Today my friend Helena posted on Facebook the sad news about the owner of ONNO, Karnigue Nicolian, brother of Carmen Nicolian.
Many of you may know that this is one of my favorite restaurants in
Beirut. I wrote a review in 2012 and they put it on the wall of the
restaurant in Bourj Hamoud. I am so proud to be a tiny part of this
restaurant. The family who own and operate it are lovely and really
cook with love. They have been in operation for 25 years and finally a
year ago, they got their big break—They opened in Badaro and were also
going to open in Hamra....and now BANG! Life is so unfair. I am very
sad.

It
is with a very heavy heart and enormous sadness that I write these few
words. Karnigue Nicolian passed away yesterday in a car accident. His
funeral is going to take place at the
Sourp Nishan Church at 3:00 P.M. this afternoon. Our condolences go to
his wife, Siran and his daughters, and his sister, Carmen and brother,
Nazo. We are saddened by this news and pray that he rests in peace. Helena Krikorian Zakharia
