The return of Minar Palace, to spiffy digs at 1304 Walnut St., is two or three weeks away. The Singh family still awaits a hookup from the Philadelphia Gas Works -- which sounds a lot more fun than it truly is -- along with some sundry licensing.
Meanwhile, Davinder "Daz" Singh, son of owner Tarsem Singh, gave me a tour. That's him in the top photo, beside a good-luck omen (lemon and garlic) his father hung on the wall. Unfortunately today, the dining room was filled with overturned chairs and packing material and some decorations were not up, so a full-on photo was impossible. Below is a photo of some ornamental hookas. You can get an idea of the color scheme, too.
Those who remember the old, hole-in-the-wall environs at 1608 Sansom St. will be blown away by the dark woodwork and stylish, modern lighting; the dark wooden tables; and the wooden floor. Cooking will be done from a counter in the rear of the dining room.
A prep kitchen is at the rear, out of sight.
Here's the menu.

Isn't that on the same block as Passage to India and the New Samosa restaurant? Is that going to be Indian food row?
From Michael Klein: It's down the block from Passage to India. New Samosa is on the 1200 block. Then you have Bindi on 13th Street. Put 'em together, and you're in India-ana.
