Fired & Iced

Posted April 25, 2008 at 11:00:07 AM by Carrington Fox

After only a few short months, Fire & Ice Grill has closed. The short-lived Italian-American restaurant at 1805 Church St. was a project of Sitar restaurant owner Naresh Kumar and his nephew Benny Kumar. Prior to the launch of Fire & Ice, Naresh Kumar briefly operated Indian restaurant Madras Bhavan in the location.

With a sprawling menu of homemade pizzas, beef tips and various sandwiches, Fire & Ice was a time-intensive and non-lucrative project for the team, who have now purchased a gas station. Kumar has no plans to fill the spot, which is adjacent to the recently opened Suraj restaurant.

Judging from that menu, it sounds like a natural progression.

Please pass along my name the next time you hear of an opening for a ridiculously overpaid restaurant consultant. Not that it wouldn't be tough giving up being a ridiculously underpaid writer.

Sadly, the very short-lived Madras Bhavan was hands down the best Indian restaurant this town had seen.

While on the topic of recently closed eateries; does anyone have information on what happened at Aurora bakery? The last time I visited the sign on the door stated under new management. A few visits later signs were up for an auction. Now the place looks empty. Truly sad, they had the best bread pudding and Tres Leches cake I’ve had.

we ate here.. and while it was sort of yummy, the restaurant had a clear identity crisis. And no naan, which is obscene for an Indian(ish) restaurant. Basically, the whole thing was very confusing. I'm still confused.
