Kipos Hellenic Kitchen Moving into The Shops Buckhead Atlanta

The Greek concept restaurant will occupy the old American Food and Beverage space.

ATLANTA, GA -- Kipos Hellenic Kitchen, based in North Carolina, is moving into the old American Food and Beverage location in The Shops Buckhead Atlanta.

You'll recall a story on Buckhead Patch where American Food and Beverage abruptly closed on Jan. 14 with no advance notice. Even the owners of The Shops Buckhead Atlanta seemed caught off-guard by the restaurant's sudden closure.

Now, the Atlanta Business Chronicle is reporting that the Giorgios Group will open Kipos this September.

“I feel the food culture in Atlanta has evolved so much and the community is so friendly and open to enjoying new flavors and lingering in restaurants,” Bakatsias said. “I like the energy going on [in Atlanta].”

The Giorgios Group has 14 other restaurants in North Carolina.
