Style Weekly provides the nuts ‘n’ blots on Lakeside’s newest restaurant:

North Siders were a bit surprised when the casual, seafood-centric LA Grill closed suddenly last year, then became a short-lived Italian joint, Mento’s, for only a few weeks before going dark. Now the place, at 5516 Lakeside Ave., has another identity, New India, and new owners, cousins Santokh and Malkiat Singh.

It’s still a no-frills setting, but early raves for the food might indicate a level of stability in the food-conscious neighborhood. “We just want to let people know that we are here,” Santokh says, “and that we have clay oven and tandoori dishes and many vegetarian items.” They serve a lunch buffet daily as well as dinner, 5-9 p.m. 266-1170.
