Indian restaurant forced to close to get new life in recently vacated Borough space

A space that was occupied by The Borough Beer Co. & Kitchen until Sunday will be the new home of a revived Indian restaurant that closed in 2019, the Wisconsin State Journal reports. Owners Vishal and Gagan Kumar, who are brothers, plan to bring back Taj Indian Restaurant, calling it Taj Indian Cuisine and Bar.

The Kumars’ parents ran the original Taj at 1256 S. Park St. for roughly 16 years and had to close as the owner of the property prepared to redevelop the site. The brothers will get the keys to the spot at 444 S. Park St. in the next two-three weeks and intend to make some cosmetic changes. 

The new Taj will offer a bar and a menu that includes Indian fusion offerings, and the Kumars are working with the building owner to free up parking for the restaurant in the back.

The restaurant has a targeted opening date of Sept. 14.
