Product Description
Vintage 3 page paper takeout menu from the 1990's for the Rose of India Indian Restaurant which was located at 308 E 6th St between 1st and 2nd Avenues in the East Village neighborhood of Manhattan New York.
Rose of India was famous for its very colorful decor that included year round Christmas lights and disco balls. If you told them it was your birthday the lights would start to flash, Indian disco music would play, and they'd bring out a special dessert for your birthday. The restaurant opened in the 1980's and closed around 2011.
Rose of India was one of the most popular Indian restaurants on the E 6th St block that was once known as Little India (or Curry Row) because the entire block was filled with Indian restaurants (and groceries) serving very low priced Indian food (entrees for $5-$7). At one time there were 27 Indian restaurants on the block, most of which specialized in Northern Indian Punjabi and Munghal food. Gentrification and changing food tastes resulted in most of the restaurants closing during the 2000's and 2010's and today there is only one remaining Indian restaurant on the block.
The menu is in very good condition but it has a crease in the middle from being folded. It measures 13 3/4" x 8 1/4" (349mm x 210mm).
