This gonna be an extension of the Shangri-La in West Bloomfield?
Danny, this is my favorite post of yours - and I usualy don't like your posts.
Good stuff! I drop my dry cleaning off at that cleaners every so often and was wonderind what the renovations was all about
Such a pleasant spot--if the food works, they could have a hit on their hands.
Let's all keep our fingers crossed. Any addition in that neighborhood is a good one. I love the idea of stopping at the Cass Cafe for a while, and walking to other places. After the Detroit Jams at the Concert for Colors, a group of us walked to the Cass Cafe. Wondeful evening in the D. I enjoyed walking to Twingo's when it was open.
Curry for lunch! Good news indeed!
HELL YES. finally. i've been wondering about the old twingo's for awhile. last fall i saw someone who worked at cass cafe cleaning it up, and then a few weeks ago i saw it repainted, and about a week ago i saw a blank white banner getting put up on it. i'm so excited, especially since it is going to be indian, and there is a very serious lack of indian food. I love Bangladesh/indian town in Hamtramck, but I don't love not being able to walk there.
BTW, i'm pretty sure i've been to the Shangi-La in West Bloomfield a very long time ago. Probably like 8 years. I looked it up and it is chineese. They have awesome Dim-Sum. But i think the Detroit Shangi-La is going to be indian, so I doubt they are related
Good news for the Computer Science department!
Well, they have a sign that says that they'll serve Chinese and dim sum.
How's the Shangri La in W. B-field?
let us know about the official opening..
yeah. maybe it is related after all
Are they going to be closed Mondays like almost everyplace I want to go in Midtown?
A little information for those of you wondering about this place. I originally installed the computer system in the most recent Twingo's. I have been contracted to install the new menus for what is to be called Midtown Shangri-La in the old Twingo's. They are the same people that own the one someone mentioned in West Bloomfield...and from what reviews I've read of that, they are rated pretty well. I think it will fit good in that area. Twingo's was nice, but wrong type of food/or too expensive for that type of atmosphere, at least that's what I always thought. Too close to the university for that.Quote:

They are waiting on the license. I believe they will be open within a month. Hope this helps all you wondering...and I am new here with this name, but this is what's going on. All of you curious about Shangri-La I felt I should let you know where things are at as I'm a little involved. Cass Cafe, Mario's, Atlas Global Bistro, Angelina Italina Bistro are our clients, and even American Masala was our client and I can't even explain what happened there...lol... Hope this helps.
P.S. I came across this thread because I was searching for new/upcoming restaurants in Detroit and suburbs....
