Nirvana Indian Cuisine (3474 Olney Laytonsville Rd.) has been “coming soon” for a while, but Bethesda Beat has reported that the restaurant will open on July 5th.
The owner, Kalistus Gomes, owned Bombay Gaylord in Silver Spring. As many of you remember, a fire damaged the restaurant over three years ago and also caused enough damage for Quarry House Tavern to close. Quarry House has since re-opened.
According to Eater DC, the restaurant offers “assorted salads (Caesar; mixed beet; grilled chicken), sandwiches (portobello mushroom with pesto goat cheese; grass fed steak with chimichurri aioli), and build-your-own entrees composed of core offerings (habanero-mango ribs: baked salmon with honey-mustard sauce; turkey meatloaf with barbecue sauce). Carry-out family meals designed to serve four people (starting at $48) include one main, two large sides, and grilled bread.”
”There was an accident ( a car from a public parking side hit the store wall) and caused structural damage to the building. Under the county law it is unsafe for us to reopen until the necessary repairs are done. At this time it is unknown how long.”
These will be held on Bethesda Lane (across from the Apple store) and will offer:
• Big Screen TVs
• Food
• Beer/wine/mixed drinks
In addition to the 300 free meals on opening day, this location will be participating in “Military Monday”, which gives active duty members of the military 50% off on Mondays and 25% on any other day with military ID. We were told the official Cafe Rio app offers great deals on a daily basis that includes great deals/offers multiple times a week. They’ll also be making a $2500 donation to Montgomery County Public Schools!
Today we have some updates!
Lets start with Viva Japanese Steakhouse. Not only will the restaurant have hibachi-style grills, but they’ll also have a sushi bar and Asian-style fusion dishes. They’ll be opening later this summer, right outside of ArcLight Cinemas.
The next Girl Power event will be held on July 14th at Bethesda Crossing in Bethesda, MD.
This means two floors of:
• Free Food
• Free Wine
• Free Massages
• Free Beer
• Free Dessert
• Free Fitness activities (Yoga, Zumba, Kicktronix, Self Defense, and more)
They’ve announced via social media that they’ll be opening this coming weekend, Saturday, June 30th.
The restaurant description is “classic American cuisine with a touch of Irish.” Owner Macdara Mactigue has promised that Guinness will be served on draught.
The fast-casual chain, based out of Salt Lake City, has over 100 locations nation-wide. This will be their third MoCo location, with stores already open in Germantown and Olney.
Though the “holiday” isn’t until Friday, June 22, they’ll be giving away free salt & pepper onion rings (with the purchase of an entree) on Thursday 6/21 and Friday 6/22.
Ted’s Montana Grill has a MoCo location at 105 Ellington Blvd in Gaithersburg (Downtown Crown). The offer is good for dine-in and carry-out.
The sign doesn’t make it clear when the restaurant will be closing, but an Iron Age employee told me that it wouldn’t be until September and that the renovations will be specifically for a new ventilation system.
