The active ingredients
Not all the required components are simple to discover in Baker City, Gavankar stated, so that implies shopping journeys to Boise, Seattle or Portland.
Indian food depends on spices– cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, cloves and curry– in addition to garlic, tomatoes, onions, anise and black pepper.
He stated the dishes aren’t too hot.
“We’ve made it the basic spice level– it’s extremely subtle,” he stated.
The information
The Sunridge Bar & & Grill, 1 Sunridge Lane, is north of Campbell Street near Interstate 84.
The dining establishment is open 7 days a week from midday to 9 p.m. Diners can sit within, or on the outside patio area.
Gavankar stated they will quickly begin publishing pictures and videos about the Indian meals on the Sunridge’s Facebook page, and prepare a grand re-opening in the spring of 2026.
The dining establishment will quickly be on DoorDash.
