Thursday (6/19) is the firm opening of King of Tandoor, a white-tablecloth Indian BYO at 1824 Callowhill St. in Franklintown, down the block from Sabrina's and a few doors from the still-under-construction Kite & Key Tavern.
Owner Mohammed Islam is counting on future boom in this relatively quiet part of town. Developer David Grasso has a late-2010 opening plan for his nearby Intercontinental Hotel/Best Buy/Whole Foods project that he calls The Vine.)
Here are a couple shots of the dining room at King of Tandoor, which seemed all ready to go during my swing-by on 6/17.
Bottom photo is one of two ... how to best say it? ... bold chandeliers.
