Al Bhakta, president and CEO of Genghis Grill Franchise Concepts LP, and Mark Brezinski, founder of Bengal Coast Restaurants LP, have officially opened their joint concept, Bistro Babusan – Fresh Asian Fusion, in The Village at Fairview, a northern suburb of Dallas.
The menu highlights southern Asian cuisine and was developed by Bengal Coast chef Neville Panthaky. Menu items include soup noodle bowls, wraps, curries, stir-fries, and skewer and salad combinations. Prices range from $4 for "openers" to about $9 for full plates. The restaurant also features a full-service bar.
Bistro Babusan was developed through a joint venture between Bhakta and Brezinski. Brezinski was one of the co-founding partners of Pei Wei Asian Diner before branching out and creating Bengal Coast, a South Asian fusion restaurant in the Oak Lawn area of Dallas. The Chalak Group was the original franchisee of Genghis Grill before purchasing the company in 2004 and growing it to the current level of 44 restaurants nationwide.
