I appreciate Andrew Coppolino integrating information from various sources for this piece. I'm reluctant to believe single-source reports. I guess it's a thing.
I noticed that they used a picture of the Toronto location of Classic Indian rather than the local one.
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - neonjoe - 10-23-2023
Classic Indian also has the double whammy of moving out where they could draw residential traffic from Wissler area to Stroad King N of Northfirld.

On the other side ... Casa Toro 88 (at Charles and Benton) was hopping busy on Sunday afternoon. Will hopefully check it out very soon!
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - Rainrider22 - 10-24-2023
I have been buy a few times now. I want to drop in and try it.
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - tomh009 - 10-24-2023
It's already got way more customer traffic than the creperie ever had, so this is a good sign. Probably a combination of a more popular cuisine plus an increased DTK population.
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - Acitta - 10-26-2023
I just noticed that a new Indian restaurant has opened at 155 Highland Rd. E. in the space last occupied by Manon Bakery.
Kachiguda Junction.

The City of Waterloo is exploring a zoning bylaw amendment for "low risk" home kitchens. These sort of businesses are rather popular now (there is/was an amazing one in Guelph that made great South American food that to obtain, you would have to get the "secret location" for it and order there) so it would be a nice idea to allow this so local entrepreneurs and talented cooks could sell their homemade creations.
EngageWR has some more info here: https://www.engagewr.ca/home-occupation-bylaw-amendment

Official opening, including a liquor licence, is slated for this coming Friday.

No loss there, although the curse of Waterloo Square seems to continue ....

How does a place that busy fail to pay rent?
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - nms - 11-21-2023
The same way that Bad Boy Furniture goes bankrupt...something changes in their business model (or perhaps their personal life) and suddenly running the business doesn't work anymore.

Hilariously, their site says “Dear customers, due to circumstances beyond our control, we have had to close the restaurant temporarily.”
https://www.chezcora.com/en/breakfast-lunch-restaurants/cora-waterloo/
It then gives “Opening hours”, indicating it is closed all 7 days of the week.
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - neonjoe - 11-22-2023
Cora’s are mostly franchised, the old location at Ottawa/Alpine was also evicted a few years ago.
