A long-time Japanese restaurant on West Broadway has closed, and a new eatery appears to already be nearing an opening in the same spot.
Tomokazu, known for its all-you-can-eat sushi menu and robot waiters, appears to have closed earlier this year, only a couple of years after being sold to a new owner and getting renovated.
Located on the upper floor of a two-storey building at 1128 West Broadway, Tomokazu had a variety of Japanese classics including sushi, gyoza, and karaage. However, a big draw for some was the rolling waiter-bots.
The restaurant space isn't going to be empty for long.
Signs for Taste of Nawabs are already up, indicating the restaurant will serve "authentic Hyderabadi cuisine." Hyderabad, India's fourth-largest city, has been named a UNESCO City of Gastronomy and is known for its biryani, a traditional rice dish.
