Spice End to open Indian takeout on South St.
Meet Patel, a civil engineer who opened Spice End at 2004 Chestnut St. in 2013, hopes to open in August.
The recently shuttered Dickey's BBQ location at Seventh and South Streets won't be empty for long.
Now blowing dry the ink on a lease for the corner is Meet Patel, a civil engineer who owns Spice End at 2004 Chestnut St. as well as a Spice End food truck based at 33d and Arch Streets, near Drexel.
The South Street branch of Spice End, due to open in early August, will be a tad different from the Rittenhouse flagship.
In addition to Spice End's signature kati rolls, the menu will include four or five Indo-Chinese dishes, says Patel, including "chicken 65," gobi Manuchurian, and paneer chilli.
Takeout and delivery will be the primary focus, though there will be a couple of high-top tables.
