Instanblue Owner To Open Lavash, A Fast Food Joint

Okan Ozyurteri is also planning a Mexican restaurant in the former Buckhead Tavern space.

Okan Ozyurteri, the owner of Instanblue, is looking to open Lavash adjacent Texaco at 345 Pharr Road NE in Buckhead.

This is the second planned eatery for Ozyurteri in 2016.

What Now Atlanta (WNA) earlier this week broke news that Ozyurteri is planning a yet-to-be-named Mexican restaurant in the former Buckhead Tavern space.

Lavash, named for “crisp Middle-Eastern flatbread” (which is on the menu at Istanblue), will be a fast food concept, according to Ozyurteri.

Ozyurteri was unavailable Tuesday to comment further.

This location has seen numerous restaurants come and go. Not sure we need another Mediterranean restaurant in the neighborhood. Wish them luck however.
