A Vestal man is opening a Binghamton restaurant that will feature Indian street food.

Manish Verma said Spice of India will be located at 1217 Vestal Avenue. The site is across the street from the South Side post office.

Verma describes the restaurant as an "Indian street food bistro." He said Spice of India was launched launched last August as a pop-up shop that operated weekends at the Cornell Cooperative Extension on Front Street in the town of Dickinson.

Verma said the response to the pop-up business was so great, he searched for a location for a restaurant that would be open seven days a week.

The spot he selected most recently was home to Taste Buddies, an ice cream shop that was operated by a Kirkwood mother-and-daughter team.

Verma has been busy renovating the space for the future restaurant over the past few months.

The place will have a menu offering "Indian favorites along with a wide variety of Indian street snacks." Verma said everything will be priced at $20 or less.

Spice of India is scheduled to open on August 12. It's expected to operate every day from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
