[Updated] Old Monk looking ready to open



Old Monk, a new Indian restaurant, is shaping up on the northeast corner of Avenue B and 11th Street... the paper is off the windows, as these photos by EVG reader Cheyenne show...



The sign on the window notes that Old Monk is opening soon ...



And it looks ready to serve diners...



There's a teaser site for Old Monk, though it doesn't have the menu posted just yet. The restaurant's Instagram account describes the Old Monk as serving "contemporary Indian soul food."

Prolific restaurateur Sushil Malhotra, whose ventures include Cafe Spice, is behind the Old Monk along with chef Navjot Arora of Chutney Masala in Westchester.

The address here, 175 Avenue B, has seen a variety of cuisine in recent years, including Babu Ji (2015-17) and Spina (2009-2015).

Updated 7/15

The restaurant is now open...

    As much as people hated Babu Ji, the food was great. I hope this place is just as delicious.

    These prices are outrageously high. $29 for Beef Curry?

    I just went here for the first time this weekend. This place was awesome. Food was great and service was OUTSTANDING. They welcomed us like we were having dinner at their house. Go here and check it out.
