A new restaurant is coming to 365 Fifth Ave. in Park Slope. (Google Maps.)
PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — The restaurateurs behind some of the city's favorite Indian restaurants are moving closer to bringing their flagship eatery to Park Slope.
Roni Mazumdar and Chef Chintan Pandya, who run the group Unapologetic Foods, recently gained the support of Community Board 6's Permits and Licenses Committee for their plan to move popular Lower East Side restaurant The Masalawala to Fifth Avenue.
The original Masalawala — which Mazumdar first opened in 2011 as a gift to his father — closed when its lease expired earlier this month. Owners decided the expiration was an opportunity to try something new, a spokesperson said.
