PASADENA: Family-Style Dinner at Akbar Cuisine of India
Details
IMPORTANT NOTE: DUE TO TOO MANY LAST-MINUTE RSVP CANCELLATIONS RECENTLY: ANYONE WHO CANCELS WITH LESS THAN 48-HOUR NOTICE, NO SHOWS, OR ARRIVES MORE THAN 10 MINUTES LATE WILL BE PLACED ON A 2-MONTH PROBATION AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND ANY EVENTS DURING THAT PROBATIONARY PERIOD.
My friend, Avinash Kapoor, closed his restaurant in Old Town Pasadena about 4 years ago when the rent for his location went up. He moved to DTLA and then recently back to Pasadena. At the new location for about 6 weeks, I'd like us to go and support his new place.

IMPORTANT EVENT INFO:
• We will meet inside the restaurant shortly before our 6:00 pm reservation. Please don't be late or they won't seat us until our entire party is present.
• Dinner here is expected to be around $60 or more depending on how much food we order, any drinks you may order, tax, and at least 20% gratuity). Please bring at least $60 in cash (small denominations preferred) to pay for your share of the meal. However, if necessary, I can accept payments via Zelle (which, unlike Paypal or Venmo, does not charge a service fee).
• Family-Style Dining: Dining for this event has been designated as Family-Style. The food bill will be split evenly among all attendees. Attendees will be responsible for paying for their own beverages. Please note that flexibility is an important part of family-style dining, and if you want to take a chance on attending, you have to be amenable to what the group/AO will order. You don't have to eat everything that is ordered, but everyone pays equally, whether you eat everything or not. If this definition of Family-Style Dining doesn't feel comfortable, this may not be the right type of event for you. In addition, if you have ANY dietary restrictions or ingredients you do not wish to consume, then you may want to skip this event. Ordering dishes modified to fit someone's dietary needs or personal tastes will alter the true flavors of those dishes for the rest of the group.
• PARKING INFO: Free parking at Pasadena Inn, where the restaurant is located. Street parking is available. Be sure to read all signs for any parking restrictions.
