Taziki’s Mediterranean Café is officially open in Roanoke with a brand-new location inside the former home of CoreLife Eatery on Franklin Road SW near EarthFare. Owner Jona Ford, a 30-year veteran of the restaurant business says they were very busy during the two-week soft opening. A ribbon-cutting event was held this morning, featuring a check presentation to Angels of Assisi. Ford describes Taziki’s as a “fast casual” eatery.
