Been a roller coaster run. Started with an Eater article and this chapter ends with one. Thank you so much and for covering us so often and so generously thus far along our still early saga. More than we deserved 🙇🏾
JOIN US THIS WEEK 8a-8p until final Friday Aug 1. And don’t forget about Aug 9/10 in Lisle.
Note: we apologize - our combi oven decided to stop working before us, so we aren’t able to serve Idli or Biryani this last week unless we can get it fixed somehow… But we will keep Uthappam (idli/dosa batter pancake with vegetables) and Pesarattu (moong dosa) on all day from here.

So sorry everyone - we have to CLOSE EARLY today WEDNESDAY MARCH 13 due to an equipment issue. 😢 Def something about March 13 for us 🤔 - in 2020 that was the day our ABC news segment ran with , but also was our last day open pre-pandemic. We aim to reopen tomorrow. We will keep you posted…

My bro and I used to deliver this newspaper in Munster Indiana growing up. Came back to the country today after a three week work trip all over Asia and found this in the news stand. Front page mention, next-to-the-crossword full-page pic, middle insert 2-page feature!
