Italian restaurants in Long Island are jumping, but Indian restaurants are struggling.
Although there are never as many as 10 Indian restaurants in Nassau and Suffolk counties, there are hundreds and perhaps thousands of Italian restaurants.
Despite the fact that Italian restaurants thrive on the island, there are more Indian restaurants in one block of Manhattan's East Village than all islands, but the two have something in common.
Both sides have entered a period of change.
Pasta cafes and restaurants are superstars in their early 80 s and 90 s.
Cheap, diverse and healthy pasta dishes have driven the success of many new restaurants.
But there are signs that the pasta March is slowing down and will end soon.
Barman Trani, who has been quick to recognize the changing food and beverage trends, is a trailblazer in Italy80's.
One of the first island restaurants to recognize the potential of modern restaurants with moderate prices-
Pasta cafe, he opened pasta cafe in Hicksville and opened branches in Manhattan assets, Glen Bay, Woodbury and grand neck by setting up a chain store all over the country,
The only remaining pasta in Long Island is in Manhattan, and its menu is expanding, offering more than just pasta.
The Glen Bay restaurant was sold to the Boston chicken chain, where the cafe in Woodbury Commons will soon be relocated to the old country road in Westbury, where it will no longer be a backward restaurantthe-
Line pasta operation.
The biggest place to eat the neck right now is pasta Primavera, a restaurant with a variety of Italian menus, and recently the flagship pasta of Hicksville reopened as a Dolce Vita cafe.
Now, the Italian cuisine here is more varied, including pizza and barbecue. Mr.
Tehrani, who owns Rustica Cafe in the Big Neck and California grille in Glenhead, was asked why pasta restaurants showed signs of weakness.
"First of all," he said, "pasta restaurants in Long Island are saturated and the competition between such operations is particularly fierce due to oversupply.
"Although many pasta cafes will survive, this uniqueness has disappeared," he said.
"They are no longer considered as fresh, new, and different places to eat . "Tehrnai added.
As the restaurant owner shifts from his pasta business to a more balanced menu, he also reduces costs and prices by making his own bread and desserts and offering customers a 25% discount card. Mr.
Tehrani said many of his co-owners would follow his example and diversify and warned: "It's time to do so.
"While Indian restaurants have not changed their direction, their activities are more active than normal.
Over the past few months, one of the latest Indian restaurants in New Hyde Park, the port of Mumbai, and one of Melville's oldest Xita restaurants have been closed.
At the same time, the two largest companies are also expanding.
11 years ago, Bobby Chacala and Ryan Saini opened a Jackson restaurant in Jackson Heights.
Its Indian food is popular and therefore encourages shopkeepers to try more ambitious adventures.
They opened 200 four years ago-
The Diwan seat at 37 Port Washington Coast Road has become the largest and most successful Indian food destination in the region.
He proved so successful.
Mr. Chhikara.
Seni recently expanded to Manhattan again.
Like their new 155
Seating restaurant in Diwan Grill, 148 East 48 Street, Manhattan, serving Indian border food in Afghanistan and Kashmir and slightly heavier traditional Indian dishes.
This restaurant is offered by two successful Long Island restaurants in chhikaras for $8.
Buffet lunch, 95-to four-
25% lower than exotic Diwan bread and price.
Sewa Arora, who has Indian Jhoola cuisine for 14 years in Smithtown, is also in contact with, first of all, Huntington, most recently Cedar, and in the near future Woodbury.
If Mr Obama says the expansion will not end.
Arora is an outspoken advocate of Indian cuisine and he has his own way.
He envisioned an ever-expanding Indian takeout chain with affordable prices. and-eat-
At the storefront restaurant, diners can enjoy dinner for $10 or less.
This year, he plans to open another Nassau restaurant in east Suffolk and two or three more.

An Indian restaurant in Suffolk County said, "although it is sometimes difficult for Americans to taste Indian food, they will like it once they taste Indian food.
The price is right and the food is healthy in my new store.
The takeout main course for Jhoola is $3. 50 to $8.
"Many of our vegetarian and skinless chicken dishes are low in fat and cholesterol . "Arora added.
"Indian spices like ginger and garlic are very good for you. "Mr.
Arora hopes that Indian cuisine will be equally widely accepted by Chinese and Japanese cuisine.
Of course, if eating sub-continental dishes on Long Island, Sewa Arora, Bobby Chhikara and Gian Saini becomes mainstream eating habits, it will have a lot to do with it.
