Casual Indian Eateries

This Indian Fast Food Restaurant Aims to Be the Chipotle of Curry

— September 4, 2015 — Lifestyle

Catering to the office lunch crowd and those too busy to cook for themselves, this style of dining continues to increase in popularity.

Now, New York-based Indian fast food restaurant Indikitch wants to take the success Chipotle has seen in Mexican food and apply the model to its own brand of curries, samosas and Indian-inspired beverages. With a plentiful menu, opportunity for customization and extremely efficient service, Indian fast food is sure to heat up the rapid dining market while appealing to budget-conscious consumers.
