March 14, 2022
Sankranti, a fast casual Indian restaurant from Srinivasa "Nimms" Nimmagadda is now open for dine-in service. The Dunwoody restaurant, located at 237 Perimeter Center Parkway NE in the State Farm building, serves Indian favorites like kathi rolls (burritos) and curry bowls, according to a company press release.
"After offering delivery for several weeks, we are excited to finally welcome guests to dine-in on our authentic cuisine," said Nimmagadda, who also owns a fine-dining Indian restaurant and banquet hall (also called Sankranti) in Johns Creek.
Sankranti (pronounced sum-kraanthi, which means "positive change" in Sanskrit) features health-conscious offerings representing both the northern and southern regions of India.
Guests place orders at the counter and build their meals choosing from proteins like tikka chicken, malai chicken or lamb, as well as vegetarian options like paneer tikka masala.
The 1,700-square-foot restaurant features an open kitchen, seating for 30 guests at tables indoors and outdoor seating for an additional 30 and is the first location of what Nimmagadda envisions as a national franchise.
"Our aim for opening Sankranti has always been to bring Indian cuisine into the mainstream," Nimmagada said. "We know once guests visit and try our menu, they are going to fall in love with our concept and flavorful food."
