Updated on Nov. 10, 2026 in Dining Out
City Food Hall Doral closed permanently on November 8, 2026, effective immediately, according to the company. The food hall at 9420 NW 41st St. was known to many locals as Shoma Bazaar, which opened in March 2022 next to the Sanctuary Doral apartment complex with 15 food and drink vendors.
Why it matters
The closure leaves the company's Doral location off its roster even as its directory listed the site as open through November 9. It also comes a year after City Food Hall announced plans to take over the former Time Out Market space in South Beach, a project still listed as coming in fall 2026.
The Doral location operated for about four years, opening in March 2022 with 15 food and drink vendors, while the company's plan called for eight Miami-area locations. The company has not disclosed the reasons for the closure, and the status of its South Beach project remains unconfirmed.
The players
City Food Hall
City Food Hall is a food hall operator that runs multiple Miami-area locations and has planned a South Beach project in the former Time Out Market space.
Shoma Group
Shoma Group is the company associated with the Shoma Bazaar brand under which the Doral food hall first operated before the City Food Hall name was used.
The details
La Llorona Mexican Food, a vendor at the Doral site, announced the closure in an Instagram post and said it would continue serving at Smorgasburg Miami and Florida Fresh Markets. The Doral food hall previously followed the South Beach Food Hall, which opened in 2024's predecessor space after Time Out Market closed in June 2023 and lasted until January 2024.
Timeline
March 2022: Shoma Bazaar opens next to Sanctuary Doral apartments.
2019: Time Out Market opens at 1601 Drexel Ave. in South Beach.
June 2023: Time Out Market closes in South Beach.
January 2024: South Beach Food Hall closes after lasting until then.
November 8, 2026: City Food Hall Doral closes permanently, effective immediately.
Industry Dynamics
The Doral closure follows the 2023 shutdown of Time Out Market in South Beach and the January 2024 closure of South Beach Food Hall, extending a pattern of short-lived food hall projects in that market. The company's fall 2026 South Beach plan now carries added uncertainty given its Doral closure.
Diners who regularly visited the Doral food hall will need to find other options, and the vendors' reported moves to Smorgasburg Miami and Florida Fresh Markets offer one way to keep ordering from them. Those planning a visit to the South Beach project should check the company's listing for an updated opening date before making plans.
The takeaway
Food halls depend on steady foot traffic and vendor retention, and the Doral closure shows how quickly a location can disappear even while its company lists it as open. Readers planning to visit should confirm a venue's status directly before making the trip.
