Bombay Palace

The newest tenant at 2912 West End Ave may be just what the property needed.  Squeezed between the dingy China Dragon and renovated Bike Pedlar, the brand new Bombay Palace Indian food restaurant sits in the spot previously occupied by Nola’s Cajun Cuisine. With less than a week on the block, they seem to be pulling in a good crowd and have already hooked some “regulars”. They offer a... read more

Samurai Sushi

Third time’s the charm, right? Well, charm is a great word to describe Samurai Sushi. Hidden between a pizza parlor and another italian restaurant on Elliston Place, Samurai Sushi is a small sushi bar that can seat about 18 people, max. It reminds me of the sushi place we ate at in Tokyo in the fish market at 7:30am. Except…. The “sushi”, as delicious as it is, is as far away from... read more
