Public safety committee forwards Curry Kitchen liquor-license recommendation to council
Summary
The Tuscaloosa City Public Safety Committee voted to forward a liquor-license recommendation for Curry Kitchen LLC, a new Indian restaurant at 3799 McFarland Boulevard East, to the full city council after a brief presentation by the applicant.
The Tuscaloosa City Public Safety Committee on an unanimous voice vote forwarded a recommendation to the full City Council to approve a retail restaurant liquor license for Curry Kitchen LLC, an Indian restaurant proposed at 3799 McFarland Boulevard East.
The applicant, Mitchell Patel, told the committee he purchased the previously vacant space (the former Charlie’s restaurant), renovated the interior and exterior, and plans to operate the restaurant six days a week: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday; the business would be closed on Tuesday. The applicant listed the seating/occupancy at about 245.
A city staff member introduced the item to the committee and said the application included fire review; a fire marshal was present. Committee members asked routine questions about the previous use of the site and the applicant’s experience operating alcohol sales. Patel said he owns a package store in Pickens County and that this would be his first restaurant location inside Tuscaloosa City.
After the brief presentation and questions, a committee member moved to forward the application to council recommending approval; another member seconded. The committee approved the motion by voice vote and the item will be considered by the full City Council.
Votes at a glance: the committee recorded a voice vote with “all in favor” and the motion was recorded as passed; no roll-call tally was provided in the transcript.
Ending: The committee did not debate conditions or restrictions on hours beyond those in the application; the full council will review the license application at a future meeting.
