Midtown Lunch

Sad news for fans of Bawarchi in Culver City; it’s been taken over by new management. Known for its Soup Nazi’ish chef who ruled the steam table with an iron fist, Bawarchi’s vegetarian dishes really stood out- even in a neighborhood with a lot of other Indian options. According to the guy working the counter now the chef is having some health problems and left the business. Apparently his daughter is in the kitchen now, but the food is completely different.

The new food is fine, but nothing special; and certainly not good enough anymore to keep me from going to Samosa House when looking for my vegetarian Indian food fix. Bawarchi had already started to go a little down hill after adding meat dishes to the menu a year ago, but it’s still a big loss for the neighborhood.
