Two highly lauded restaurants \u2014 The Rusty Spoon<\/a> and Elize<\/a> \u2014 have occupied the very prominent space at 55 W. Church St. downtown over the last 15 years. But that sun-bathed dining room has sat vacant for six years ever since the latter shuttered in the summer of 2020<\/a>, a result of the economic impacts of the coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n

Now comes word that Tamara Heritage, a sister restaurant to Tamara Modern Indian Cuisine on Visitors Circle and Tamara Lake Mary (a restaurant I reviewed favorably earlier this year, faux flora and neon lighting notwithstanding<\/a>) is poised to move into the high-profile space before the end of the year.<\/p>\n

Owners Mandy and Gagan Singh say Tamara Heritage will be a completely new concept, and differ from their other two restaurants by offering a \u201chighly sophisticated\u201d culinary affair.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are elevating the complete experience, from the ambience and service to the cuisine itself,\u201d Gagan says, adding that Tamara Heritage will aim for a \u201cMichelin-star caliber standard featuring curated tasting and set menus.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not since the days of American Gymkhana<\/a> have we really seen an Indian restaurant push the envelope and offer restaurant-goers novel and innovative Indian dishes so I, for one, really look forward to seeing what Tamara Heritage has to offer.<\/p>\n

Singh says they\u2019re working hard to renovate the space with the aim to have Tamara Heritage open before the end of the year.<\/p>\n
