The apartments are owned by convicted Western suburbs drug boss Fadi Haddara, according to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission database.
Emergency services were first called to the restaurant on 18 November, with the business badly damaged and 60 people evacuated from overhead apartments.
On Monday morning, the restaurant was completely destroyed by another fire, with about 40 residents again forced to evacuate after 2am. The cause of the fire has been deemed suspicious.
