New Manchester Restaurant Offers Food from Pakistan, Bangladesh, India

At Ronak Restaurant, recently opened at 836 Main St. in Manchester, co-owner Alia Zahid prepares food inspired by the way she learned to cook it in her native Pakistan, according to a Hartford Courant article on the restaurant.

Zahid, a Tolland resident who has lived in Connecticut for the past 20 years, opened the restaurant last month with her husband, Khan Zahid, and their children can also be found there when school’s out. Alia Zahid is one of two cooks at the restaurant.

The restaurant is on the same spot as three previous restaurants with food from the subcontinent — Bombay Raj Mahal, Ali Baba, Calcutta Kitchen and Five Star Indian Cuisine were all at 836 Main St. at one point or another.

The restaurant will be open early, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Sunday for Downtown Manchester’s Cruisin on Main Street event. “We’ll also have an all day weekend buffet going on Saturday & Sunday! Only $10.99 per person,” the restaurant announced on Facebook.

For more about the restaurant, see the Hartford Courant article.
