A restaurant called Zamani Grill has filed paperwork to open in Cordova, proposing a 2,690-square-foot Mediterranean eatery at 8195 Dexter Road. The certificate-of-occupancy application remained under review as of November 4, with no word yet on when, or if, the doors might open.
According to WhatNow, Zamani Grill submitted its application to the Memphis and Shelby County Division of Planning and Development, with the paperwork describing the project's purpose simply as “restaurant use Mediterranean.” The filing lists the 8195 Dexter Road address, placing the proposed restaurant in Cordova, Tennessee.
Beyond the square footage and the cuisine type, the outlet reports that no other information is publicly available about the project. WhatNow said it had reached out to the ownership for more details and planned to update readers as they emerged, though no response had surfaced in its reporting.
Where the Restaurant Would Sit
The address in question falls within Dexter Center, a retail plaza in Cordova, according to a Colliers property listing. That listing describes the center as roughly 28,305 square feet of retail space originally developed in 2001, and it names an Ethiopian restaurant and coffee shop among the center's existing tenants, suggesting the plaza already has something of a track record for international dining concepts.
It is not clear from available records whether Zamani Grill's proposed spot would open alongside that tenant or take a different storefront within the same center. The certificate-of-occupancy filing itself does not detail interior layout, seating capacity, or a target opening timeline.
For now, the Cordova project exists only on paper, pending county sign-off on the certificate of occupancy. WhatNow has said it will share more as details become available, and until then, the 2,690-square-foot space on Dexter Road remains a filing, not yet a restaurant.
