The Last Train to Delhi has left the station.
The Indian restaurant on Fourth Avenue is closing, ending it’s six-year run in the Glebe.
Owner and chef Surinder Singh announced the closure on social media on Aug. 2, thanking everybody who has supported the business.
“I have no words to describe my amazing journey as a restaurant owner,” he said on Instagram.
Singh added he would be “changing business models” and will move to catering “on my own time.”
The chef served
what he described to the Ottawa Citizen
previously as “progressive Indian cuisine.”
His small curated menu focused on North Indian-inspired dishes.
The restaurant prided itself on serving food in a way that was more sustainable. Lower amounts of food waste and offering more plant-based options were points the restaurant boasted.
Last Train to Delhi also composted and recycled, something the restaurant said isn’t as common as it should be in the industry.
“If more businesses, like ours, focus on producing less waste, it will help our planet and future generations,” the restaurant’s website reads.
The small restaurant in the Glebe seated around 20 diners. It had an exposed brick interior and a small visible kitchen where Singh worked. When Last Train to Delhi opened in 2019, it replaced a Filipino restaurants, Tamis Café, which moved to Centretown
and permanently closed last year
.
Prior to operating Last Train to Delhi, Singh ran the now-closed Tea Part Cafe in the ByWard Market.
It’s unclear if the closure is effective immediately.
Singh did not immediately return requests for comment.
