Amsterdam Falafel & Kabob, which opened last June at 808 R St., Suite 201, in the Haymarket, is closing. Its last day is April 17.

A spokeswoman for Omaha-based Flagship Restaurant Group said the company decided the space would be better utilized by closing Amsterdam and allowing Blue Sushi Sake Grill next door to expand. Flagship owns both restaurants.

The expansion will add 1,100 square feet, about 50 seats and a cocktail bar to Blue Sushi Sake Grill, which opened in May 2014. The space will function as an extension of the restaurant's dining room but also will be available for private parties. It is expected to be open sometime this summer.
