We\u2019re almost halfway through the year already, and while there are plenty of exciting restaurant openings<\/a> on the way, there have also been a fair few casualties in Calgary.<\/p>\n

The restaurant industry is a notoriously fickle one, and as a result, we\u2019ve seen some shocking closures over the last few weeks.<\/p>\n

From a widely acclaimed Asian-inspired eatery to a long-standing Chinatown haunt, here are some of the biggest restaurant closures in Calgary.<\/p>\n

The spot was known for its Malaysian dishes, including nasi lemak, laksa, and Sabah-style Butter Chicken.<\/p>\n
