The Toronto Star reports Thursday that Hemant Bhagwani, creator of Amaya Express, Indian Street Food and other Indian themed restaurants has sold all his businesses and retired, at least for now, from the local food scene. Bhagwani has opened 34 restaurants since 2002. “I probably sponsored 40 cooks from Dubai and India, so there’s probably a guy who previously worked at an Amaya in most of the Indian restaurants in the City. But I stopped enjoying it, so it’s time to step back,” the paper quotes Bhagwani.
NEW OWNER AT INDIAN STREET FOOD
He assures everyone he is leaving Indian Street Food Co in capable hands. The staff remains on along with the new owner Vahid Hoseyni. “The future for Indian Street Food Co remains bright,” he adds. The Indian Street Food Co restaurant is at 1701 Bayview Ave. between Dolly Jewellers and the Academy of Culinary Arts.
