Let’s face it – a debate among Phoodies in this town over Ekta vs. Tiffin will never end with a decided winner. Maybe not for long, though. Via both Restaurant Club and The Insider, Philly is aflutter about the Tiffin folks’ plans to partner with Dranoff Properties’ 777 South Broad to open a decidedly non-delivery Indian food spot down at Broad and Catherine. The main event at the so-far-unnamed restaurant features an open kitchen with custom-built, traditional Indian cooking apparatus, including a tandoor (that clay oven thingy that makes the crazy-good red chicken legs), a sigri (kind of an Indian barbecue grill), and a tawa (or tawah or tava, which seems to basically be a giant cast iron skillet). This is inherently awesome already, since most of us have probably only seen our Indian food in Philly magically appear on a buffet table, in a to-go carton, or at best on a dinner plate from an actual waiter. Supposedly each of the 110 planned seats will have a view of the tricked-out open kitchen, so it’s practically a (Bolly)wood-fired dinner theater jawn. Now who can resist that? Keep your peepers peeled for a winter opening.
