Nikki’s Place, the soul food restaurant in Orlando’s Parramore District, was all but destroyed by a fire on March 30. The fire, which started on the upper level of the two-story structure and resulted in heavy water and smoke damage, is under investigation by the Orlando Fire Marshal.
In the meantime, Bungalower reports that a page at GoFundMe has been set up to raise money to rebuild and to support the staff while the restaurant remains closed. As of Tuesday afternoon, $750 had been donated toward a goal of $10,000. It isn’t clear at the GoFundMe website, but according to Bungalower the restaurant has only a few more days to reach the goal.
Nikki’s Place had been open for 16 years prior to the fire. The restaurant was reviewed here just last year.
