Jonathan Akly, an owner of Mission + Market restaurant, alongside his business partner, Chef Ian Winslade, has begun working on their next project in Atlanta. According to a building permit application filed with the City of Atlanta, this future restaurant titled Zakia Restaurant, LLC will be housed in the Modera Prominence Development, at 3699 Lenox Rd NE.
Construction is estimated to cost $750,000, as listed in the original permit filing. However, a company spokesperson recently told What Now Atlanta the total cost will near around 3 million dollars.
Akly registered Zakia Restaurant, LLC with the Georgia Secretary of State in March, and is listed as the company’s registered agent, organizer, and member.
In 2010, Akly opened {Three} Sheets restaurant and lounge. Eight years later Mission + Market was opened at Three Alliance Center in Buckhead. According to their website, “Mission + Market is the product of more than 25 years of globally influenced culinary experience.”
{Three} Sheets was permanently closed down in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. In its replacement are plans to open an Italian restaurant under the name Tre Vele, which will debut on September 20th, 2021, the spokesperson who also represents Tre Vele said.
Correction: an earlier version of this article listed an incomplete price of construction and did not properly credit both business partners. An opening date for Tre Vele has also been added.
