Indian Street-food dinner

[Monica Bhide]

Okay here is the deal. I talked to the chef and he indicated to do a true streetfood.. he would like to have cooks outside in the main dining room cooking up a storm in fornt of folks. If he does this he will have to close the restaurant to regular patrons. I hope we can fill it up!!! I am SO SO SO looking forward to seeing everyone again

OK, I admit it. I have some sort of strange mental block when it comes to Indian food. This seems like exactly what I need to get past it! Count me in for 1.
