Loved Minar and glad to hear it may be back soon. I heard so much about Tiffin and ordered from them a couple of weeks ago. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good, but was sooo disappointed by the samosa. They also arrived with no condiments I think I may have to go back to New Delhi

New Delhi's awesome

No, it has not opened yet. I looked in he building the other day and it looked like they still had a fair amount of work to do.

A few weeks ago I saw this post on foobooz. . .

http://www.foobooz.com/2007/10/minar-palace-to-reopen/

There is a post there from someone claiming to be the manager saying that they will be open no later than March

MINAR PALACE IS GOING TO REOPEN. The are building the restaurant now, and just finished the menu. how do i know? cuz im the cuzin of the family that runs the restaurant. they are opening at 1304 Walnut st. its opening sometime in February probably within the first 10 days.

hey that's awesome. so, within 2-3 weeks we will finally have minar back? hopefully they won't jack up the prices. that was the best part about minar; $5 saag paneer to go, very hot and fast.

No way. This building? Don't expect $5 saag paneer anymore. Their prices are going to be double of what they were.

i thought they were moving into the old time video joint? in between 2 or 3 other kinda run-down shops?

That's the Philadelphia Club - it's been there since 1850, and I don't expect it's moving any time soon.

That's 1301, 1304 would be across the street (even #s on the south side of street.)
