Here is the full announcement about the new restaurant from Compass Commercial:
Bend is gearing up to welcome a new Indian restaurant to its culinary scene, The Crown Curry. The restaurant is set to open in the former Nome Italiano space on SW Knoll Avenue and plans to open the doors to the public in late April or early May.
The Crown Curry is the latest venture by restaurateur Bhavna Pardeshi, who already operates two successful Indian restaurants in Washington: Walla Walla Indian Cuisine in Walla Walla and Maharaja Taste of India in Kennewick. Both establishments have built a strong reputation, amassing over 3,000 combined reviews and maintaining an impressive 4.7+ star rating on Google.
“We are so excited to bring our food to Bend,” Pardeshi shared. “We have many guests at our Walla Walla restaurant who visit from Central Oregon, and I was blown away with the beauty of Bend when I first visited. We knew this was the perfect place for our next restaurant.
The new restaurant will reflect the successful model of Pardeshi’s other locations, offering a lunch buffet, full dinner service, and a full bar. The lunch buffet will feature high-end Indian cuisine with grab-and-go options, perfect for those who are looking for a quick yet high-quality meal during their busy day. Dinner service will provide a more relaxed dining experience, showcasing a range of classic and contemporary Indian dishes, all crafted by chefs who have been professionally trained in India.
While The Crown Curry will share many elements with Pardeshi’s existing restaurants, she also plans to introduce unique features tailored to the Bend community. “Most of our popular dishes will stay the same, but we will be making some menu adjustments to best cater to local tastes,” Pardeshi explained. “Our bar menu will be different as well—we plan to introduce more cocktails and fun drinks to complement our flavorful dishes. One thing that will remain unchanged is our dedication to providing delicious, authentic Indian food and exceptional service.”
Compass Commercial is proud to have represented The Crown Curry in securing this prime location, helping bring another vibrant dining experience to Bend. The addition of this authentic Indian eatery will further diversify the city’s growing restaurant scene, offering residents and visitors a fresh new option for bold and flavorful food.
“The Crown Curry is an exciting addition to Bend’s dining scene, and I’m thrilled for the community to enjoy their authentic Indian cuisine.” Compass Commercial partner and broker Dan Kemp said. Kemp was the lead broker assisting both the building owner and tenant in this transaction. “These experienced operators, who already run popular locations in Washington, are bringing in chefs trained in India to create delicious dishes for both lunch and dinner—from a convenient buffet to relaxed evenings with cocktails. It’s got something for everyone.”
Keep an eye out for when this promising restaurant is set to open in the spring. In the meantime, check out the menus for Walla Walla Indian Cuisine and Maharaja Taste of India.
