Restaurateur Roni Mazumdar and chef Chintan Pandya the hitmaking duo behind Adda, Rahi, and Dhamaka have decided to permanently shut down the original Lower East Side location of Indian street food spot the Masalawala, bringing an “emotional” end to the first restaurant that Mazumdar opened in NYC, a restaurant spokesperson tells Eater New York.
The Masalawala’s lease expired in April and the team decided not renew it, according to the representative. Instead, Mazumdar and chef and business partner Chintan Pandya are working on opening an upcoming Park Slope location of the Masalawala this fall under the duo’s Unapologetic Foods restaurant group. It will be “very different” from its predecessors, Mazumdar told Eater New York in an email in mid-April. They also plan to apply for a full liquor license at the Brooklyn location.
