Daily Dining News: Mati's Indian Express Opens in Midtown
February 02, 2011
After a two month delay, Mati's Indian Express has finally finished its move from Natomas to its new location in the Fremont Building at 16th and P streets. I walked by last night, and it's yet to get its sinage, but that didn't it from a soft open on Monday, reports Bob Shallit of the Sac Bee.
On Monday, the fast-food eatery finally had what co-owner Shawn Prasad calls a "really, really soft opening."
No signage. No marketing. But a note on online review site Yelp had one state worker waiting for the doors to open at 11:30. Others dropped by all day.
Look for crowds as word gets out. This place has a serious following.

Goat dinner coming to Grange - At the tail end of 2010, I queried local and national sources to see what food trends were in store for 2011. Patrick Mulvaney of midtown's Mulvaney's B&L restaurant went on a limb to declare that goat would be the hot meat of 2011, especially with farm-to-table restaurants. Well it looks like the prediction is starting to come true. Chris Macias in the Sac Bee.
