damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Duzan yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
On reopening Monday night, Duzan drew a crowd large enough that owner Hasan Diab said, "I had to apologize for the large crowd and the wait time," per QNS/Astoria Post. The turnout followed a renovation delayed by an earlier fire.
Demand didn't taper off: QNS/Astoria Post reported customers were lining up outside before doors opened the following Tuesday afternoon. Diab described the response as a "blessing," saying customers "are so excited, they love the place."
