I live just a block away and really enjoy Indian but Babu was too expensive and too much of a scene for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-3040073462979519322017-05-23T13:06:43.625-04:002017-05-23T13:06:43.625-04:00What I meant is that Babu Ji is more of a foodie d...What I meant is that Babu Ji is more of a foodie destination restaurant than a place for local residents to eat and hang out in, so if their problem is purely legal one they could have moved into a nearby storefront on the same block under a new LLC. I doubt their business will be much better over on 13th St, plus they lose the cachet of being in our hip, overpriced neigborhood. If they wanted to be in a cool location then being a block off that 14th Street strip, on the other side of the same block with the Taco Bell -- isn't going to help. Not only did they pick a spot away from Bro-Deo drive, they lost the cool factor by moving away from the EV and over to Midtown South. It's a win-win since now we get a quality Indian restaurant from a guy who knows how to run a place properly, and whose food I have been eating for decades.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-57727214666239849812017-05-23T11:10:38.930-04:002017-05-23T11:10:38.930-04:00@giovanni totally different neighborhood, it's...@giovanni totally different neighborhood, it's not that close.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-2742481971846582232017-05-22T12:15:55.755-04:002017-05-22T12:15:55.755-04:00This guy knows how to run an Indian restaurant, lo...This guy knows how to run an Indian restaurant, looking foward to seeing what they do with the space. It's bizarre that Babu Ji would open another restaurant just a few blocks away, but maybe its just a legal maneuver to protect ther assets. Or maybe their asses.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-82618091251884666392017-05-22T08:07:32.050-04:002017-05-22T08:07:32.050-04:00I hope "fun restaurant" doesn't mean...I hope "fun restaurant" doesn't mean a loud one.
