Makki Deli & Grocery has closed



The small deli serving Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Indian food to go at 440 E. Ninth St. has closed. EVG correspondent Steven spotted workers hanging for rent signs on the space just west of Avenue A last evening.



Makki opened back in April, and people seemed to like the food (and the portions and prices). However, the place never seemed to attract many customers, at least based on the times that I looked in while walking by... The food was good, though it was tough passing up Punjabi Grocery & Deli on East First Street for this.

    Hmmm. I never bought anything from them. I hope something more useful opens there.

    The signage was all wrong - why would you go to a 'juice bar' to get P/B/I food?

    I'm afraid this will the fate of another recently opened 9th street deli. You know which one I'm talking about.
