Kondattam Indian Kitchen & Bar has opened its doors at 1006 1st St. SE, right next to the newly opened Semantics Cafe.

Clay Oven Indian Cuisine officially opened its doors for business Wednesday at 1209 N. Belt Highway in St. Joseph, making it one of the first authentic Indian restaurants to call St. Joseph home.

Amandeep Kaur, who will help run the restaurant, said with a smile. “My whole family, we are very excited to open a restaurant.” Spice is the name of the game in Indian cuisine.
