At Cafe Glendi, 450 square feet holds nearly three decades
A new profile visits one of Fifth Street Public Market's enduring food businesses.
Café Glendi operates in about 450 square feet with roughly six employees. In KLCC's October 30 profile, owner Borzi Marashi describes that manageable scale as one reason the restaurant has lasted nearly three decades inside Fifth Street Public Market's Eateries hall.
The setting is familiar for a second reason: Marashi used to study at the market as a young student. The feature follows how that earlier connection became a long-running Greek restaurant, rather than announcing a new opening or menu change.
Field notes
What changed: KLCC published a fresh account of the restaurant's longevity.
Why it matters: It documents an established local food business, not just new arrivals.
Who may be affected: Market regulars and local-food readers.
