Gone Baby, Gone 2: Tamil Nadu Bhavan Lexington Ave

Remember Tamil Nadu Bhavan on Lexington Avenue in the Curry Hill area of NYC?

Tamil Nadu Bhavan (located opposite to Curry Leaf) was a south  Indian vegetarian restaurant  but that positioning couldn’t save it.

Tamil Nadu Bhavan has been gone for more than a year now.

Does anyone even miss it?

Tamil Nadu Bhavan – Gone Baby, Gone

By the way, here’s an excerpt from our review of Tamil Nadu Bhavan:

Clearly, service is non-existent at Tamil Nadu Bhavan. Our rude waiter was completely unschooled in the basics of service and had an irritated look on his face all the time, even while attending to other diners. When two Caucasian diners at a neighboring table, who seemed unfamiliar with South Indian food, asked him what is a dosa – our waiter responded in an irritated tone that dosa is dosa. He just never bothered to explain what a dosa is or the different varieties of dosa served by Tamil Nadu Bhavan.

By this time, we were convinced that our hostile waiter – he with the eye glasses and constipated look on his face – must have served as a guard in one of Stalin’s gulags in cold Siberia.

But if you ignore the rotten service, the food at Tamil Nadu Bhavan is for the most part reasonably good.

Which Indian restaurant in NYC is gonna fail next?

We ask the Indian restaurateurs in NYC – Hey, will your Indian restaurant be the next one to kiss the dust?
