The Lebanese restaurant will open on West College Avenue in Decatur early next year.

Buford Highway is losing one of its ethnic restaurants.

Lawrence's Cafe is moving from the relatively grungy but long-celebrated stretch of diverse eating establishments to downtown Decatur early next year, according to a Tweet from Oakhurst Realty.

The Lebanese restaurant will open at 910 West College Ave.
