Chef Prasad Chirnomula Announces Thali Too & Oaxaca Kitchen To Close

Celebrated Chef Prasad Chirnomula has announced that he is closing Thali Too and Oaxaca Kitchen at the end of this month.  After serving the New Haven population for nearly 10 and 7 years respectively, and having received many accolades and other distinctions, THALI TOO and OAXACA KITCHEN will permanently close their doors later this month.  Prasad stated that expansion efforts with restaurants in other markets in Connecticut and the costs associated with that have resulted in financial strains that forced the closing of the majority of his restaurants. Chef Prasad is optimistic that he will reinvent his brand with new and fresh concepts that will again meet the ever-changing culinary needs of these communities.   

Oaxaca Kitchen will officially close its doors after the close of business on Saturday, October 21st. 

Thali Too will officially close its doors after the close of business on Sunday, October 29th.

“Yale’s University Properties has been a pleasure to work with and has always been a supportive landlord, even in this difficult time. We will surely miss our patrons, staff, and the New Haven and Yale communities. We look forward to gaining the same loyal patronage as our next chapter unfolds with our new concept in International cuisine” states Chef Prasad.
