College student to open restaurant in Miami Twp.
MIAMI TWP., Montgomery County — A new Indian restaurant is poised to open at 9632 Springboro Pike (Ohio 741) — and it’s owned by a college senior who will operate the restaurant with help from his family.
Named Namaste India, the 1,700-square feet restaurant has seating for about 36 people and is located in the strip shopping center that also houses a Scrambler Marie’s restaurant. Its goal is to “provide our customers with the best tasting and largest varieties of Indian food without the long wait and high prices,” according to its web site, which says it will offer “North Indian, South Indian, Gujarati, Indo-Chinese, Chaats and even our exclusive Indian Wraps.” Click here to read the restaurant’s menu.
Namaste India is owned by Sunny Thakkar, a senior at the University of Cincinnati finishing up a psychology degree.
In an email, Thakkar wrote, “We want to bring something fairly new to Dayton — Indian fast food, where there will be a large variety, delivered fast and at a low cost.”
Thakkar said his parents have been successful restaurateurs, “and I want to follow in their footsteps.” His parents and sister will provide “a helping hand” in operating the restaurant, Thakkar said.
The restaurant will open soon, but no date has been set yet, the restaurant owner said. When it does open, Namaste India’s phone number will be (937) 433-0101.
