Vajra, serving modern Indian and Nepalese food, should soon open in West Town - Eater Chicago

"Holidays will get special attention when Vajra, a new South Asian restaurant serving Indian and Nepalese food, opens in West Town. Imagine special tasting menus for Christmas, Mother’s Day, and holidays observed in South Asia like Diwali. That’s one way the restaurant will differ from other South Asian restaurants in Chicago, said co-owner Dipesh Kakshapaty. Momos are an iconic Nepalese offering, and Kakshapaty couldn’t imagine opening a restaurant without the dumplings. He’s thinking lobster momos on holidays. Not every day is a holiday, but Vajra — which could open by the end of the month — will likely debut with goat-stuffed dumplings. Vajra has taken over the former Charlatan space, the restaurant that closed in 2017 at 1329 W. Chicago Avenue." - Ashok Selvam
