The DeKalb County fire department is continuing to investigate what caused Sunday morning’s fire that destroyed the popular Bombay Grill on Savoy Drive in Chamblee.

No one was present when the fire began around 4:30 am, and no injuries have been reported.

A driver on I-285 saw smoke coming from the restaurant, according to Channel 2 Action News and the AJC. Flames were already spreading throughout the building when firefighters arrived.

The restaurant sits along the inside of I-285 between North Shallowford and North Peachtree roads, according to Heneghan’s. The property sits between a bowling alley and a Wendy’s, and has been speculated as being a catalyst for redevelopment of the area.

In the meantime, condolences have been pouring in via Facebook for the owners of the restaurant:

“Terrible!!!!! Glad nobody was hurt.”

“Oh dear. So sad.”

“This restaurant had fantastic food. I am so sorry it burned.”

“Loved this place - great lunchtime buffet.”

“How sad. Hope they can rebuild and reopen.”
