NORTHBOROUGH – A vegetarian Indian restaurant will be opening in the former Applebee’s location in Northborough Crossing.
A2B Indian Veg Restaurant came before the Select Board on Dec. 16, seeking a common victualler license, which was unanimously approved by the board.
The restaurant will be located at 10004 Shops Way. During the meeting, Lokeshwaran Srikumar said that the restaurant was close to opening and was scheduling the inspections.
“We should be ready by the end of this week. That’s where we are,” Srikumar said.
According to Srikumar, the franchise is from India and has about 150 locations there.
A2B Indian Veg Restaurant describes itself on its website as “your go-to destination for delicious and authentic vegetarian cuisine.” According to the website, it serves South Indian, North Indian and Chinese cuisine.
“It would be really great to start the business during the holiday season so we can grab some nice marketing,” said Srikumar.
According to the restaurant’s Facebook page, it was scheduled to hold a grand opening on Dec. 24 at 11:30 a.m.
“Occasionally, I’ll eat at Margarita’s, and I’ll [see the sign for the restaurant.] We have some potential fans in our family that, I think, will want to be there as soon as possible,” said Chair Mitch Cohen.
