Because they’re probably ready to open and plan to go ahead with it. They can start off in the limited capacity while they’re still starting out.

It says they had a Puja in September 2019 - so they leased before the pandemic started. If they finished construction they might as well open since they're paying rent (hopefully for her and other investors they got lower rent rates after it came up for renewal last year).

PC long back mentioned about her restaurant plans.. I think I have read about it when she was working on Quantico.

It was planned with one of her Newyorker friend Manish?.. is it the same or totally solo venture?

I love butter chicken

I’ll stop by when I can

What extra or out of the ordinary will this "Indian" restaurant offer?

Wohi same butter chicken, chhole, naan, lassi, desi buffet, etc. etc. etc.

Why is Indian food in the west so expensive though? They are trying to make Indian cuisine some really fancy royal cuisine, yet in reality street food is the real Indian food

For cheap desi items I actually prefer going to Pakistani/Bangladeshi/Sri lankan places. Indians try too hard to make the same food so expensive.

Here where I live, you can't even get a Dosa or Biryani under $20.00 at a Indian restaurant.

A Pakistani place down the road sells really tasty biryani for $5 and for cheap good Dosa I usually go to Sri Lankan places

Maybe where you lived had more Pakistani restaurants than Indian. Cause where I live, indian buffet was $8-$9 per head vs Pakistan buffet starting at $16 per head.

Also where were you getting $5 biryani... I couldn’t even find chana chat for under $8 😜

Why? We're still in pandemic mode. Restaurants were just allowed to have 35% inside dining capacity. Restaurants have been going out of business at an alarming rate. We probably won't hit the wanted vaccinated threshold of 75% for another 5-6 months.

Actually, some docs say we're expected to hit herd immunity by April.

Where exactly do you live? There are plenty of cheap and expensive Indian food options in all the major US cities I have visited. I live in Atlanta and we have all kinds of options. Indian food tastes good whether it’s cheap or expensive so who cares.

I live in a small town. There are 3 Indian restaurants, 2 of them sell American idea of Indian food. 😆 There is a 3rd one which sort of looks like a village teashop and does thaalis. It's run by a Hyderabadi owner. Food is goood! And spicy!

But I still want Malayali food, and it's 200 miles to the nearest Mallu catering place. I don't think there is a restaurant around.

Congratulations, PC! 🤗

I really appreciate her business acumen!

PC is doing it all🥳

So happy to see her doing different things.
