One Of My Favorites


I am so happy that Shakahari, 1458 Boston Post Road, Old Saybrook, is open. After first opening in 2016, they had to close for a while after a fire, and every few years, they close for a few months in the winter, when business slows down, so they can travel. I had not been in a while but stopped by recently to pick up some food on the fly and was happy to see Rekha, the chef, and Bhima, who helps her run the restaurant. They make everything from scratch and place an emphasis on healthy food. I ordered one of my favorites, patra (colocasia leaves with chickpea flour and carom seed), and it was just as good as ever. I look forward to returning! Find out more at www.shakaharict.com or by calling 860-575-7339.
