Disaster relief trucks crowded Thayer Street yesterday after a fire broke out at Kabob and Curry. The fire, which ignited in the morning, caused "a bit of damage," said restaurant owner Sanjiv Dhar.
Nitin Jindal, a manager at Rasoi — a restaurant in Pawtucket owned by Dhar — confirmed that the fire started in the kitchen near the oven hood. Neither Jindal nor Rasoi could confirm the cause of the fire.
Kabob and Curry was closed for the rest of the day Sunday. Dhar said he hopes the restaurant will reopen within a day or two, but is not sure that will be possible.
Clean Care of New England — a construction and emergency response company — was seen working Sunday evening to repair the damage.
Dhar said the temporary closure will not affect the restaurant's catering services, including entree deliveries to the Blue Room, because the Pawtucket restaurant has the capacity to take on the extra business until repairs are completed.
