Looks like we've lost another one in Little Italy...and one in Harborplace
Hungry Eyes sent me this link to an announcement of a public auction of a Little Italy restaurant.
When I Googled the address, it turns out the restaurant is India Rasoi.
Of all the possible closings in the neighborhood, I guess this is the least surprising. People just don't think of going to Little Italy for Indian food.
Midnight Sun Sam tells me Big Kahuna Cantina in Harborplace has also closed its doors.

Wow an Indian Restaurant in Little Italy closes. I guess Indian restaurants are not popular in Italy.
As far as Big Kahuna Cantina it closes every year for the winter season but I didn't think it closed until either the beginning of October or November. Maybe they are closing for the season a little early.

Speaking of closings, if you cast your mind back, we had a mystery location on offer. Most thought it was Soto Sopra, but I don't recall that there was ever any true resolution to the issue. Any update?

It was Sotto Sopra.
India Rasoi has been there for quite a while. Could it be as long as eight years?

Feh. I never ate there, but they did deliver to my house which I took advantage of a few times.

I am so sad to hear that India Rasoi is closed. We use to order takeout from them at least once a month.

Can't say I'm surprised. India Rasoi was waaaay overpriced. We went there a couple months ago, cracked open the menus, saw the entree prices and immediately left. Mehek was much more reasonable.

Mehek is better priced and the food is tastier, just wish they would deliver.

I think, although can't exactly remember, that they removed the furniture, etc from Big Kahuna Cantina. So perhaps they've closed for the winter for the last time? The company that owns the Inner Harbor pavilions has raised rent on all the businesses there so I wouldn't be surprised if Cantina went the way fo California Pizza Kitchen.
Also, we ate there once and it was, like much of the Inner Harbor food, totally unremarkable.

Big Kahuna Cantina has definitely closed for good at Harborplace, according to this Baltimore Business Journal story.

Good Riddance to Big Kahuna! I've never been happier to hear that a restaurant has closed.
Great idea, great location, terribly unsanitary. Now hopefully, a nice, clean restaurant will move in the space.
