the nature of all businesses. And it seems that time has come yet again with the closure of a Lansing restaurant that has been around for a while now.

This closure comes very suddenly and without warning. According to the Lansing State Journal, and confirmed when writing this, no announcement has been made on the Zaytoon Lansing social media pages. However, the last post to Facebook was back in mid May, and the website is no longer operational.

This isn't the first time that Zaytoon has closed its doors. There was a brief closure in September 2023 after some allegations arose that former employees hadn't been paid.

Zaytoon isn't the only restaurant in Lansing to quickly close up shop. Green Dot Stables did the same at the beginning of July.
