Back in March, What Now reported on news of an expansion for Stage Kitchen & Bar , the “ integrated, small-plates experience inspired by culinary influences from across the world ” brought to South Florida by Chef Pushkar Marathe and partner Andy Dugard . That second location, opening in Boca Raton ’s Restaurant Row , is still in the works—and as it turns out, that’s not the only project Marathe and Dugard have coming down the pipeline.
Ela Curry & Cocktails , another concept from the two restaurateurs that “ showcases refined and culturally-focused cuisine from across India in a dynamic selection of street food and fresh, daring thali-style dishes ,” is also at work on its second location. It’ll be serving up the same great menu of Chaat/Street Snacks like Tuna Bhelpuri ( yellowfin tuna, avocado, corn, puffed rice, crispy lentils, chutneys ) and Pani Puri ( beet, chickpeas, tamarind, green juice ); curries like Butter Chicken, Kerala Beef Short Rib, and Vegetable Korma; and “Not Curries”—dishes like Tandoori Chicken, Duck Leg Biryani, and a Tandoori Cab Hanger Steak Skewer.
