The Boulder Beverage Licensing Authority voted to grant TSR Cucina Inc, doing business as Degavi Cucina, a beer‑and‑wine liquor license after hearing testimony from owner Tamina Rakhhi and her attorney Fern O’Brien.

O’Brien explained that Tamina conducted the neighborhood needs‑and‑desire petition and reported approximately 90 contacted residents and businesses in the defined North Boulder area, all of whom, she said, responded in favor of the application. Rakhhi described her restaurant’s operations, said she had more than five years in the foodservice business and that her staff had responsible‑vendor training. She acknowledged a prior temporary‑license misunderstanding during a change of ownership, said she stopped all alcohol service immediately when city staff advised it was not permitted and affirmed she has been compliant since then.

Board members asked about training and policy details; Rakhhi described a more detailed internal alcohol policy beyond the one‑page submission, including ID verification for anyone under 40 (government ID required), intoxication monitoring, incident reporting, a refusal‑of‑service policy and storage security. She also said the patio will not be licensed at this time and any patio service would be sought later through a premises modification.

After closing testimony, Member Barnes moved to approve the beer‑and‑wine license, Member Carr seconded, and the board voted in favor. The authority’s action grants a local license; state approval remains a separate requirement under Colorado’s dual licensing system.
