Over the weekend, I Love Curry celebrated Diwali, the Indian Festival of Lights, at its first brick-and-mortar location off Bayshore Drive in East Naples. The new local restaurant serves Indian cuisine for lunch and dinner. The business began as a food truck two years ago and previously was at Celebration Park, which is a short distance from its new location in the Gulf Gate South retail strip on Weeks Avenue. Co-founder Digambar “Chef D” Sahu has been fulfilling curbside pickup pre-orders from his colorful food truck in the parking lot. Now, the new restaurant’s open kitchen serves a mixture of traditional northern and southern Indian cuisine as well as dishes from Chef D’s native Mumbai on India’s west coast. I Love Curry, 2740 Bayshore Drive, Unit 11, is open 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday. For more information call 239-331-4200 or go to ilovecurry124.com.
