Cherry Hill Greek restaurant closes

Kuzina by Sofia, which opened in September 2007 in Cherry Hill's Sawmill Village, closed over the weekend.

In January, the BYOB had filed for bankruptcy protection, for a second time.

In a note thanking customers, chef Sofia Karakasidou Khoury and her husband, Assad Khoury, wrote that "a decision made a few weeks ago to close and sell the restaurant business has come to fruition this past week."

The space previously had been Athens Cafe.

The note added that the Khourys would focus on catering and wholesale, and will schedule a series of monthly theme dinners. The first will be Oct. 1 at the Potato Homestead Farm in Sewell, the note said.

Kuzina by Sofia had been a visible part of the South Jersey scene, staging frequent demonstrations at Whole Foods and for a year, offering its cuisine at Camden Riversharks baseball games.
