Meanwhile, Art of Dosa, newly reopened after a pandemic hiatus in Revival Food Hall in the Loop, is hoping for a big delivery day with special rainbow dosas. Rooh in the West Loop is also offering a special menu, and its owners have a special menu at their new pub Bar Goa in River North and inside Time Out Market Chicago. In Lincoln Park, Tandoor Char House is ready for a busier-than-normal day, sending out emails to customers writing that the holiday is “a reminder of better times with our family and friends, and the sweet reminder that brighter beginnings are on the horizon.” For the second-straight year, pop-up chef Jasmine Sheth has launched her Tasting India Diwali sweet shop. For example, chef Zubair Mohajir is opening his new restaurant, Aman, the day after Diwali with a special vegetarian 10-course holiday dinner in Wicker Park. Those traditions are now going mainstream, and Chicago is seeing more public events and observances than ever with restaurants playing a key role.
