Fast-casual Ethiopian eatery Moya Grill closes

By Matt Sorrell // January 9, 2017


Moya Grill, located at 567 Mehlville Ave. in University City, has been shuttered. The casual Ethiopian eatery from the owners of Meskerem on South Grand closed over the holidays.


According to co-owner Henok Gerbi, the location, which was open just over a year, didn’t do the volume of business needed to keep up with expenses.


Gerbi said he’d like to eventually relocate the restaurant and is on the lookout for possible locations, though he has no set timetable to reopen. He added that Meskerem continues to do well and will continue on.
